Preface
Electronic music synthesizers are exemplars of the intersection of technology and music. The Synth Guide project is an online, interactive, semi-linear narrative that examines the most popular synthesis technologies in their technological, musical, and commercial aspects in a Scalar book using TimelineJS and SoundCloud. The project aims to familiarize readers with synthesizers by demystifying the workings of sound in electronic music synthesis and highlighting key trends in the commercial synthesizer market from its conception to its current state.
