It would have been amazing to be a fly on the wall when guys like Stevie Wonder and Weather Report were using this to make their albums in the 70's. This is an absolute incredible piece of music history. I'm glad it's been preserved.

"From the front, it's got to be playable and from the back it's got to be <i>serviceable.</i> H"ow true. I gave up trying to create an amalgam of Arp 2600, Roland System 100, a row of PAIA modules and "keyboard." when it started to look like an Escher print... Great job, sir. , Respect, Rest In Passion, you'd be bored with 'peace'...

Until I actually saw someone standing right up next to Tonto, I thought it looked much taller than it actually was.

So sad to hear that he left us today. BTW, this video is very interesting, but the sound of the synth itself is way too low in the mix. I can hardly hear it!

The electronic Stonehenge. Long may it produce glorious new sounds.

Airways knew the synths, but never knew the man who put it all together. I'm sorry to learn of him by his "passing".<br><br>Sympathy to everybody who feels this loss

RIP Malcolm. Thank you for helping to create the sonic landscape of my childhood and for managing to not only craft amazing music technology, but for building the relationship with perhaps the greatest creator of music using those tools. Much appreciated.

I knew Malcomb quite well and he was always a joy to work with. I miss him.
