It means basically I'm using the synthesizer more to change the sounds of other things rather than to use it as the source of the sound.
John Frusciante

There's so much to be said for making your guitar sound like a synthesizer and try to make your drummer sound like a drum machine.
Matt Tong

You're forced to step into that performer role. I can't just hide behind a synthesizer forever.

James Joyce was a synthesizer, trying to bring in as much as he could. I am an analyzer, trying to leave out as much as I can.
Samuel Beckett

As soon as people hear my voice and synthesizer together they hear Erasure.
Andy Bell

For me, the guitar synthesizer is a great writing instrument.

The most obvious thing you can't do with a guitar synthesizer is to really sound like a guitar.

On the delivery plate of the Nutri-Matic Drink Synthesizer was a small tray, on which say three bone china cups and saucers, a bone china jug of milk, a silver teapot full of the best tea Arthur had ever tasted and a small printed note saying Wait.

Never let your wife prevent you from buying equipment. A car will not buy a synthesizer, but a synthesizer can buy a car.

My music, my whole approach to the synthesizer has completely changed now.
John Frusciante

For me it always comes down to what is a good song and I'm very old fashioned in the way that I like to make songs that have something classic about them whether you can play them with an orchestra or an electro synthesizer or an acoustic guitar.

I put all those synthesizer sounds behind Decoy and Code M.D. A lot of things we write together. A lot of things are his, but they don't have that thing I want on the bottom. I often tell him, I say, Bobby [Irving], if there's a melody, there's another one somewhere that goes with it.

I used to practice piano for hours, and now, with a synthesizer, you can input the music and the machine perfects the song. That's why we have so many people in the music business who should be plumbers. They don't really understand music because they haven't been trained.
Quincy Jones

I started working with synthesizer players, and I had to find new instruments. I needed a more complex sound, so I went to a surplus place and got a bunch of hard plastic stuff and stainless steel stuff, and that stuff worked. So from that point on, from the 70s on, I've made instruments.

If you're a guitarist, you should not be intimidated by using your instrument as a synthesizer, but you shouldn't feel that you have to own one, either.

It's been very hard for the guitar as a serious synthesizer to compete with keyboards.

More recently, I used guitar synthesizer extensively on the two albums I did with Robert Fripp.

I'm really not into the idea of just faking songs with a synthesizer. That just isn't the music I'm making at all.
