Here's a interesting bit of synth history. If anyone out there knows more about this, please let us know! You can find a handful of posts featuring Don Muro in the archives here.

"Original boxed lesson plan for college level introduction on synthesizers. Complete with film strip, record to accompany film strip, teachers guide book, 32 original copies of the test, pamphlet from 1978 Don Muro workshop , 2 copies of products and services and original box. There is a spot for a cassette inside box however my research makes me feel you could specify record or cassette versions. There is no cassette present.

The record and filmstrip appear to be in un used condition. Very unique piece as i have collected this stuff my whole life and never seen another."

Korg 05R/W rock demo (1995) - Don Muro

Published on Mar 28, 2020 jd wall

“A basic rock groove recorded live in 20 minutes (just before lunch) during a sequencing seminar. One take for each track - hence the improvised and organic quality (loose time and clams). All sounds produced by the 05R/W. Repeated with the solo track muted so that participants could practice pitch bend techniques.

A brief sonic diversion for these dark days.

Cheers,
Don M”
