A Love Letter To The 3 Oscillator Analog Monosynth

A short love letter to the 3 Oscillator Analog Monosynth. Covering how the Minimoog revolutionized the synthesizer itself, and modern iterations based on the idea of 3 oscillators, mixed together through a filter in an analog, monophonic synthesizer. Contrasting the way the Moog democratized the synthesizer, and how the Roland/Studio Electronics SE-02 collaboration has democratized the 3 Oscillator, analog, monosynth today.
Note: I am an electronic musician, a designer, and a huge fan of synthesizers. I am not an authority, nor am I a historian. These love letters (I should think that it goes without saying) are Op Ed (opinion based editorial) and thus they are filled with hyperbole, artistic license and some degree of speaking categorically to get the point across. This is not the first word, or anywhere near the last word on the story I'm telling. It's just a love letter.

I have re written the manual for the Roland SE-02 and also produced a track called 'Ahmed' which is the score for this love letter. You can download the manual, the song, and the patches used to create it here:
