Readers can expect exclusive interviews and features with legendary musicians like Keith Emerson, Rick Wakeman, Chick Corea, Tony Visconti (David Bowie), George Duke, Anne Dudley (Art of Noise), Bernie Worrell, Devo, Kraftwerk, Air, J Dilla, Gary Numan, and many others — as well as some of today’s most respected songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, such as Greg Kurstin (Adele), Yumiko Ohno (Buffalo Daughter), Mac DeMarco, and more.

The book features beautiful and detailed photography — much of it brand new — as well as schematics, historical promotional materials, engineering interviews, illustrated sound patches, and over 70 artist features. It is the perfect coffee table book and a timeless keepsake for lovers of synthesizers and music history.
