    S-style solid-body electric guitar model

    Electric guitar · United States

    ARP Omni

    Polyphonic analog synthesizer

    Synthesizer · United States

    The ARP Omni, released in 1975, is a polyphonic synthesizer that combined a popular string-ensemble section with a polyphonic synth and a bass voice. One of ARP's best-selling instruments, its lush strings were widely used in 1970s pop and rock.

  • Realistic Concertmate MG-1

    Synthesizer model

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Realistic Concertmate MG-1 is an analog synthesizer built by Moog Music and sold through Radio Shack in the early 1980s under its Realistic brand. A consumer-oriented instrument, it offered genuine Moog circuitry—including the Moog filter—at a low price.

  • Polymoog

    Synthesizer model

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Polymoog, produced from 1975, was Moog's early fully polyphonic synthesizer, using divide-down organ-style circuitry so that every key could sound at once. It offered preset voices and resonant filters, and its distinctive 'Vox Humana' patch became iconic.

  • Multimoog

    Monophonic analog synthesizer

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Multimoog is a monophonic analog synthesizer Moog introduced in 1978 as a more capable sibling to the Micromoog. It offers two oscillators, a pressure-sensitive keyboard for added expression, and the signature Moog filter.

  • Moog Source

    Digitally controlled analog monophonic synthesizer with patch memory

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Moog Source, released in 1981, is a monophonic analog synthesizer notable for its flat membrane control panel and for being the first Moog synth with patch memory. It offers two oscillators, the Moog filter, and a built-in sequencer.

  • Moog Rogue

    Monophonic analog synthesizer

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Moog Rogue is an inexpensive monophonic analog synthesizer released in 1981, with two oscillators and the Moog filter in a small, simple package aimed at beginners and bass duties.

    Monophonic analog synthesizer

  • Moog Prodigy

    Synthesizer model

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Moog Prodigy is a compact two-oscillator monophonic analog synthesizer produced from 1979. Designed as an affordable, easy-to-use instrument, its punchy bass and lead sounds and Moog filter made it a popular entry point to the Moog sound.

  • Memorymoog

    1982 polyphonic analog synthesizer

    Synthesizer · United States

    The Memorymoog, released in 1982, was Moog's most ambitious polyphonic synthesizer, offering six voices each with three oscillators for a huge, lush sound. Powerful but initially troubled by tuning instability, it is now prized as one of the richest-sounding vintage analog polysynths.

  • Goodall Concert Jumbo

    Mid-large steel-string acoustic guitar

    Steel-string guitar · United States

    The Concert Jumbo is a Goodall steel-string guitar sized slightly smaller than the Standard series and larger than the Grand Concert. James Goodall added it in November 1998 in response to requests for a more comfortable body that still retained a large soundboard area, and it has become a favored size among Goodall owners.

  • Sequential TOM

    A cheaper Drumtraks with programmable tuning

    Drum machine · United States

    TOM was Sequential's budget machine: fewer voices than Drumtraks, tape sound-loading, and a following among people who like their drum machines slightly wrong.

  • Sequential Drumtraks

    Sequential Circuits' sampled drum machine

    Drum machine · United States

    Drumtraks put thirteen sampled voices, individual tuning, and MIDI into a machine aimed squarely at the LinnDrum, and its chips can be swapped for other sounds — which is why no two are quite alike now.

  • Linn 9000

    Drum machine and MIDI sequencer in one

    Drum machine · United States

    The 9000 combined sampled drums, velocity-sensitive pads, and a 32-track MIDI sequencer, and its sampling option arrived as an upgrade. It was ambitious enough to help bankrupt the company, and its ideas went straight into the MPC.

  • Oberheim DX

    The DMX with fewer voices and the same character

    Drum machine · United States

    The DX carried the DMX's sound into a smaller, cheaper machine with six voices and swappable sound chips, and shares its reputation among people who own both.

  • Oberheim DMX

    The drum machine of early hip-hop

    Drum machine · United States

    The DMX sampled real drums like the LM-1 but sounded harder and cost less, with individual outputs and tuning per voice. Run-DMC, Afrika Bambaataa, New Order, and Davy DMX — who took his name from it — made it the defining rhythm box of the early 1980s.

  • Alesis HR-16

    Sixteen-bit drums at a garage-band price

    Drum machine · United States

    The HR-16 put forty-nine sixteen-bit samples and a proper sequencer into a machine costing a few hundred dollars, and made a decent-sounding drum machine ordinary equipment rather than a studio purchase.

  • Alesis SR-16

    Probably the best-selling drum machine ever made

    Drum machine · United States

    The SR-16 stayed in production for decades on the strength of two things: velocity-switched samples with real ambience, and a price that made it the default metronome-with-a-personality for every guitarist and songwriter who owned one.

  • LinnDrum

    The LM-1 made affordable, and everywhere

    Drum machine · United States

    The LinnDrum (LM-2) cut the LM-1's price by more than half and sold ten times as many. Its snare, handclap, and cabasa are so recorded that hearing them now dates a track to within a couple of years.

  • E-mu SP-12

    Sampling drum machine, and the SP-1200's parent

    Drum machine · United States

    The SP-12 let a producer sample their own drums into a twelve-bit machine with a sequencer, and its Turbo version added enough memory to be usable. Everything the SP-1200 is famous for starts here.
