Synopsis

Electronic music instruments known as synthesizers have been around since the 1950s, but the past few decades have seen their capabilities expand exponentially and their forms shape-shift from room-filling grandeur to sophisticated applications that run on pocket-sized phones and MP3 players. The Synthesizer reveals the history, basics, forms, and uses of this astonishing instrument.
