@jasonnolan @kennethemig Interestingly Le Caine hated the term when it came into popular use for similar reasons as Strange (signalling artificiality, etc). Arriving at a clear-cut definition of synthesizer, particularly in relation to voltage control (the "killer app"), is among our end project goals.

@Chris_J_King Interesting approach. I'll pass the note along to our tech team. Thanks Chris. They're working on the surface controls rn, but I imagine they'll be back to the keyboard in the next few weeks. Def useful feedback

A look under the hood of the Electronic Sackbut synth reconstruction-in-progress. Keyboard and surface controls wired up. Next steps: making connections to digital sound engine and adapting physical/electronic components to best match functionality of the original 1948 instrument

On December 17, 1972, Canadian scientists working in the Arctic descended into a plexiglass bubble anchored 40ft underwater and made a phone call to PM Pierre Elliott Trudeau. @IngeniumCa has the artifacts and curator @SEJaworski wrote a story about them:
