Love the tinkerers!!! and long live the Tinkerers!!!!
The full documentary was really interesting and an enjoyable watch. Worth adding because it’s not clear in the post that this is not something you have to pay to view – 30 or so minutes of great viewing awaits you 🙂
I will be watching Apocalypse Now today to hear him in there…I wonder if Arturia pays him royalties on the Steiner-Parker filters they use in their gear or if they bought the patent? Or just took it…not sure how that stuff works. (off to google to find out)
I found this: http://yusynth.net/archives/ElectronicDesign/N-Steiner-VCF-1974.pdf so apparently he published the schematic for all to utilize. I see that Yves Usson (owner of link above) designed Arturia’s filter and worked directly with Nyle. So he probably did get some royalty compensation. It has been a very interesting week on ST… 😀
Probably old news, but here is an interview with Yves Usson on the MiniBrute, he does confirm he had reached out to Nyles for assistance. http://greatsynthesizers.com/en/interview/yves-usson-co-developer-of-the-arturia-minibrute/
sorry to fill up comments with more info…but I got super curious…
