KVR Hello World!!
Chris Halaby's Industry Focus

Chris Halaby's Industry Focus

My name is Chris Halaby and I have been a member of the KVR community for many years. I have been using or helping to create music technology products since 1980. I helped to found Opcode and Muse Research.

With this valuable space I publish articles and interviews with people who create products, and with those that use them. Read them below...
