The [[VCS3]] is an analogue synthesizer which Delia used at [[Unit Delta Plus]] and eventually also at the [[BBC Radiophonic Workshop]].
  
The CDD/1/2/3 numbers are the catalogue numbers for the tapes proposed in Appendix 2 of [[James Percival's thesis]]. Presumably, these should eventually be used in [http://archives.li.man.ac.uk/ead/html/gb133dda-p6.shtml#id3936767 the John Rylands library catalogue].

It wasn’t until 1965 that the Workshop bought its first synthesiser from Electronic Musical Instruments (London) Limited, more commonly known as EMS. This was the VCS3, an unassuming little machine consisting of a box with two sloping panels and a plug-in keyboard. Another version, the Synthi A or Suitcase, was similar to the VCS3, but as its name implies, it was built into a suitcase, making it very convenient for Radiophonic talks and demonstrations.

 +
Although compact, the VCS3 contained three voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), a ring modulator, a voltage-controlled filter (VCF) that could be made to oscillate, an envelope shaper, reverberation from an an inbuilt spring, a white noise generator and a joystick controller. External devices were accommodated by two controllable audio inputs and outputs, with filters. In addition, a 16 by 16 pin-actuated matrix provided for connections between all of the audio and voltage-control elements.<ref>[http://whitefiles.org/rws/r03.htm ''Voltage Control, 1965-1975: EMS VCS3''] on whitefiles.org</ref>

Delia used at least two models:

* she owned a [[VCS3 Synthi]], a beautiful early model with duck egg white coloured panels<ref>Personal communication, 16th March 2012.</ref> which she ultimately gave to [[Pete Kember]]. She used to take it to the [[BBC Radiophonic Workshop]] until they bought one.

VCS3 Synthi
EMS Synthi 100

The VCS3 is an analogue synthesizer which Delia used at Unit Delta Plus and eventually also at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop.

It wasn’t until 1965 that the Workshop bought its first synthesiser from Electronic Musical Instruments (London) Limited, more commonly known as EMS. This was the VCS3, an unassuming little machine consisting of a box with two sloping panels and a plug-in keyboard. Another version, the Synthi A or Suitcase, was similar to the VCS3, but as its name implies, it was built into a suitcase, making it very convenient for Radiophonic talks and demonstrations.

Although compact, the VCS3 contained three voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), a ring modulator, a voltage-controlled filter (VCF) that could be made to oscillate, an envelope shaper, reverberation from an an inbuilt spring, a white noise generator and a joystick controller. External devices were accommodated by two controllable audio inputs and outputs, with filters. In addition, a 16 by 16 pin-actuated matrix provided for connections between all of the audio and voltage-control elements.[1]

Delia used at least two models:
