Thank you for posting the sounds of these great and rare instruments. Nice work!

Great sound and playing, a niece piece in fact for a demo :-) anyway it s great that this rare GDS comes back to life with your know-how !

Beautifully evocative and such a rare synth!

Beautiful.  Thanks for composing and sharing it.

Max Mathews would have loved it.  I am quite sure of that.  Dr.B.

Orchestral 1

A brief live improvisation I recorded using the first voice patch I managed to program into the 1979 Crumar GDS shortly after I undertook the major restoration (previously owned by the late Klaus Schulze) of this extremely rare groundbreaking early digital synthesizer.   It is named in memory of the late Max Mathews who played a major role in developing the software routines and concepts behind key parts of the GDS as well as in many other areas of pioneering computer based music technology.
