  1. What about NI by slashflood · · Score: 5, Informative


    They list Steinberg, but ignored Native Instruments, the producer of Reaktor. Very incomplete.

  2. Theremin! by Random_Goblin · · Score: 4, Informative
    The Theremin Leon Termen Soviet Union 1917


    This looks to be the oldest electronic instrument that is still regarlly used today... of particular note is the artist Goldfrapp who plays a theremin in a MOST provocative manner during her live gigs!

    87 years is quite a respectable age. I can't see a date for electric guitar anywhere on the site.
