1 life goal down!

Saturday at the NAMM show in California i got to meet, talk to, and shake the hand of the father (and more or less inventor) of midi; Brainchild of the Prophet; and overall synth genius Dave Smith (Head of sequential circuts) It was a great honor to meet a man who has pioneered soo much that is very down to earth and humble

Still shaking!

Did he chat with you using MIDI controller messages?

MIDI's come a long way and it took a lot of vision to pull that off. Even with all the changes in technology MIDI still sticks because it turns out it's quite an efficient protocol. We have a fair amount to thank Dave Smith for his work on this technology. And it's made the transition from analog to digital that much more seamless.

I'd love to meet the people who invented the initial VST and DSP technologies. You'd have to know a lot of math like real-time Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) to have a chat with them though - still it's the magic behind virtual instruments.

yeah, beleive it or not the new korg firewire mixer. The shit is hot. 4 channels all bussed through fire with ableton allready mapped with an array of bad ass efx and a kaos pad onboard. Imagine a zone 3d but for under 1,000 bucks shit is gonna be HOT!!!

and the mixer feels solid, the crossfaders and such feel tight!

I thought this thread was going to be about growing a 30" rat tail.

Man. Very cool.

Should have given you my Prophet 2000 to see if he could fix it. Fucker's broke.

Any ideas where I could take it?

Hahahaha, Those are used to trasmit rave based messages 0-126. My understanding is that they left those pins blank to acomidate for future protocols but have still not found any limitations to the current.

He's much too busy collaborating with roger linn on the analog drum machine they will release next year called the "Boom Chic" to fix youe prophet. Try audio electronics in dallas or there is a guy named eli in austin that does a great job on vintage synths

WHAT A FREAKING AWESOME NAME FOR A DRUM MACHINE!!!!

that's effin cool sean. I am a Sequential Circuits nut, had all their classics at one time or another... a few of you guys see me sporting my bootleg SCI tee when I go out sometimes. my brother was lucky enough to meet both Roger Linn and Dave Smith a couple years back when he was first setting up trade shows for M-Audio... the fucker also got to meet Gerhard Behles (formerly of Monolake now CEO and founder of Ableton). yes I too want that new Smith and Linn drum machine... been waiting for drum machines to make a come back... I am sure it will be as cool as the MPC 2000 was when it first came out.
