A Few User Tributes to Dave Smith

I have a search on Sequential that brings up daily videos. The following are some of what went up today. I thought I'd share them. One thing to remember is Dave brought us MIDI. His influence extends beyond Sequential. I thought it was fitting that someone made a tribute to that. Note some of these are tributes and some aren't. I got a kick out of the kids playing below. It's a reminder that his instruments will touch generations to come. P.S. a big part of this site is sharing what end users are doing out there with the gear we love. This post is a snapshot of some of what went up today.

First a beautiful tribute by lucafrancinimusic:

"My humble tribute to Dave Smith. I don't know how many times I've printed a track from Rev2, especially when making retrowave sci-fi music; this synth has a special place in my heart. Sad news."

Sequential Circuit - Another Tribute

"We have lost yet another synth pioneer but this time a founding father of synth technology, Dave Smith. Maybe not a familiar name to many but without his developments, including the 'Musical Instrument Digital Interface' (MIDI), electronic music would have been very different today and nowhere near as popular. Here is my tribute, using MIDI and various synths, on my iPad."
