Virtual Synths

Synthesisers were pretty much the first instruments to be emulated in software, simply because they were the easiest. The original hardware comprised boxes that made sounds with electronics so it was easy to put this digital processing into the digital environment of today’s powerful Macs and PCs. Well, when we say easy… Initially companies focussed on recreating some classic hardware synths in software and it is those that we will cover first.
