“…we are able to vastly increase the power and pitch range; obtain crescendos and diminuendos impossible with conventional instruments; divide the scaling into an infinite number of parts; obtain any degree of glissando or sliding scale; form completely new tone colors; supply echo or reverberation to any required extent and vary this at any instant as may be needed; produce arpeggios or similar progressions at a greater rate than is possible by human agency; and certainly in some cases, make the technique of playing a particular instrument very much easier” (6).
Alan Douglas, Electronic Music Production (1974)
