OnChip Systems: Difference between revisions

Line 6:
Later developments included more highly integrated circuits such as the 3389 signal processor and the 3396 synth-on-a-chip. The further miniaturaization led to the creation of [[rackmount synthesizer]]s, played via [[MIDI]] from a [[keyboard controller|master keyboard]], and saving performers both money and space. However, Doug Curtis folded his interest in CEM into OnChip Systems in 1988, and further design work on music synthesis products ended. Curtis himself largely moved out of the music field, occasionally doing consulting work with synth manufacturers until his untimely death in 2007.<ref name="emwcem"/>
 
Although the company still maintains a web page, it is no longer doing business. Before his death in 2007, Curtis apparently helped [[Dave Smith Instruments]] secure a supply of certain CEM chips to use in their [[Evolver]] line of synths. Whether these chips are new production or just stock that Curtis had warehoused is unclear.<ref name="emwcem"/>
