Note this is NOT the same EMS as the makers of the EMS Synthi, System 100, etc.
"Stiftelsen Elektronmusik Studion (EMS, Stockholm)

1974. EMS was founded in 1968, but existed since 1964 as a department of the Swedish Radio.
It is the very first computer music centers in Europe,

The digital music production was based on a a DEC PDP 15/XVM computer (similar to the Utrecht studio)

At that time the main software for the PDP-15 were the real-time interactive program IMPAC (Michael Hinton) and the universal purpose program EMSETT. Both developed at the EMS. The software controlled the analog synthestizer with its 24 tonegenerators, filterbanks etc.

The film shows both the huge Synthetizer occupiÿing a whole room, the PDP 15/XVM with Tamas Ungvary programming and the fameous control consol."
