“From its invention in the early 1960s to the digital revolution of the 1980s right up until the point that analogue circuits could be modelled using software in the mid-1990s, this book tells the story of synthesizers from analogue to digital – and back again,” shares Velocity Press.
Written by Oli Freke, it catalogues every synthesizer, drum machine and sampler created during 1963 through 1995.
“From acid house to prog-rock, there is no form of modern popular music that hasn’t been propelled forwards by the synthesizer.”
Each entry features hand drawn illustrations, statistics and facts – bound on 130gsm matte art paper.
