[sdiy] AES meeting

[Tim Parkhurst]

Hey Guys and Gals,

I know this is kind of short notice, but if you live in the San Francisco /
San Jose area you might want to attend the AES meeting tonight. Dave Smith
is giving a talk and showing off the Evolver. Say HI if you have a second.
I'll be the short guy with the beard. ;) Okay, so there'll be 50 other short
guys with beards... I'll put a sticky or a badge on that says 'sdiy.'

       San Francisco Section
       January 2003 Meeting Notice

              Time and Date:  Jan 28th, 7:30 PM (refreshments at 7:00 PM)


       Dave Smith founded Sequential Circuits in the mid-70s, and in 1977
he designed the Prophet-5, the world's first microprocessor-based
musical instrument and first fully programmable and polyphonic synth.
Dave is also generally known as the driving force behind the generation
of the MIDI specification in 1981. In 1987 he was named a Fellow of the
Audio Engineering Society (AES) for his continuing work in the area of 
music synthesis. After Sequential, Dave was President of DSD, Inc, an 
R&D division of Yamaha, where he worked on physical modeling synthesis 
and software synthesizer concepts.  He then started the Korg R&D group 
in California in 1989, which went on to produce the Wavestation synths 
and other technology.  Next, as President at Seer Systems he developed 
the world's first software based synthesizer running on a PC. This 
synth, commissioned by Intel, was demonstrated by Andy Grove in a Comdex 
keynote speech in 1994. Over 15 million of his second-generation 
software synth have been sold, which was licensed to Creative Labs in 
1996. The third generation is the world's first first professional 
software synthesizer, Reality, released in 1997. Dave has now returned 
to hardware with the release of the Evolver synthesizer from his new 
company, Dave Smith Instruments.
