Electronic music instruments weren't called synthesizers until the
1950s, but their lineage began in 1919 with Russian inventor Lev
Sergeyevich Termen's development of the Etherphone, now known as
the Theremin. From that point, synthesizers have undergone a
remarkable evolution from prohibitively large mid-century models
confined to university laboratories to the development of musical
synthesis software that runs on tablet computers and portable media
devices.
Throughout its history, the synthesizer has always been at the
forefront of technology for the arts. In The Synthesizer: A
Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Programming, Playing, and
Recording the Ultimate Electronic Music Instrument, veteran music
technology journalist, educator, and performer Mark Vail tells the
complete story of the synthesizer: the origins of the many forms
the instrument takes; crucial advancements in sound generation,
musical control, and composition made with instruments that may
have become best sellers or gone entirely unnoticed; and the basics
and intricacies of acoustics and synthesized sound. Vail also
describes how to successfully select, program, and play a
synthesizer; what alternative controllers exist for creating
electronic music; and how to stay focused and productive when faced
with a room full of instruments. This one-stop reference guide on
all things synthesizer also offers tips on encouraging creativity,
layering sounds, performance, composing and recording for film and
television, and much more.
