Yamaha Acquires Sequential

By Stanley JungleibNo Comments

1987.12 Prophet-3000 Hard Disk Spec. Nice system. Never happened.

Just after completing the Prophet 3000 – its last hurrah– Sequential Engineering transcended this reality in the spaceship DSD, and roamed corporate etherspace in search of VLSI voice chips, digital filters, and high resolution DACs. Their journey took them deep into the creative vacuums of corporate politics. Not until it re-materialized in April of 89 as KORG R&D did it actually have access to the digital voicing technology enabling a new vector synthesizer to be created.

“You deserve to be proud of your article. It’s a fine piece of work. You’ve also done a great service to CCRMA. I just hope we can sustain the increased interest which is likely to result. Once again, nice work! It was a real treat to see CCRMA through your eyes.”— Julius O Smith

The truth is Ted Greenwald rewrote and enlivened a lot of it for their audience; something for which he later apologized through an intermediary whom I assured it was no problem. I didn’t mind what he did at all. It was good, purposeful editing. I was pleased to give Bill Schottstaedt more exposure; which he nevertheless eschews.
