 Analog synthesizer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Analog synthesizers were mostly replaced by digital synthesizers and samplers over the late 1980s and early 1990s.
In the late 1990s, a fashion emerged for "retro" analog synthesizers, with their proponents claiming that the "analog sound" of old analog synthesizers could not be accurately replicated using samplers or digital synthesizers.
An analog synthesizer is a synthesizer that uses analog computer techniques to generate sound electronically.

 What is a Synthesizer?
The analog synthesizers were usually equipped with an array of good old-fashioned "buttons" and "sliders" on the front panel of the instrument.
But the true power of the synthesizer is its possibility to create completely new, yet unheard sounds - even if not all of these sounds are useful for musical purposes.
The digital synthesizers have a completely different sound clarity, since their internal sounds are stored in memory as arrays of numbers.

 Synthesizer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Synthesizers create sounds through direct manipulation of electrical currents (as in analog synthesizers), mathematical manipulation of discrete values using computers (as in software synthesizers), or by a combination of both methods.
Among the first music performed on this synthesizer was the million-selling 1968 album Switched-On Bach by Wendy Carlos.
The Mark II Music Synthesizer (1958) was only capable of producing music once it had been completely programmed; that is, the system had to be completely re-set for each new piece.

 Synthesizer
In Analog Days: The Invention and Impact of the Moog Synthesizer (Harvard University Press; October 30, 2002; $29.95), Trevor Pinch and Frank Trocco tell the story of the invention of the Moog electronic synthesizer, the people who created it, and its impact upon music and popular culture.
The authors trace the development of the Moog synthesizer from its first conception as a huge modular instrument for studio use though to the Minimoog--the first portable keyboard instrument typical of today's synthesizers.
Though ubiquitous today, available as a single microchip and found in any electronic device requiring sound, the synthesizer when it first appeared was truly revolutionary.

 Electronic Music Literature - The Columbia-Princeton Studio
The work, as Wuorinen puts it, "consists of a core of synthesized music, most of which appears in Part One, surrounded and interlaced with analog-studio transformations of that music.
Babbitt's electronic works have been constructed on the massive RCA Mark II synthesizer at the studio that is Babbitt's pride and joy.
Thus, metaphorically, the listener stands in the midst of this synthesized music, which presents itself to him with maximum clarity, and stretching away from him, becoming more and more blurred in detail, the various transformations - from the slightly altered to the unrecognizable".

It also works on many more less common analog synthesizers such as modular systems by Aries, E-mu, Moog, Serge, and rare monosynths such as the Crumar Spirit, Octave Cat and Kitten, and RSF Kobol.
The MIDIJACK is fully adjustable so that any analog synthesizer with exponential VCOs can be controlled, whether it is 1 volt per octave,.9 volt per octave,.32 volt per octave, or 1.2 volts per octave.
With the MIDIJACK, the analog note sounds while the slow-moving MIDI message is still in the MIDI cable!

The combination of simple modulation routings (such as pulse width modulation and oscillator sync), along with the physically unrealistic lowpass filters, is responsible for the "classic synthesizer" sound commonly associated with "analog synthesis" and often mistakenly used when referring to software synthesizers using subtractive synthesis.
Among the first music performed on this synthesizer was the million-selling 1968 album Switched-On Bach by Walter Carlos (now Wendy Carlos).
