An Interview with John Eaton on Astronauta Pinguim


"It was also in Rome that John Eaton met the electronic engineer Paul Ketoff, inventor of the famous and legendary Syn-Ket [pictured below], in 1964. With the Syn-Ket, John Eaton has conducted more than a thousand presentations around the world and was at one of these presentations, in 1966 at Columbia University, where he met Robert Moog, who fixed the Syn-Ket, damaged during a flight, and also built a synthesizer Moog especially for Eaton! The partnership of John Eaton and Robert Moog also created the Eaton-Moog Multiple-Touch Sensitive Keyboard [left] (which John briefly explained in the interview below)."

You'll find the interview on Austronauta Pinguim in English here and Portuguese here.

Update: I added a Moog-Eaton label below for all posts mentioning John Eaton. Do check it out. You'll find a number of posts including this post with a link to an old video of John Eaton and the Eaton-Moog Multiple-Touch Sensitive Keyboard. You'll find a newer demo towards the bottom of this Animoog post. The virtual keyboard in Animoog is based on the Eaton-Moog Multiple-Touch Sensitive Keyboard.
