From hammond organ to computer music

[marklackeydotnet]

Thanks for creating this -- a good overview of the electronic instruments favored in commercial music.

I bought a Korg M1 in 1988 and worked with it for many years. As with many so-called sample playback instruments, a new *waveform* must be imported via card slot. However, the M1 allows use of one or two wave samples as "oscillators," and it has filters, envelopes, mixers, etc., much like an analog synth, so the built-in waves can be shaped somewhat into new sounds, in much the same way.

Très intéressant. l'histoire la plus objective et complète à court d'engins de musique électronique. Il aide vraiment à voir le calendrier entier dans un délai aussi court. Merci pour la contribution.

WTF? Je parle anglais, seulement. Traduisez-s'il vous plaît. I'd love to know what they have to say here, but my limited language studies were done 30 years ago so I'm in that category where french people speak way over my head while I sit embaassed at being a dumb American when so many people that are mistreated in my country for their same limited skills in English, are also disrespected when so many of them speak 2 languages so fluently. I wish I'd kept up so I could decipher this film.

No love for the Clavinet.

[Meteotrance]

bien mais incomplet, il manque les ondes marteneau le theremin ou encore la fameuse Boite a rythme TR-808 TR - 909 de Roland et autre TB-303 du même constructeur et aussi le Fameux Fairlight qui est la vrai 1er Workstation Sampler au monde en 1982 bien avant le Rompler de Korg M1.

Le fairlight fut utilisé par peter gabriel et aussi Steevy Wonder ou encore Daniel Balavoine et Polnaref, suivi par le Emulator de EMU bien avant les sampler's AKAI.

nice but missed out an important chapter...

The theremin was invented in 1919 by a Russian physicist named Lev Termen (in the United States his name was Leon Theremin).

Keep up the good work man, seriously very impressed.
