50 years of Sequential.....

I was quite shocked to see a lot of omissions from Sequential's history when looking at the 50 year time line. No DrumTraks, no Prophet 2000, no Sequential Max, no Studio 440 etc. Not saying these were all bangers but if you are going to do a time line, why skip over stuff? We went from the Prophet 600 to the Prophet VS in no time.

Yeah I was surprised by that too. Maybe that's a chapter they want to forget (Model 64 anyone?). But still, the Studio 440, Prophet 2000 and let's not forget the Tom, which is enjoying a bit of renaissance at the moment, were all innovative and highly regarded products of which Sequential should be proud.

I think they should be proud of the Model 64. It essentially is the gap between standalone sequencers and computer based sequencers.
