In Memory: Dave Smith (1950–2022)

Dave Smith
(1950–2022)
American engineer and “father of MIDI,” Dave Smith, dies at 72. The Sequential founder revolutionised the music industry with the Prophet line of polyphonic, programmable synthesizers and, in 1983, the introduction of MIDI. The protocol allowed drum machines, keyboards, and sequencers to speak to one another, and earned Smith a Technical Grammy in 2013.
