Our Purpose

As a lot of synthesizers begin showing their age, our goal is to provide accurate and usable references of those synths. While research started many years earlier, SynthArk was established in 2009 as a means to preserve synthesizer heritage via hands-on research, documentation and sampling.

This site is dedicated to the memory of Tim Smith of Weyer/Smith Labs and the Audio Clinic (see Keyboard Feb 1994 issue), for his guidance, inspiration and sparking interest in this project.
