A legend of the synthesizers kindly gave us an in-depth interview on his career and companies. Rest in Peach Dave Smith. Thank you! For more expert Q&A's: gearspace.com/...
Thanks for uploading this interview. I'm the happy owner of a P-12; Pro 2; OB-6 desktop and Tempest. It's bittersweet for me to cast my mind over the last 20 years of synth collecting, and to remember the passing of the Wizard, but I'll keep these instruments for life, and hopefully one day I'll add a few more synths from this legendary company.
Such sad news when Dave passed. Thank you for releasing this, among the latest in-depth interviews he gave. When he talks (at 14:50-15:45) about the PRO 3, I can’t help but think that the covid & lockdown bad timing probably hindered the way that particular synth was received by the general public. I believe it will go down as one of Dave’s finest addition to the Pro legacy. At 72 he can’t hide his excitement about designing, creating, interacting with musicians & synth nerds, going to Superbooth. This NAMM won’t be the same without him. So long, Dave, and thanks for all the synths.
Still loving my Prophet 6. Awesome guy Dave Smith is and has an amazing ear for audio production. Thanks for all you do. Us audiophiles truly do appreciate it.
This video today is haunting and amazing at the same time. What a brilliant, strong, insightful, experienced pioneer he is. RIP Dave. I'm shocked at your passing, and in awe of your legacy.
God rest ye, merry gentleman. Such a massive legacy. My late brother bought a Prophet-5 from Dave in 1980. $5k. Whew. I had it in y possession in the late 80s for several years. His widow has it and I know it has need of repair. I need to go fetch that beast and get it refurbished. Nothing like it!
Hard to believe this was just days before his passing. What an absolute legend and life inspiration. I can only hope to be doing as much and looking as great as him at that age. RIP Dave.
While obviously unintentional at the time seeing Dave talk about his work with a backdrop of people talking about synths, while he's underscored by the occasional electronic sound, is genuinely beautiful to see. He was surrounded by his legacy at the end and it's one that will last a very long time.
R.I.P. Sending my condolences out to his family and those who worked close with him. I didn't see this comming since he always seemed to vibrant and clear in all of his interviews :(
Legend! I will miss this guy. He was ground breaking with the inventions and innovations he did in the synth world. I think I heard in the background someone trying some Depeche Mode, Just Can't Get Enough. Was this one of the last video interviews prior to his passing?
Dave Smith's last cameo appearance. Dave has died. I can't believe it. It's true though, very sadly. Here he is with Marcus Ryle at Superbooth. R.I.P Dave Smith the legend.❤ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6YFgp71CgBA.htmlm00s
