An electronic musical instrument or electrophone is a musical instrument that produces sound using electronic circuitry.Such an instrument sounds by outputting an electrical, electronic or digital audio signal that ultimately is plugged into a power amplifier which drives a loudspeaker, creating the sound heard by the performer and listener.
Elisha Gray invented the musical telegraph in 1874, producing sound through electromagnetic vibrations. [7] Gray later added a single-note oscillator and a diaphragm-based loudspeaker for audibility. In 1973, the Yamaha GX-1 introduced an early polyphonic synthesizer with eight voices. [8]
