  • A.A.Volodin, a scientist in the field of electronic sound synthesis, designed a whole series of new instruments.
  • In the 1930s, professor E.A.Sholpo established a laboratory for sound synthesis where he developed his variophone, a precursor of the synthesizers.
  • In 1955, engineer Murzin finished ANS synthesizer and in 1955 founded the Experimental studio of electronic music in Moscow. In 1972 the studio acquired the module synthesizer "SYNTHI-100" of English company "Taylor".
