So, Keith Emerson's Moog Synthesizer[0] was an analog computer, yes?

Certainly. Most modular synths have all the basics - Sum, divide, multiply, add, XOR, etc.

And don’t forget, analogue random is the shit. In your face entropy!


Cool, I had to come back and post this link of a block diagram of the Moog:

I was going to speak on this as the pictures look just like my Eurorack. The module I have called Maths does all the arithmetic functions needed.


It sure is. As are all analog modular synths. Its just that the "problems" worked on by such analog computers are ...different.
