- Electronic Music Studios (London) Ltd
Electronic Music Studios (London) Ltd. (usually abbreviated to EMS) is a synthesizer company formed in 1969 by Dr. Peter Zinovieff. The company created the VCS 3 the same year. The synthesizer was developed in the basement of Zinovieff's London house.
EMS synthesizers and London studios were used by artists such as Pink Floyd ("Meddle, Obscured by Clouds, Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here"), The Who ("Won't Get Fooled Again"), BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Brian Eno and Roxy Music, Tangerine Dream (all early albums), Hawkwind, Tim Blake, and Jean Michel Jarre.
Rather than using patch cords to route audio and control signals among modules, EMS synthesizers used a matrix plugboard into which the user stuck special pins that connected an input (listed on the Y-axis of the matrix) to an output (on the X-axis). This was easier to examine than the myriad of patch cords used to connect modules on other modular systems of the day, such as the Moog modular synthesizer.
