Question
Basic Answer
Correct Answer:
a synthesizer
Analyzing the Answer:
A synthesizer is an electronic musical instrument that generates and modifies sounds using electronic circuits. It combines sound generators (oscillators) with sound modifiers (filters, envelopes, LFOs) to create a wide variety of sounds. This directly matches the description in the question.
Analysis of other options:
A: A computer is a general-purpose machine, not specifically designed for musical sound generation and modification.
B: An electronic organ uses electronic components but typically relies on pre-recorded or sampled sounds rather than generating and modifying sounds in real-time like a synthesizer.
D: A theremin is an early electronic instrument controlled by hand movements near antennas, but it doesn’t combine sound generators and modifiers in the same way a synthesizer does.
