The Thomas Synti 1055 is a" monophonic analog synthesizer produced in the 1970s by the Thomas Organ Company, which in 1973 acquired the rights to produce the Moog Satellite, one of the first synthesizers made by the historic American company.The original design was extended and improved by Thomas engineers, who managed to create an instrument that was more comfortable and simple to use live, while maintaining the same character and sonic depth as its predecessor.The completely analog heart of this instrument consisted of a single relaxation oscillator, capable of generating a single sawtooth (or square) wave, which was then filtered and processed by various downstream circuits to shape its harmonic content and envelope. It's clear that these techniques couldn't achieve "realistic" sounds in the modern sense of the word, but they still managed to create unique timbres, still very interesting today, which inspired much of the music of the time."
