ABOUT VINTAGE SYNTH EXPLORER

The “Vintage Synth Explorer” is a website created by Matt Friedman, a music, film and television industry professional. What began as a humble personal website (ca. 1996) has evolved into one of the largest showcases of vintage and modern synthesizers and electronic instruments on the Internet.

The mission of the “Vintage Synth Explorer” is to present an immersive guide to these amazing musical instruments through detailed descriptions, high quality pictures, audio/video demonstrations, and an informed community; built upon years of collaboration with other musicians and hobbyists around the world.
