Record Producer Behind the TONTO Synthesizer Looks Back
Stevie Wonder's groundbreaking '70s albums leaned heavily on the progressive and innovative synthesizer sounds of the TONTO synthesizer. Robert Margouleff was an integral part of the design and construction of the TONTO, and ended up playing a huge collaborative role on the development of the sound of those classic albums. He also had a hand in landmark releases by artists ranging from Jeff Beck, Gil Scott-Heron, and Bobby Womack to Depeche Mode, Devo, and GWAR, and, co-produced the film Ciao! Manhattan, which was based on his experiences in Andy Warhol's Factory.
