Robert Schroeder selfbuilt-synthesizer
(ca. 1977)

Except the organ and the tape-machine all devices on the photo are the first do-it-yourself construction synthesizers of Robert Schroeder.

Robert Schroeder selfbuilt-synthesizer No.1
(ca. 1978)

Here the first modular selfbuilt synthesizer of Robert Schroeder is to be seen. To the left of it, in addition, one still sees the first selfbuilt "sound producers" who could be used exclusively to the production from "twitter -and bubble-sounds". (On the right of it) only the modular selfbuilt system allowed the plays with tones by means of a keyboard. This existed of beginning, however, only of a board with contact surfaces. It was played on it monophonic with a contact stylus.

The photo of this synthesizer was used, by the way (colour-changed) as cover for the CD "D.MO Vol.1" (1998).

Robert Schroeder selfbuilt-synthesizer No.2
(ca. 1978)

Still in the same year Robert Schroeder has developed his second modular synthesizer on the basis of the predecessor's model and has built. Then this module system could be also played with a real keyboard.

With these to do-it-yourself construction synthesizers accumulated here Robert Schroeder has also done his music of which Klaus Schulze drew the attention to Roberts music. Also the debut album HARMONIC ASCENDANT was played in predominantly with this equipment.

Robert Schroeder selfbuilt-synthesizer No.3
(ca. 1979)

The third synthesizer of Robert Schroeder was built with a transparent front panel. This device includes an analogue step-sequencer and was lighted colorfully inside. Still today the device exists, however, has taken externally already some damage.

Already under construction one sees in the photo on the right the fourth and last modular do-it-yourself construction synthesizer. Moreover Robert Schröder also wrote his book " Sequencer, a music computer " (Franzi's publishing company, in 1979) which allowed the do-it-yourself construction of such a system.

On top of the synthi no.3 and already under construction one sees the fourth and last selfbuilt modular system. Based on this system Robert Schroeder wrote his book "Sequencer, ein Musikcomputer" (1979), which allowed the do-it-yourself construction of such a system.

Robert Schroeder selfbuilt-synthesizer No.4
(ca. 1979)

The fourth and last from Robert Schroeder developed and built modular synthesizers here in the ready version. It concerned, by the way, one of the first digital systems generally. Still today the device functions.
