Summary "What's so great about analog synthesizers? Since Bob Moog popularised the analog synth sound in the early 1960s, musicians and listeners alike have been drawn to the rich, exciting sounds created by artists such as Genesis, Pink Floyd and Kraftwerk. The genre is constantly evolving with a rebirth of new analog-style instruments and the launch of sound synthesis software allowing amazing analog sounds to be created on any computer or laptop. Analog Synthesizers gives a complete guide to purchasing, understanding, performing in hardware and software, and outlines the history of the designers, manufacturers and artists who helped make the analog synthesizer sound heard around the world." -back cover
