Here are 5 free online music synthesizer to create sound loops. These synthesizers can be used to easily generate stunning music loops using various tools like Oscillators, Filters, LFO, Envelope, and more. They are virtual synthesizers and hence don’t require any hardware to work. The best thing about these sound synthesizers is that they almost cover all the tools which are found on a real professional synthesizer. Another interesting feature of all these online synthesizers is that they provide a virtual keyboard which you can play while creating a sound loop.

A synthesizer can help you have a total control over your music like what notes or chords to play, how soft or loud to play, what sound to use, and so on. They can also generate a waveform for sound loops with specific pitch, speed, volume, etc. Most of these online music synthesizers only allow you to create and play music loops, but some even have the option to export the loops as audio files.

Now, let us take a look at the online music synthesizers.
