>While everything you say is conceivable it just doesn't seem likely. It
made sense that you knew about it, but then you were devouring local
magazines because of your interests.<
As I mentioned, John McLaughlin used EML, so I don't think it was impossible
for other Brits to know about, obtain, and use, especially those that may
have had access to the leading muso mags like Contemporary Keyboard.
The company didn't have strong marketing or PR; they never much publicized
who used their products. I only learned about John McLaughlin from EML
people directly--I think it was Jonn Serrie, EML's synthesist-in-residence
for a few years, who told me. The company was founded and run by
techno-geeks like Dale Blake and Norm Maillard (who left to found Synare).
They had a director of marketing, John Mozzi, for a while in the mid 70s. I
bumped into him again a few years ago when he was a sales engineer for Akai
in Los Angeles. After he left, as I recall, Dale Blake partially absorbed
the marketing functions--which meant not much was done.
>Actually what was the release date on the 400? 1978? (from Vintage
Synth Explorer)<
I first saw it in 1976. I think it appeared in their ads for at least a year
or so before then.
