Started looooooong ago with the (then) italian importer of Casio keyboards (he did incredible things with the CZ synths) and soon taken by Korg (which shared the importer with casio) after they saw his terrific potential as programmer and performer.
So his collaboration with Korg probably dates back to the Poly 800/DW8000 days, 1983/85 (as demonstrator only).
When he unveiled about the M1, I remember that we asked what it meant.
"Michele One, of course" was the answer.
I sometimes bump into his studio, to say hello (or when there's something I do not understand about ......Korg....) and often there's something hidden under a cover or a towel.........
I never ask, he wouldn't tell.
After he finished with EXs3 work he phoned me to tell that he was going out for his prize after a good work: a huge ice cream!
There's so much I owe him as a musician and a friend, I learnt most of all I know about synths from him (real musicians do not need to keep secrets, they're always two measures ahead
) and it's always a joy to see how he is appreciated for his work and for the nice person he is.
