Synth Basics

The document discusses the history and technology of synthesisers. It notes that the first synthesiser, the Teleharmonium, was invented in 1897 but did not become popular until the Hammond Organ in 1934. The Moog synthesiser produced in 1965 was widely adopted by many bands and composers, bringing synthesisers into the mainstream when it was used on The Monkees' 1967 album - starting a revolution in music. It also provides a diagram of the basic components of a synthesiser: VCO, VCF, EG, LFO, VCA.
