It was the very first oscillator tone generator synthesizer, but the world's first synthesizer really was the invention of the Hammond organ in 1935, using drawbars to create the sounds.

This is not a tone wheel organ, but a purely electronic musical instrument! Based on 12 oscillators that create all the tones in one octave, and divided down to create all the octaves. It resembles actually more the way a combo organ from the late '60s and early '70s work, but the filtering is much more elaborate, more like that of an analog synthesiser. And of course, everything is made with vacuum tubes. The rattling you here are actually the vibrato oscillators, the only mechanical part in the sound production. Also here, a lot of over engineering: to make the vibrato sound more lively, different tones use different vibrato oscillators. The tone wheel organ actually predates is by a couple of years.

The sounds are generated by electronic oscillators, not tone wheels. The tone wheel generator was first developed in 1935, by Hammond organ company, the most popular mechanical tone generator.

lil bit, wouldve been fun to see Cipher playin one of theese

Sir It is not a keyboared As it is a type of Hammond organ Witch is also an electric type of organ And I can understand you think it's a keyboared

@@r1friends344 keyboard is a generic term. organs count as keyboards cause they have keyboards

@@mariesyvian8187 no An organs CAYEGORY I keyboared
