The first synthesizers developed by Robert Moog in 1964 were modular, containing components such as oscillators, filters, envelope generators, amplifiers, and mixers, and they were typically performed with a keyboard.
In 1967, Moog applied the term 'synthesizer' to his new instruments. In 1969, Switched on Bach, arranged and performed by Wendy Carlos with a Moog synthesizer, was the first major electronic music 'hit'.
