ABSTRACT
As we saw in Chapter 4, by the late 1980s the production of analog synthesizers had almost come to a halt: Moog,ARP and Sequential had closed down; Oberheim, EMS and PAiA were almost inactive; Yamaha had gone over to FM digital synthesis, Korg and Roland to sample-based synthesis, E-Mu and Akai to sound sampling; and all the smaller players such as EDP, Crumar, Multivox and Jen (amongst many others) had disappeared.
