Synthesizers

Two songs in our field show - "Hard to Say I'm Sorry" and "Mr. Roboto", deal with the impact of synthesizers on pop music.  Here is a quick history of the RCA Electronic Music Synthesizer (notice in the pictures that the first synthesizers did not have keyboards, they looked like huge computers.)  Also, here is a history of the Moog synthesizer, one of first synthesizers with a keyboard and a name that has become synonymous with the synthesizer instrument.
