R.I.P. Ikutaro Kakehashi
Roland founder and TR-808 creator Ikutaro Kakehashi dies at age 87.
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2017...aro-kakehashi/ Not a household name, I confess I didn't know who the man was until I read the obituary, but boy there's a LOT we have to thank this man for! The 808, the Juno, the Jupiter, the D-50, MIDI, the GR-55, the JC-120, every Boss guitar pedal I've ever stomped on... The list goes on and on. Domo arigatou gozaimasu Kakehashi San. Rest in peace.
