We don't have the or a/an in the Finnish language
Anyone remember the band The The? Probably not in Finland. ;-)

Nice improvements.
This may seem like nitpicking, but the Timeline of additive synthesizers
section seems to choose keeping the instrument name as the start of the sentence over
proper grammar. For instance:
Hammond organ, invented in 1934[26], is
I'd like to say well done to everyone who has edited this so far, it looks
massively better :)

No, it was my doing that the paragraphs had the synth name as their
first word(s). We don't have the or a/an in the Finnish language,
so I'm not always sure if they are needed, like in front of names (of
synthesizers) here. But I'm going to claim that most of that text
looked even worse before.
I agree Olli—it was much worst before—the article was painful to read. (And as
I said, this is nitpicking.)
There's nothing wrong with have just the name first—it just needs a bit of
change to keep it that way and make it grammatically correct. I didn't change
it right away when I read it
hey, i appreciate the help from folks here (namely Olli and Ross)

Hi Tom,
The wikipedia entry was:
Very similar to C and C++, but the ''while loop'' could also have been written
on one line:
As I said, this implies that that it couldn't be done in one line in C/C++, and
it can. So, I'd say that the original writer was incorrect.
And again, so you think

I would say, in fact, that the Synergy was _primarily_ an FM machine. One of

I've long treated wikipedia as a useful tool that I reference often, and trust
about as far as I can throw the internet.
That is, it's good for getting a quick look at many things, as long as you
understand that anything that has the slightest chance of involving a point of
view will be bias,
Ah, that (the RMI using Walsh functions) sounds familiar...I remember Bernie
Hutchins (Electronotes) did some articles back in the 70's on Walsh
functions...it also reminds me of having fun back in the 70's when I figured
out I could run my analog sequencers at audio rates and get some cool
Hi Robert,
Care to narrow down the target (I suppose there are multiple, but maybe start
with the one or two of most immediate concern)?
I looked at it a bit, and it's a lot to juggle, looking at diffs and the back
and forth. Maybe it's just getting late, and I played a lot of basketball
Wouldn't it be nice if all of the knowledge embodied in this list could find
its way into Wikipedia, fixing the howlers and myths that exist in some of the
audio, synthesis, effects, computer music, etc pages? I know that some of us
have at time contributed, but it would be a nice community
