Title: RIP Ray Wilson
Post by: mcasemo on July 24, 2016, 05:34:57 AM
Looks like Ray Wilson has died.  Sorry to be the guy to post it, just saw the news and didn't see it here, i know there are many synth enthusiasts here.

I recently started into the synth stuff, so have spent a lot of time on his site reading his awesome write-ups of how each module/project works.  Made the subcommander, and emailed him a few times and got responses within the hour, hand drawn redlines on the schematic for mods.  Such an inspiration.

Sad news - he contributed so much to the DIY community.

Like Craig Anderton, I feel that he inspired a lot of people to have a go and get stuck in.

Sad, never built any of his stuff but always enjoyed watching his demos.
