Thank you for such a beautiful tribute to my dad <3

Rest in Peace Dave.
A true synth wizard and legend. My interest in synthesizers wouldn't have happened if the Prophet 5 never happened.

Thank you for making this video and uploading it. We are losing the inventors and artists of the late 70's and 80's each month. If anyone reading this knows an artist or inventor who made early, electronic music... no matter how big or small... get their thoughts and memories recorded. You never know how much time they have left, and who they may inspire in the future because you took the time to ask them to tell about their experiences. With how accessible cameras are these days and how easy it is to share, there is no excuse when someone musical passes away and there remain many questions unasked of them.

A true Prophet of Synthesis. RIP Dave.

Dave’s passing was a real heart-breaker. Dave was a hero of mine, as I’m sure many others.

The loss cannot be measured

Rest in peace and PWM.
Thank you, Dave, for all you've added to my life.

Making it seem so simple while creating some of the more unique and influential ""machines with a soul"" of this kind is certainly a mark of a genius, nothing less than that. Awesome man and engineer. RIP Dave Smith

So great to see some more recent footage of Dave! It's really nice that you folks put this video together and included clips from his friends and colleagues. DSI / Sequential hosted my wife and I at their studio / office and I had my Tempest along and placed it on his desk while we were there, so as to "touch the monolith".  Afterwards, we went across to Tony Nik's where Dave and Tom filmed the promo video for the OB-6 and I asked to bartender to make me one of Dave's usual drinks, with tequila of course.  I'm so very sad that he passed away.  It's still hard to comprehend. But we've still got him with us through the legacy of his work and instruments. I have nine synthesizers in my studio and each of them all say "Dave Smith Instruments" on them, all before the switch to Sequential.  So he's all I got...    He designed the sounds that I love to use in my music and has done it in such a way, that it is always a lot of fun and keeps me inspired for more.  Really glad to see this footage from you guys.  Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

Absolutely gutted by this unfortunate news, wonderful memorial you gents put together for Dave.

Thanks to Sam and Syntaur to make this video. You will be missed Dave, thanks for all the things you gave us.

Thanks for taking the time to put this together. I'm sure it was a labor of love, but I think it also took a bit of resolve to push through the unhappiness that may have welled up when making this content. Still, you've given your audience such a lovely tribute to Dave Smith and so I express my gratitude for these efforts - RIP Dave Smith

Dave Smith was a genius and a legend will be greatly missed. It has been an emotional rollercoaster going from the joy and excitement of the introduction of the OB-X8, the latest fruit of Dave's wonderful collaboration with Tom Oberheim to the sudden and stunning news that we have lost Dave.  It was also nice to see that Dave's profound love and respect for Tom and Kakehashi-San was pointed out. Thank you, Sam and Syntaur for such a moving tribute.

He is in synth heaven.😢😢😢😢😢🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

Fantastic tribute to the man. RIP Dave!

A legend has passed but never will be forgotten. Thank you Sam for this tribute.

22:04  "The whole MIDI thing" as he waves his hand and says it was a "one shot thing." One of the greatest inventions in the history of music and something that without, I simply would not have been able to produce the kind of music and do the kinds of things I do today without MIDI. My first synthesizer was a Six Trak. My first Drum Machine a Sequential Circuits TOM, my first MIDI interface was the C64 interface for a commodore 64. My first proper music computer, an Atari ST, had MIDI ports built in. I cannot imagine my creative life without Dave Smith and his "one off." He was truly the shining star of inventors in the music industry. What an incredible, humble guy. It hurts to see the great ones pass on.

What a wonderful person and what a loss to us all that he's gone.

I was just at Sequential last week, and I'm happy to say that everyone there was extremely welcoming, and sweet--they are continuing in his spirit. One of the employees told me Dave was the best boss he ever had, and I believed him.

What a wonderful tribute.
More people should see this.
