		Le Caine's Sackbut, however, used an entirely different method of sound generation and control--voltage control--a method that later became the standard approach in electronic music.
		Because it pioneered this technique, the Sackbut is considered to have been the first synthesizer.
		In designing the Sackbut, Le Caine adapted technologies already familiar in atomic physics, radar, and radio technology, all areas in which he had worked at Queen's University and later as a scientist at the National Research Council (NRC) in Ottawa.

		The musical parameters of the sackbut were controlled using a voltage control method similar to the one used later by Robert Moog and others in the design of modular analog synthesizers.

		The timbre controls of the Sackbut were crucial in establishing the instrument's musical sound.
		That was the basis of the Sackbut's advanced timbre controls and its touch-sensitive keyboard, and it was a central feature in many of Le Caine's later models.
