Interview with Ralph Dyck, Godfather of the Roland MC-8

via Pea Hicks

"Recently I’ve been in touch with Ralph Dyck, the man responsible for cobbling together a home-brew sequencer that eventually served as the basis for the design of the Roland MC-8. I’ll be posting lots of photos, music and technical documents that Ralph has been very generously emailing me. This is all very important stuff in the history of programmable sequencers. First off, we’ll start with a brief email interview. All photos are provided by Ralph Dyck, all music is copyright Ralph Dyck and registered by SOCAN Canada."

You can find the full interview on the Roland MC-8 Micro-Composer blog here. Check out the DIY modular.
