synthesizer

A drum synthesizer done on a PC is limited to the soundcard's samplerate at output, so it's always going to be perceptibly less real than continuous analog.

I once travelled to the United States from Europe with a prototype synthesizer I'd built to demonstrate..

Beep.js really isn't a synthesizer, it's more of a step-sequencer.

I didn't understand analog electronics until I had to build a music synthesizer.

I wonder what would happen if you ran the same minmax scoring scheme through an general instruction synthesizer for the same complexity cap?

Example: I own a synthesizer and a motorbike from the same company.

A Swedish company called Elektron launched a synthesizer based on the SID, and quite a lot of synth people have bought C64s for the sole purpose of cannibalizing them.

I think this sort of stuff might be useful in a video game (maybe???) or someone who wants to make a sound-synthesizer GUI type application.

For example, a programmable audio synthesizer.

In fact, if you both have Macs and want to have some fun, create accounts for each other and use the 'say' command to use the speech synthesizer for chat.

But I don't treat that as an iDevice - for me now, its a well-maintained synthesizer device, which supplanted the previous studio-laptop-laden-with-endless-plugin-crud that I used to use.

In particular, there have been a lot of successes in generating programs from input/output examples, provided the domain is sufficiently restrictive and/or the programmer provides a "sketch" or partial program to start off the synthesizer with.

You might argue this isn't "true" program synthesis, but in some cases it can outdo human programs, because the synthesizer can be tied into a verifier to produce only "correct" programs, where correctness is defined by a few simple and declarative properties.
