For this oral history, I’d like to begin by capturing your back history. Would you mind telling us when and where you were born, and how audio entered your life? Tom Oberheim: I was born in Manhattan, Kansas— home of Kansas State University. Although it was Kansas State College when I was there. I was born in that town and raised— and went to school there and went right on to the Kansas State. In 1956 I got the bug to leave town for a while and met some people in Wichita and moved to California and arrived in California in July of ’56 with $10 in my pocket and a broken down car and that’s where I started. The first few months I just worked at a— at an aircraft company that needed somebody in their dark room because I had worked in a camera shop when I was in high school.

  • Dave Rossum Interview (By Jay Lee in Polyphony Magazine November/December 1981)
    Dave Rossum Interview (by Jay Lee in Polyphony Magazine November/December 1981) This month's interview is with Dave Rossum of E-mu Systems Inc. Jay sent the following introductory comments along with the interview. "My first encounter with Dave Rossum was over the telephone some nine years ago, when he prevented me from purchasing sight unseen thousands of dollars of E-mu equipment. Dave instead encouraged me to purchase a few submodules and test them out. I did and I was hooked. Dave is an original. His first E-mu modular system has set the standard by which all other modular systems will be judged. Brilliant and witty, Dave is a new breed of electronic music pioneer whose contribution to the design of equipment for other manufacturers may have shaped the nature of the synthesizer as much as did Robert Moog's original thinking. Jay Lee: Isn't it true that your formal training was as a biologist? Dave Rossum: Yes, that's pretty much true. I did my undergraduate work at Cal Tech in Pasadena starting out as a chemist, then changed to physics, and then (about the end of my sophomore year) changed again to biology because it seemed that the neatest people were in biology. In the end it didn't really matter what I studied; I guess my career shows that. I graduated in 1970 with a Bachelor of Science in biology, and went to University of California at Santa Cruz for graduate school. JL: Who, or what, changed the direction of your career? DR: At U.

    Book Recommendation: The Prophet from Silicon Valley The story of Sequential Circuits, the leading synthesizer manufacturer of the 1980s. One of the great American synthesizer companies, founded and led by San Francisco electronics and computer graduate, Dave Smith, Sequential Circuits Inc. paved the way for music of the future. Smith brought easy, affordable and powerful polyphonic synthesis to all levels of music production in the form of the ground-breaking Prophet-5 synthesizer. Released in 1978, the Prophet led the new wave movement into the next decade, creating a sonically exciting soundtrack to eighties culture. It expanded the palette of all music genres and was embraced by professionals and amateurs alike. Particularly revealing is that map showing how many of the American synth companies were (and still are) concentrated in or around San Francisco: Sequential, EMU, Roger Linn Designs, Buchla, Tom Oberheim, SSM, CEM … | 1 Book Recommendation: The Prophet from Silicon Valley The book features many exclusive and highly entertaining and informative stories from ex-Sequential staff, music industry moguls, and famous keyboard players.
