Overview
Inthe1960s,AmericanphysicistRobertMoogdevelopedasmallandpracticalelectronicsynthesizer.Sincethen,firstinEuropeandAmerica,synthesizershavebeenadoptedbymusicians,especiallypopmusicians,asanewtypeofmusicalinstrument,andhavequicklybecomepopular.
Bythe1990s,electronicsynthesizershavebeendevelopedthroughmanygenerationsofproductsandhavebeenveryperfect.Itcanbesaidtobeomnipotent.
