The Moog Liberation was one of the first commercially produced "keytar" synthesizers, released in 1980 by Moog Music.The instrument is comparable to the Realistic Concertmate MG-1 and the Moog Rogue, but it is most closely related to the Moog Prodigy; however, as a keytar, the Liberation was designed to be played in the same posture as one would play a guitar.
The first commercial FM synthesizer was the Yamaha GS1, released in 1980, [5] which was expensive to manufacture due to its integrated circuit chips. [4] At the same time, Yamaha was developing the means to manufacture very-large-scale integration chips. These allowed the DX7 to use only two chips, compared to the GS1's 50. [4]

Suzanne Ciani used a Synclavier to design sounds for the Bally Xenon pinball game released in 1980. [22] The Church used it on "Under the Milky Way" (1988). The way it is arranged gives a sound similar to bagpipes. [23] Chick Corea used the Synclavier on various Elektric Band albums from 1986 to 1991 as well as various Elektric Band tours. [24]
The Realistic Concertmate MG-1 is an analog synthesizer co-developed by Tandy and Moog Music as a basic, low-priced synthesizer to be sold by Radio Shack under their "Realistic" brand. With estimated unit sales of 23,000 from 1982 to 1983, the MG-1 became the best-selling synthesizer ever manufactured by Moog Music, [ 2 ] and is one of the most ...
In 1983, Yamaha released the DX7 digital synthesizer, which was cheaper than its analog counterparts. Studios and producers increasingly used digital synthesizers over analog synthesizers into the late 1980s and 1990s, [1] causing many analog synthesizer companies, including Moog, ARP and Sequential Circuits, to go out of business.

The specific model pictured above is the "Rev 3", first released in 1980. At the time, Smith had a full-time job working with microprocessors, then a new technology. He conceived the idea of combining them with synthesizer chips to create a programmable synthesizer, but did not pursue the idea, assuming Moog or ARP would design the instrument ...
