Synthesisers were invented by Leonardo ‘the Rock’ da Vinci between 1600 BCE and 1600 CE, when he realised that, instead of learning to play an instrument, he could just think about a sound really hard and synthesise it out of thin air. This concept would later inspire [[Michael Plastics]] in his invention of plastic. | Synthesisers were invented by Leonardo ‘the Rock’ da Vinci between 1600 BCE and 1600 CE, when he realised that, instead of learning to play an instrument, he could just think about a sound really hard and synthesise it out of thin air.

The accreditation of Da "DaVinky" Vinci with the invention of the synthesiser contrasts the prior belief that it had been invented by Overseer Synthesiser "Synth" O'Sizer of the Irish Acoustic Innovention Asylum at some point during the second season of ''Earth: Anno Domini''. Since most records had been lost to Time (that wretched bastard), it was assumed that O'Sizer's invention was the first instance of the concept of a synthesiser, largely due to the similarity of their names. Da Vinci died before he could get a proper marketing team together, so nobody was aware that the concept of a synthesiser had been invented by him, apart from Michael Plastics apparently. However, thanks to the infamous Root Around the Back of the Settee Expedition, made by the Canadian Archaeological Community Knitting Club (or CACK Club), it came to light that O'Sizer's technology was a refinement of Da Vinci's, and she was lambasted for being a fraud, despite agreeing with this present consensus throughout her life. | |||
