Electronic instruments have also followed the evolution of computing. Synthesizers succeed with ever greater polyphony, more and more channels multitimbral, memory, and integrated sequencers, initially rather rudimentary, become sophisticated MIDI editing software, although still not reaching the functional applications running on computers. This is referred to workstation, workstation incorporating multitimbral synthesizer, digital effects, sequencer and mixer floppy drive to save sounds and sequences.
But while technology has helped to change the capabilities and performance of instruments, it has however made no change based synthesizer, namely the creation of sound ... It had taken until 1994 to appear at last a new synthesis, developed by Yamaha acoustic modeling.
The years ninety years are also the revival of analog. Considered in the previous decade as obsolete, old synthesizers and seventies become true collectibles, praised for their warm tones and walls crammed with knobs, easier to use than digital machines. Wave House, Techno, followed by the wave, were instrumental in this change of trend.
Manufacturers will then respond with digital synthesizers with user-friendly interface analog of yesteryear, like the Roland JD-800 or the Waldorf Wave.
It seems that the proverbial heat of the analog is once again a critical success factor for a synthesizer. If the vinyl record still survives today is that it is no longer used for reproduction of sound, but as a source of creation, thanks to DJs, but also for its flexibility of use and its relative strength. It's the same for the synthesizers of yesteryear, who are discovering new opportunities today through diverse musical styles.
