Electronic organ, synthesizer, saxophone, electric guitar, bass, etc.

1. Electronic organ

An electronic organ is a keyboard instrument, but it is actually an electronic synthesizer. The electronic organ is actually not a correct name at all, because it looks like a piano, so some people call it the electronic organ. In fact, the formal name should be electronic synthesizer.

it uses large-scale integrated circuits, and most of them are equipped with sound memory. Used to store the real sound waveforms of various musical instruments and output them when playing. There are two kinds of commonly used electronic pianos: arranger keyboard (with automatic accompaniment) and synthesizer (without automatic accompaniment). In a broad sense, electronic pianos include electronic pianos (digital pianos, which are different from electro-acoustic pianos), and most of them use staff, and most of them are high and low double-line notation. Sometimes alto spectrum, simple spectrum and guitar spectrum are also used. Generally used in rock music.

2. Synthesizer

Electronic music synthesizer, also referred to as electronic synthesizer for short, is an electronic device that uses electronic devices to replace bands for playing and automatic arrangement. There are many ways to make sounds with synthesizers. At first, several sine wave oscillators are connected together, and different timbres can be produced by changing their respective frequencies and amplitudes.

Later, voltage control method was used to modulate frequency, amplitude, waveform, duration and envelope. In recent years, frequency modulation method, waveform memory method and pulse digital modulation method have been adopted. You can also mix the above methods. The difference between electronic synthesizer and MIDI controller is that one does not need control software, and the other must control software.

3. Saxophone

The saxophone is made of metal, which is strong and weak, and can be compared with other brass instruments in sound intensity, which is also unmatched by other woodwind instruments. It has the characteristics of woodwind instruments in sound quality and has the brightness of metal. In performance, because its structure is designed by the scientific principle of Bohm flute keys, its mechanical system is reasonable and its parts are flexible to use.

Therefore, it can play difficult music just like flute and clarinet. At the same time, compared with other woodwind instruments, it has its own uniqueness in playing sliding, vibrato, spitting and blowing.

4. Electric Guitar

The electric guitar is the product of modern science and technology, which is obviously different from the traditional guitar in appearance and sound. The piano body is made of new hardwood, equipped with volume, pitch adjuster (piano button) and vibrato structure (rocker). With the use of effectors, electric guitar has a strong expressive force and plays an important role in modern music. Now it is mostly used for song accompaniment.

5. Bass

Bass is one of the indispensable instruments in the band. It mainly acts as the bass part in the band and sometimes improvises solo. Traditional jazz generally uses the original bass (double bass) to reflect its original flavor. In modern jazz (especially fusion jazz), electric bass or synthetic bass sounds in electronic synthesizers are often used.

Nowadays, the widespread development and popularity of electro-acoustic instruments have greatly changed the word band, and the number of people has decreased. Usually, four people can form a band, which consists of rhythm (drum set), bass (bass), chord (guitar) and main melody (keyboard).
