1917 The Theremin
The device wasnt practicaloraffordable
for the consumer.
Social Acceptance depicted the Theremin
as some sort ofMagic Box!
Electronics was essentially a new field.
Radio, Sound Reproduction, Innovations
Pre-Transistor age. Vacuum Tube
Technology dominated Electronics

1967 The Stylophone
Later picked up by Professional Musicians
and made it into the world ofPop Music
Simple Single Oscillator design made it
affordable, simple, robust & portable
The Field Effect Transistorinvented in
1947at Bell Telephone Labs, USA
The Stylophone was able to reach the
consumer in the guise of a GadgetorToy

1970s Modular Synthesis
Electronic Synthesis Instruments condemned
as unnatural& socially unacceptable
The complexityand thus costallowed such
technology to be accessible by only the rich
Simple Voltage ControlledElectronic
Circuits were developed and Patchedtogether to produce complex sounds.

Late 1970s Developments
Less required Modules combined with
consumer demandfor Synthesizers
brought about more affordable designs
To meet the needs of Musicians Patch
cables replaced by fixed switcheddesigns
Patching Modules was inconvenient, time-
consuming & impracticalfor the Musician
A common setof Modules and their
connections found to be most useful

1980s Analogue/Digital
Hybrid Technology
Digital Electronics technology now at the
forefront. New Synthesizers applied this
technology mainly in Synthesizercontrol.
The development and use ofMIDI arose
Micro-electronics and Manufacturing
technology facilitated more complex,advanced, compact, and affordable designs

Conclusions
All Electronic Musical Instrument
Technology is essentially Modular
Determining Future directions requires an
analysis of the Consumer Market
Available Technologies have a major
impact on System Architectures
Innovative Technology must fitinto the
Consumer Market Practical, Affordable,
Desired, Versatile, Configurable
