THIS IS THE BIGGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT NEWS OF THIS NAMM EDITION 🙏. Thnx David for your immense contribution to music with your legendary Chips, hope u will bring back all the vintage CEM and SSM seeing the speculative prices so we will be able to maintain vintage gears for decades, maybe some serious Clones of Roland Chips too would be amazing as roland don’t intend to go back to their roots ever.
This video exemplifies exactly what I love about TH-cam: someone talks about something that isn't necessarily something that directly interests me at the detail level it is discussed, but it is a display such a passion and enthusiasm, and I just love watching it. And with the added bonus it is in essence about creativity and someone's own creative passion leading to inspire others to be creative. That is, in a nutshell, what creativity at its best is all about.
Dave is such an awesome guy! Had the pleasure of talking to him and Dan Parks at NAMM this year and learning about the sound semiconductor lineup. His knowledge and personality is as top notch as their chips and documentation. So happy they are making these classic and new chips in modern SMT packages for modern designs. I've already prototyped with many of their chips and they are sounding excellent! Also glad I got to meet a legend in the synth world! A highlight of all my NAMM experiences.
As someone who grew up on hip hop and still makes boom bap beats, we owe an immense amount of gratitude to Dave and his SP1200 creation. We may not have had some of the greatest albums of the late 80s and 90s had it not been for that machine 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I think by far the most legendary, genius in electronic music history: even the original SEM features things from Dave . Of course then SSM filters everywhere and just a little very insignificant things like the Emulator 1 , II, III, IIIX , IV , 4 platinum, , SP 12, SP 1200 , Morpheus , even proteus 1 one ahead of his time , and all the modules at Rossum Electro-MUsic . THE BEST OF ALL FOREVER
A legendary man still bringing the most valuable resources for synth industry. Dave was one of the few that really made a fundamental impact on synthesizers design
He is such a nice, down to earth person. I talked to him at his booth at a few different synth gear expos. Despite his deep history in synths he was always willing to patiently explain his products. And was pretty fun to talk to as well.
Nice informative interview. Thanks, Dave...for everything. In view of how hard it is to find SSM2040 filter chips, and how pricey they are if you *do* find them, the most critical question to be asked, for Prophet 5 owners, is the one you never asked Dave: Will this 2140 chip be pin-compatible with the SSM2040, so that Prophet, or other synth owners experiencing a burnout can buy one and just pop it in to resurrect their synth?
Any interview I watch of Dave makes me so happy. What a genuine human being

Dave is personally responsible for many of the most important technologies that enabled modern synthesis and music, it’s amazing

WOW.. can't wait to hear them 🤓
Legend!! Dave has had a significant impact on synth development over the years 🙏🏻🎹🙌
Man, Dave is a National treasure!
Hope you have a video on Rossum Electro-Music Locutus coming! Only NAMM thing I'm excited about and the internet has nothing...
Rossum electro weren't actually displaying at NAMM this year unfortunately....
Haven't heard of it, what is Locutus?
absolute legend!

Not pin compatible, as this IC is in a different package, SMD instead of DIP. But there are adapter PCB’s that make it pin compatible.
Rossum is a happy guy.
Do any of you know any module which is using that new oscillator chip already?
legend !!!
So much so noice much love yay!
Synthsational!!!
Are these the new filters that are in the 3rd Wave Synthesizer?
Synth Sensei 🎹
Dave if you see this, could you please send me a sp1200? i am too poor to afford one and i feel like they were made for people like me.
