===Integrated synthesizers===

In 1970, Moog designed the [[Minimoog]], a non-modular synthesizer with a built-in keyboard. The analogue circuits were interconnected with switches in a simplified arrangement called "normalization." Though less flexible than a modular design, normalization made the instrument more portable and easier to use. The [[Minimoog]] sold 12,000 units.<ref>{{Citation

It has become celebrated for its "fat" sound&mdash;and its tuning problems. Miniaturized solid-state components allowed synthesizers to become self-contained, portable instruments that soon appeared in live performance and quickly became widely used in popular music and electronic art music.<ref name="montanaro">{{cite web |last      = Montanaro |first      = Larisa Katherine |title      = A Singer's Guide to Performing Works for Voice and Electronics, PhD thesis Doctor of Musical Arts |url      = http://www.lib.utexas.edu/etd/d/2004/montanarolk042/montanarolk042.pdf |publisher      = The University of Texas at Austin |date      = May 2004 |quote      = In 1969, a portable version of the studio Moog, called the Minimoog, became the  most widely used synthesizer in both popular music and electronic art music |access-date      = 2008-06-28 |archive-url      = https://web.archive.org/web/20080911010735/http://www.lib.utexas.edu/etd/d/2004/montanarolk042/montanarolk042.pdf |archive-date      = 2008-09-11 |url-status      = dead }}</ref>
