Synthesizer

A synthesizer is a musical instrument that is similar in function to a piano, but creates musical notes through electronics rather than the physical resonance of a piano's keys. Synthesizers were really big in the 1980s, but aren't really utilized in modern times. Films from certain time eras are highly notable for their synthesized film scores, in particular the works of John Carpenter.
