Unfortunate.
Also unfortunately owned a Pro One. Biggest POS synth I owned. Actually had many disagreements with him about the quality and functioning of that ProOne, many Prophet 600s and SixTrax(s), which would eventually turn into much stock being returned and fixed on their dime. We did have the only Prophet T-8 in that county though and I spent the entire year playing that every minute I could. Absolutely fantastic. Over the years, whenever we met up, he would never remember who I was until a few minutes into talking with him, which would be pleasant until he did, and then he would shut down on me again. Ironically, a decade or more later, my manager gave me a DrumTrax that was abandoned in the store after it locked up and supposedly couldn't be fixed by SC. Brought it home and did a hard reset on it and it worked perfectly. It became a major component in our band until we split.
I actually always thought of him as a very nice guy, very intelligent and personable as he wanted to be. I just got lumped into the bad history of the original company's troubled manufacturing period.
Definite prayers for his restful peace.
