Welcome to the Synthesizers WikiProject, a collaboration area and group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of synthesizers and their use in popular music. These instruments have played an increasingly important role in shaping the musical output of artists over the last 50 years. They have also spawned completely new genres of music as musicians work with electronic instruments exclusively. Unlike general classes of instruments, such as guitars, each model of synthesizer is engineered with the ability to create unique sounds and each is therefore a unique instrument in its own right.

(For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects).

Goals
  • Standardize the appearance and layout of synthesizer related articles
  • Improve and generally guide the development of synthesizer related articles.
