Very sad news.
I have written the following over on Yamaha Musicians, so I won’t repeat it here
And tonight, I will be firing on my Sequential Prophet X in memoriam to the genius of Dave.
That’s sad
Another hero sadly gone.
But what an amazing array of musical hardware he has left us.
RIP Dave.
I did have a little time in my studio last night, and the Prophet X and Wavestate (remember Dave invented Vector Synthesis in the Prophet VS and helped developed the original Wave Sequencing concept) had an outing helped by a new Wavestate library I needed to try out, with the Prophet doing one of my favourite sounds and It was instant cosmic Vangelis (in memory of that giant as well).
I need a few rainy days now to get into the studio to develop that and record it!
BTW if your never read it, the following is a great book that traces Dave’s history at Sequential Circuits.
And this was Dave’s last interview with Gearspace at Superbooth only a few weeks back.
