Timeline of Patchable Synths

via O'Reilly

Richard Lainhart caught the Synket, pictured below, was missing.

from the EMF Institute:
"The Synket (for 'Syn' thesizer 'Ket' off) was designed and built by Paul Ketoff in Rome, Italy, in 1964. Commissioned by the American Academy in Rome for its electronic music studio, it was a small, portable, keyboard-based performance-oriented synthesizer.

Its principal performer was John Eaton, who used it to compose and perform his Songs for RPB, for soprano, piano, and Synket, first performed at the American Academy in Rome in April 1965.
