Some scans of the NED Synclavier II brochure and a cool little bit of synth history in via Mike McRoberts. If you remember from this earlier post, Mike was the US Project manager for Akai during the MPC-60 days.
"The best event I ever went to at a trade show was sponsored by NED. It was at AES, and was a private party at the Palladium in NYC. I managed to get a couple of the metal embossed tickets. It seemed like a normal product presentation, until they announced Sting. Sting came out and sang to a track played by the Synclavier. This was right before his first solo album had come out. Then Sting, said. 'Let's bring out Branford Marsalis.' He came out playing a soprano sax. Then Sting, one by one, brought out his new touring band that had supported on the his solo album. It was a great night of new music."
