Over 370 classic synthesizers, individually illustrated and arranged chronologically to tell the story of electronic music across more than 50 years.
From the Buchla 100 and mighty Moog Modular systems through analogue polysynths, the digital revolution of the 1980s and the arrival of physical modelling in the 1990s, the Synth Evolution poster charts the instruments and technologies that transformed electronic music.
Featuring favourites including the Minimoog, ARP 2600, Prophet-5, Yamaha CS-80, DX7 and Roland D-50 alongside hundreds of lesser-known and unusual instruments, it's designed to be explored as much as displayed.
Throughout the poster you'll also find facts and stories connecting the instruments to the music made with them — from the Roland Jupiter-6 used on Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters bassline to the relatively obscure Transcendent 2000 used by Joy Division during the making of Unknown Pleasures.
The poster is the result of more than 18 months of research, illustration and design, with every synthesizer individually drawn by hand.
Available with either a black or white background and printed on high-quality 200gsm paper, this large A0 print makes a striking piece of wall art for a music studio, home, office or synth room — and a distinctive gift for synthesizer players, electronic musicians, producers and music fans.

Additional Info
This has been a project that has taken over 18 months to research, illustrate and design - a project that perfectly matches our passion for synthesizers and was a joy to work on.
From the earliest Buchla 100 and mighty Moog Modulars, the continuing sophistication of analogue synthesis, the digital revolution of 1980's FM, phase distortion and Sample & Synthesis, this poster has them all. It closes the circle in the mid-nineties with the invention of physical modelling - the simulation of those original analogue circuits.
All the favourites are there - Minimoog, Arp 2600, Prophet 5, CS-80, D-50, DX7 - a roll call of the instruments that powered the electronic music revolution of the last 50 years.
Sprinkled throughout are facts about the synths, such as noting that the Jupiter 6 was used by Ray Parker Junior for the Ghostbusters' bassline, or the fact that Joy Division relied heavily on the relatively unknown Transcendent 2000 for Unknown Pleasures.
Available in black and white, and printed on high quality 200gsm paper, this will provide a talking point in any studio or home.
