Electronic Sackbut

Electronic musical instrument

The Electronic Sackbut, built by the Canadian inventor Hugh Le Caine beginning in 1945, is widely regarded as one of the first voltage-controlled synthesizers. Its keyboard offered continuous, expressive control of pitch, timbre, and volume through pressure- and touch-sensitive controls, anticipating ideas central to later synthesizers.
