Who’s Next
So it was the early to mid 1980′s…synth fever was everywhere. I started to notice that NY studio control rooms were starting to resemble the keyboard section of Manny’s Music on 48th Street.
All of the major players (Moog,Oberheim,Sequential) were expanding their lines,making them smaller (Pro 1) and bigger (Prophet 10). There were contenders for “Top Drum Machine/Sequencer”..models by Alesis,EMU and Linn/Akai…and the last one standing is Roger Linn’s venerable MPC line (more on this later). The great thing was that it was possible to try out all of this cool stuff at the studios before actually buying any of it.
And of course,there was Roland……
