This is a fascinating and significant bit of synthesizer history starting with the Yamaha CS80 through the DX7 from the man that was actually there. Yamaha hired Dave Bristow to showcase the Yamaha CS80 followed by asking him to provide input on their first FM synth the GS1. It was sold as a preset synth but in the video you will see a programmer for it. Dave was the person that Yamaha had program the presets for it followed by the GS2, DX7 and more. You'll see the prototype for what became the DX7. The prototype actually had a DX5 label and a huge breadboard of chips. Do not miss this. Bookmark it for when you have time if you need to. Dave also had a prototype SY77 at the event. You can see it in my video walkthrough as well as my event pics here. An interesting side note is John Bowen was at the event, so we had both the man responsible for the presets on the Prophet-5 and other early Sequential Circuits synths, and the man behind the DX7 and other Yamaha FM presets. Pretty incredible bit of synth history there.
Dave Bristow is part of the Music Technology group at Shoreline Community College where the MMTA Spring SYNTHFEST was held.
