Had a chance to visit the Sequential office in San Francisco during my 2015 visit there. I came prepared with a bottle of quality Tequila, met Dave and his team and had a great time chatting. I’ve been inspired by his work and overall kindness and he and Roger Linn, Dave Rossum, Don Buhla, Tom Oberheim and Bob Moog will always be role models we can aspire to shape our own lives after. Music technology is a fantastic place to be an engineer in, it’s as much as engineering as is being a creative artist. I felt these guys have been always on the forefront on making it a community experience and inspiring a wide range of artists.
Dave will be sorely missed.
- s1mon 4y agoI had the pleasure of working with Tom Oberheim and Roger Linn, and can corroborate. I wish I had the opportunities to work with the rest of that list. At some level, people go into this business because it's a labor of love. The skills that so many people in the electronic music equipment industry have are worth a lot more outside of music. Electrical engineers (especially the combination of analog and digital), firmware, DSP, etc. are all so valuable in other industries, but the sales numbers in music equipment are nothing like general consumer electronics.
- rumori 4y agoSounds like you are already there. I’m a big fan of Roger Linn as well and have the MPC3000 as my centerpiece. From time to time I do beta testing for eurorack companies, and you cannot imagine how many times I refer to the MPC as being the gold standard for sequencing features, it’s so well thought out. Did you work on the Linnstrument? There’s so much potential still in improving hardware sequencing, I cannot wait to see what he will come up with in his rumored project.
