Fondamentalement, il existe deux principaux modes de synthèse du son, indépendants du matériel utilisé : la synthèse additive et la synthèse soustractive. La synthèse additive part de sons simples qu'elle combine pour obtenir des résultats complexes, alors que la synthèse soustractive part d'un spectre relativement riche — par exemple le bruit — pour atteindre à une complexité plus sélective par le biais du filtrage.
