Exactly 99 of the most iconic, important and interesting synthesizers, drum machines and samplers of the 20th century, individually illustrated and brought together in one highly detailed A1 poster.

From the Minimoog, ARP 2600 and Yamaha CS-80 to the Roland TR-808 and TR-909, LinnDrum, Fairlight CMI and Akai S1000, the poster charts some of the machines that shaped electronic music — alongside plenty of more unusual and lesser-known instruments.

Each machine is accompanied by a short description explaining its significance, including stories such as the ARP 2600 being used to create the voice of R2-D2, or the Eminent 310 providing the celebrated string sound used by Jean-Michel Jarre.

There is plenty of technical information too. Each entry shows the instrument's synthesis type, maximum polyphony and number of oscillators per voice where applicable, making the poster as much a reference guide as a piece of wall art.

The result is a densely packed celebration of synthesizer history, designed to reward close inspection and keep synth enthusiasts, electronic musicians and producers occupied for hours.

This edition has a blue background; other colour versions are available in separate listings.

Over 370 classic synthesizers, individually illustrated and arranged chronologically to tell the story of electronic music across more than 50 years.

From the Buchla 100 and mighty Moog Modular systems through analogue polysynths, the digital revolution of the 1980s and the arrival of physical modelling in the 1990s, the Synth Evolution poster charts the instruments and technologies that transformed electronic music.

Featuring favourites including the Minimoog, ARP 2600, Prophet-5, Yamaha CS-80, DX7 and Roland D-50 alongside hundreds of lesser-known and unusual instruments, it's designed to be explored as much as displayed.

Throughout the poster you'll also find facts and stories connecting the instruments to the music made with them — from the Roland Jupiter-6 used on Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters bassline to the relatively obscure Transcendent 2000 used by Joy Division during the making of Unknown Pleasures.

The poster is the result of more than 18 months of research, illustration and design, with every synthesizer individually drawn by hand.

Available with either a black or white background and printed on high-quality 200gsm paper, this large A0 print makes a striking piece of wall art for a music studio, home, office or synth room — and a distinctive gift for synthesizer players, electronic musicians, producers and music fans.
