1988.01 Sequential becomes Yamaha/DSD. – Product Planner.Product Planner Computer Music Instruments. YAMAHA/DSD Contributed Wavestation Wavesequencing (via Schottstaedt) and User Interface and a variety of sampling synthesizers and disk audio recording systems. They didn’t want the Prophet-3000. They did want the Wavestation, expecting it to be the next “FM.”
This code was for non-realtime software synthesis in Pla at CCRMA’s Sambox. Output was at least the tape used in Inner Film/Earth Sighs generated by this score. I explain he process more fully in the Keyboard article about CCRMA that followed.
In this session I met the remarkable Bill Scottstaedt, who guided my coding and from whom I also picked up wavesequencing and traveling loops (“Leviathin”) for Sequential; he former essentially creating the Wavestation.
