The Story of the Prophet VS
Before I got involved with modern modular synthesizers, I worked in the video and film industry. Before that, I designed synths, samplers, software, and digital audio recorders for the likes of Sequential, Digidesign, and Roland. The one I’m probably best known for is my involvement with the Sequential Prophet VS, as for creating what is now known as Vector Synthesis. Here is the story of their birth. Earlier versions are floating around the internet; this one is more complete, and with (hopefully) fewer typos.
