This interview series is strangely under appreciated, but I have enjoyed them all! This one in particular. I could listen to Mark (and all the past interviewees) share knowledge and anecdotes for hours.
Mark is awesome. I met him years ago while he was playing a gig in Madison, WI on just a 909, an mmt-8, an S-760 and a mackie 1202, maybe a pedal or two, and that's it, and his set was KILLER! Smart guy, and very personable. Killer musician as well. Having met him a few times, I can confirm what Mark said about Don Buchla. However, he was also an INCREDIBLE problem solver. A few times, I had a problem I couldn't work out, and I would present it to him, and immediately, his eyes would light up, and usually within seconds, he'd have a solution that was elegant, functional, and efficient, and he would do it almost instantly. He'd present the answer almost off-hand like it was common knowledge, not in an arrogant way, but just that the issue was solved with such ease for him that it seemed like maybe many other people had arrived at the same solution, but in fact, they hadn't. I don't know if he fully grasped his own genius. Now admittedly, he was not always easy to talk to, for most folks, but I never had a problem talking with him, and he was really good about accepting my invitations to musical events. He was down to check stuff out. And as such, he is truly missed.
I've never seen Mark Verbos so spirited. Great job with the interview ❤
Thanks. 🙏 The interview was editing down quite a lot. We talked for almost an hour. Fascinating and eloquent guy🤘

Please make Verbos in a 5u version!
Very nice interview and... yes, Mark is outstanding!
👍🙏
The New Systems Instruments - Inertia implements the overshooting Verbos describes in the beginning as well. Quite impressive module.

Indeed👍
Had a feeling he was talking about Grant. Cool dude
