Instrumental Innovators - Dave Smith: Synthesizer Pioneer - DVD


"Dave Smith founded Sequential Circuits in the mid-70s, and in 1977 he designed the Prohet-5 - the world's first microprocessor-based musical instrument and first completely programmable and polyphonic synth, which set the standard for all synth designs that have followed. In the last few years Dave has returned to the hardware instruments with the Evolver and Poly Evolver synths, which combine real analog electronics with digital processing to create yet another new world of unique instruments. This DVD includes a 90 minute complete history of Dave Smith from Prophet to MIDI to the PolyEvolver and roundtable discussion with Dave Smith, Roger Linn and Tom Oberheim."

Available at Dave Smith Instruments.

    If true, that is NOT cool. I'll follow up with brian and find out where he got this. In the mean time I updated the title link with the order page on the DSI site, so anyone reading this, that link is good. Sincerest apologies for this, but I put up what comes in and that site looked legit to me.
