Psychedelic trance or '''psytrance''' is a form of Electronic Music that evolved from Goa Trance in the early 1990s when it first began hitting the mainstream.

The original Goa Trance was often made with popular Modular Synthesizers and hardware Samplers , but the preference in Psychedelic trance has moved to sample manipulation and storage in VST and AU software sampler applications. The use of analog synthesizers for Sound Synthesis has given way to digital "virtual analog" instruments like the Nord Lead , Access Virus , Korg MS-2000 , Roland JP-8000 and computer VST and AU Plugin s like Native Instruments Reaktor . These are usually controlled by MIDI Sequencer s within Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) applications.

Psytrance saw wide success in the Tel Aviv dance scene, and moved on to nearby places.

The name psychedelic provides an umbrella term for the many divergent styles this brand of trance has birthed, including Goa, Melodic , Dark , Progressive and Suomi . Referring to it as "psychedelic" also distinguishes the style from the ' Clubb ier' Trance Music and reinforces the roots of Goa trance in the psychedelic community.

Psychedelic trance generally has a fast tempo, in the range 140 to 150 BPM . The emphasis in psychedelic trance is placed strongly on purely synthesized timbres for programming and lead melodies.
