One of my students stumped me with a trivia question the other day that I simply COULD NOT find the answer to anywhere: What was the very first MIDI synth? I am thinking it was made by Sequential Circuits (Prophet-???). Please let me know - "millions" of eager young minds from Iowa await your wisdom!

Correct. The Prophet-600, 1983, followed by the Yamaha DX7 and Roland Jupiter-6. >Please let me know - "millions" of eager young minds from Iowa await your >wisdom! Hebbins.

Wish I could remember the name of >it. Metlay has_got_ to know this one...... Of course I do, you silly little desert-dwelling electronic musician type person you. Hell, I OWNED one: a Moog Liberation. But it had no MIDI.
