Hier mal eine kurze Info über John Price, der Mann hinter der Nachentwicklung des DS-80:
Meet our Tribers. Today, we’d like you to meet John Price, who is considered one of the world’s best analog designers. John has over 40 years of industry experience under his belt and worked together with industry legends such as Rupert Neve etc.
John is reading here (auf Facebook) and perhaps you want to send him some love.
But let’s hear from the man himself.
“From the age of eleven, I really enjoyed listening to music, which developed into an obsession with high quality hi-fi systems. Back then I did not have that much money to spend on equipment, but I was very practical, so I built my own speakers and amps etc.
When I left college, I wanted a job with a hi-fi equipment manufacturer, but did not find anything in my area. So I ended up joining a small pro audio company called Formula Sound, who were located above Strawberry studios in Stockport. During my time there I was assembling graphic equalisers etc. and I also did a little testing.
I learnt a lot there, however the pay was very low, so after a year I looked around and found a job at Amek, who designed and manufactured mixing consoles of various types.
When I started at Amek in 1979 I was assembling PCB’s and wiring large studio consoles. After a while I began testing power supplies and modules, and a little later the main design engineer needed an assistant and I was invited to begin design and development.
I quickly became adept at drawing circuit diagrams and PCB layouts, creating and debugging designs etc., and some years on, I became head of analogue design.
I learnt a huge amount in my 23 years at Amek and in the later years when Rupert Neve was consulting for Amek, I worked with him for a few years developing the 9098 mixing consoles etc. Amek was then purchased by Harman which lead to it closing so it was time for a new job.
In 2003, I was invited to join Midas/Klark Teknik working on the analogue I/O for the digital console XL8 and various analogue consoles plus signal processors.
After a few years, the company was acquired by Music Tribe, and I continued to work on Midas/Klark Teknik products, as well as many Behringer analogue signal processers.
Later I was invited to work on analogue synthesisers such as the System 55, System 100, 2500 series Eurorack modules and the 2600 synth. This was quite daunting at first, however once I got familiar with the concepts, I found them very fascinating as they contain some of the most challenging and complex analogue circuits you will find. But I always like challenges as they keep things interesting.
Currently I am working on the Bode frequency shifter 1630 as seen in the photo and we now have a fully working prototype. MS-5 is currently being beta tested, VCS3 is coming along well and I’m just about to start work on our DS-80 voice board prototype testing and many more exciting new products to come.
Working on these vintage recreations gives me huge respect for the original creators and incredible joy to help let the legacies of these synths live on. I’d like to thank you all for the appreciation of our work.” - John
