via the Santa Clara Vanguard:"Ed worked for E-MU and was a key contributor to their growth into America's premier producer of innovative electronic musical instruments. Ed was personally involved in the conceptualization and development of technologies and instruments that literally revolutionized the way that music is created by both professionals and amateurs around the world. The legacy of those accomplishments lives on today and will do so for years to come."
via the E-Mu Corporate History page:
"It was April of 1973 when the first E-MU modular synthesizer was sold to future Director of Manufacturing Ed Rudnick, who had started hanging around E-MU looking for a job so he could learn how to design and build synthesizers. E-MU spent most of the 1970's designing ultrastable VCOs, lab-quality filters, digital/analog sequencers, dedicated music ICs, and polyphonic voltage control keyboards."
Thank you for posting this.
ReplyDeleteI had the privilege of working with Ed Rudnick at E-MU from 2003 to 2007. On a personal level he was really supportive during my time there, both my technical work and my dry sense of humor. And I have since learned through personal stories that he was very welcoming to newcomers for 30 years. He was very much loved by all of us at E-MU, and definitely missed. `
