If you like synths and Prince

Synth was the most important instrument that defined his career.

Without synthesizers there would be no Minneapolis sound.

This book is ther best ever if you want to know about how Prince used synthes and you can read it here

Never heard about Dumas Robert a guy who was Princes synth guru,he was teaching Prince how to program synths

I would question the synth programming lessons with Dumas Robert... this is the only source of that info, and Prince programmed all of his stuff as far as I know.

"He's a musician's musician..."
