[sdiy] Sad News about Paul Schreiber.

[Chris H. Park]

Very sad today. Condolences to his family.

When we acquired the rights to MOTM from Paul some years ago, we had lengthy conversations about (almost everything)-- and he basically dared us to make modular synths, 5U and thru-hole DIY work in the era of e-commerce, social media and eurorack... And if anything, ten years on, this list is evidence that what he helped design and build, and what this community represents and makes, is here for the long run.

We've never met or spoken to Tammy-- but if we could, we'd try and communicate the enormous positive impact Paul has had on this community- it can't have been easy every day for her (another pinball machine in the garage? Really?) and we can only hope that the immense positive community spirit in some way helps her manage what must be enormous grief.

Thoughts and prayers, for real.

Hey SDIY -

I just got off a call with Paul Schreiber's wife Tammy who let me know
that he passed away in the hospital this morning while waiting for heart
surgery. I've been chatting with him almost daily over the last few
weeks and he was in good spirits, hopeful for his upcoming procedure and
a quick recovery. We'd been working on some new ideas that he was
planning to release for production later this year.

Paul was a consummate engineer with deep roots in music and technology
and had worked on portions of the TRS-80 ecosystem, the Realistic
Concert-Mate MG-1 synth, the MOTM modular system and many Eurorack
modules. He had been an active participant in the early days of this
mailing list and was well known for strong opinions although in recent
years he spent more of his online time on other forums.

Paul and I began working together in 2007 after I'd posted a little
digital oscillator project to this list. Our collaboration resulted in
many of the Synthesis Technology Eurorack modules from the first E350
Morphing Terrarium oscillator to the final E520 Hyperion processor. He
was fun to work with and a great friend. I will miss him.

Eric
