THE INVENTORS OF SYNTH (ROGER LINN, DAVE SMITH 6 TOM OBERHEIM)
"Legendary synth designer and Grammy-winner Dave Smith was the founder of Sequential Circuits in the mid-'70s."
"A pioneer of the synth and MIDI world, Tom Oberheim co-designed the Synthesizer Expansion Module (SEM), a device that allowed musicians to simultaneously combine live playing and sequenced playback - a concept that pre-dated the MIDI revolution."
"Technical Grammy award-winner Roger Linn invented the LM-1 Drum Computer (the first sample-based drum machine) in 1979. He later designed the Akai MPC60, which combined a sampling drum machine with a real-time MIDI sequencer."
