1. Synthesis techniques - This involves creating sounds from scratch using algorithms or mathematical models.
2. Sampling techniques - This involves recording real-world sounds and using them to create a virtual instrument or sound.
3. Granular synthesis - This involves breaking down a sound into tiny grains and reassembling them to create a new sound.
4. Additive synthesis - This involves combining multiple sine waves to create a complex sound.
5. Frequency modulation synthesis - This involves modulating one oscillator with another to create complex, evolving sounds.
6. Physical modeling - This involves using mathematical models to simulate the physics of real-world instruments and their sound-producing mechanisms.
7. Wavetable synthesis - This involves using samples or small waveforms to create complex waveforms that can be manipulated and modulated in real-time.
8. Spectral modeling synthesis - This involves analyzing the spectral content of a sound and then using that information to synthesize new sounds.
9. Hybrid synthesis - This involves combining multiple synthesis techniques to create unique and complex sounds.
