Gordon Rudd is an engineer who contributed to the creation of the groundbreaking Linn LM-1 Drum Computer in 1980, before moving on to Oberheim Electronics as primary engineer/designer of the classic Oberheim DMX drum machine. Featuring sampled real drum sounds, individual tuning controls for each voice, and programmable rolls and timing variations designed to emulate live drumming, the DMX became hugely influential among hip-hop and synth-pop artists, and had a major impact on the musical landscape of the 1980s.
