The story of how I got started in music and synths - and how I permanently destroyed my hearing!
I've been working with synthesizers for well over 30 years. Today's episode is a bit different: I describe how I came up in the world of music, talk about my career as a professional club DJ, and then describe how I managed to permanently destroy my hearing, how it affects me today, and how I adapt.

In this video I describe the mechanical and electrical design behind the keybeds in our synths. I take one apart to show the inner workings, then demonstrate channel and polyphonic aftertouch, showing the mechanism inside the keybed that makes each of these function. Lastly, I talk about the various types of problems and failures we commonly see in our keybeds, how to identify them, what causes them, and how to fix them.
