I'd say techno is Roland. Without that japanese dude who got radiation poisoning from nagasaki there would be no 909 707 303 808 etc... Or maybe its just the invention of the stand alone drum machine with 16th sequencers/step times, but would the kpr77 produced that same deep rolling sound ...If whoever made the first records ( don't want to start another thread here ...) started with computer screen would the same 'feel' have ever been generated...
