| Near the end of that summer Bob took notice of a new
product that Yamaha had released - the ProMix 01, midi controllable
mixer. This was a revolutionary product that had a particular
appeal to him. It was a small mixing console that was the
first to be MIDI controllable. This meant that all of its
functions could be remotely controlled by a computer using
a MIDI sequencer program. While representing a major breakthrough
in technology, controlling the device that way was kludgy
at best. With SAC negotiations no longer showing promise,
Bob, in close collaboration with his assistant programmer,
Hristo Doichev, went back to the drawing board and after
a quick revision of the SAC software graphics and engine,
the Software Audio Midi Mixer (SAMM)
was born. |
