Paul T Schreiber Of MOTM Has Passed Away

US Extremely highly regarded in the synth world      24/03/25

Sad news today that Paul T Schreiber, synthesizer designer and highly respected and loved member of the US and global synthesis community has passed away, he was 69.

Paul's early work included being at Tandy in the 80s and working on the famed Realistic Concert-mate MG-1 release. He started the MOTM brand in 1998 which allowed people to make their own systems (Module Of The Month) in 5U format. We spoke to him at several trade shows over the years, he was a lovely chap.

The Synthesis Technology brand also got into Eurorack with a wide range of modules that were highly regarded. Paul retired in 2023 but remained active in the community, many makers in the modular space have fond memories of Paul and his mentorship and generosity.

Our thoughts go out to his family and friends.
