Hey listen, I gotta bump this. Why? The dude proposed the MIDI spec, FFS. He was my hero before I had any way to know who he was.

Amen. Sing it bruddah. Only the single coolest synthesizer ever made. I'm gonna get one, dammit. I was hoping that it would be the keyboard, but it looks like I'll have to settle for a rack. But dammit, it will be MINE!space_ryerson wrote:I know this is way off topic, but damn, I want a poly evolver.
oh, and an interview with Dave Smith would be pretty cool too.
Re: an interview. Possible topics:
Creation of the MIDI spec, getting approved in a consortium with other manufacturers, its longevity and possible replacements, feelings thereabout.
Nearly beating everyone else on digital multitrack -- 1987! (Prophet 3002)
First software-only synthesizer, Reality
Feelings about software synthesis now.
Creation of the Prophet 5, widely considered to be the finest analog polyphonic synthesizer.
And of course, creation and marketing of the Evolver, which is currently the coolest synthesizer on the market.
Thoughts about and development of the idea of the Evolvers multiple internal feedback loops, pitched feeback loops, multiple flexible internal gainstaging-points.
Synth-programming in general from the vantage-point of an OG.
I mean, it'd make for a great read.
