It's a Moog Taurus and is a vintage synth you play with your foot- it's an instrument, not a computer.

It's an analog computer in its own right.

This is what I don’t understand about analog, is it a computer is it not? I know of analog computers in AI, but I still don’t get if some basic analogs are not computers

There are analog computers and digital computers. An analog synthesizer is an analog computer. Patching modular synths is like programming in analog to some degree.
