In 1964, Donald Buchla developed one of the first analog modular synthesizers. The modules, such as oscillators, filters, envelope generators, amplifiers, and mixers, were mounted together in a wooden case and connected via patch cords. Buchla's system also included a keyboard that could simply be touched to trigger a note and a sequencer that allowed a composer to program a series of sounds to play automatically.
