An analog synthesizer generates its sound by electricity passing through capacitors, resisters and other electronic components. The electricity flows through continuously like water, and the sound it produces is a continuous wave. On a digital synthesizer the sound is constructed incrementally by stringing together hundreds of digitized samples or "snapshots" of a sound to simulate a waveform.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - digital%20synthesizer

Unlike digital synthesizers, which use mathematical algorithms to create their sounds, analog synths generate sound through the use of oscillators, filters, and envelope generators. This creates a sound that is warm and rich, with a character that is difficult to replicate with digital synthesizers. Additionally, the use of analog circuits also leads to a natural distortion and unpredictable variations in sound, which can add depth and character to a track.  2, fiche 2, Anglais, - analog%20synthesizer
