InVettagating: Line 6 - Marcus Ryle - Jan. 2006 page 2
Thanks go out to all the Marcus Ryle and Line 6, they have been very kind and helpfull.
Michel and I worked closely together for five years, being the two primary designers of the synthesizers. In 1985 we decided that we wanted to do more then the types of products that Oberheim was focused on. I very much love synthesizers, but we were interested in all things having to do with making music and audio. As a result, Michel and I decided to start a company called Fast Forward Designs along with my wife, Susan, who has been responsible for much of the business management and logistics of the company while Michel and I worked on product design (and she is also still at Line 6, by the way). From 1985 through 1995 we were a product design consulting company. Our primary focus was that we wanted to develop innovative products and learn about new technology. We’ve always had great curiosity into how we could use new technologies to create new ways for musicians to be creative. We thought the best way to pursue this was to develop new products for other companies so that we could be involved in many different types of products.
During those ten years, we were involved in a lot of products for various companies. The most well known name would probably be Alesis. For Alesis, we helped develop about 40 products, including the ADAT, Quadraverb and Quadrasynths, the drum machines, and so on. We also did work for Digidesign, including the Samplecell series of products. We also designed MIDI lightning controllers, and other various things in different parts of our industry. We had the chance to learn a lot about digital signal processing during all of this development, and always had a fascination with guitar (Michel is a guitarist as well). Around 1994, we began to believe that there was finally enough DSP power to properly emulate what goes on in a vacuum tube or valve in a guitar amp. Although we were still consulting for other companies, we started a sort of a private research project on our own to see how good it could be and what it could do. That of course led into the introduction of the AxSys 212 in 1996 and all of the Line 6 products since then. That’s pretty much the technical career history, Vinny.
