Synth Milestones from 1970 to Tomorrow
Music pioneers have always embraced cutting-edge technology.
Â
1977: The Analog Titans
In the late 1970s, pioneering manufacturers began packaging synthesizers in relatively portable and accessible packages. Previously, synths had been massive, modular behemoths, but iconic instruments like the Yamaha CS-80 and Oberheim OB-X could be transported between studio and stage with relative ease.
Not only that, they sounded magical. Their voltage-driven oscillators brought warmth to their electronic output and helped define classic records by Gary Numan, Kate Bush, and Earth, Wind & Fire.
These instruments were expensive in the 70s, and vintage ones are even pricier today. Luckily, there are loads of VST emulations available, like the Cherry Audio Mercury Collection and GForce OB-X.
Â
1997: The Digital & Trance Era
With the millennium fast approaching, the popularity of big dance anthems and the rise of digital synthesis came together in era-defining harmony. Music across the spectrum was suddenly packed with massive supersaws and galactic soundscapes that only digital instruments could create.
Inject big-energy sound into your music with deals on digital darlings like Vengeance-Sound VPS Avenger or the nostalgic UVI Super-7.
Â
2016: The Modern Renaissance
The late teens saw producers returning to the analogue world, spearheaded by instruments like the Korg Minilogue, and bringing about an explosion of digital/analogue hybrid design.
In 2026, developers are ripping up the rulebook and pushing digital synths beyond anything synth manufacturers of the 70s could have imagined.
Hyperjump your music into 2036 with futuristic physical modelling tools like Baby Audio Atoms, or shape complex, interactive textures with Native Instruments Kontour.
