But the track, from the 1972 Transformer LP, was seditious in a number of other ways. It was a portal into the mysterious pharmaceutically powered and androgynous scene that swirled around Andy Warhol and the New York art world…" Dr. Lonnie Smith Octet: 'In the Beginning, Volumes 1 & 2' Hammond B3 organ master Dr. Lonnie Smith teamed up with alto saxophonist Ian Hendrickson-Smith (a former member of the Dap-Kings) to re-imagine some of Dr. Smith's earliest recorded songs for In the Beginning, Volumes 1 & 2, which was released on October 15 on Dr. Smith's Pilgrimage Productions label. Following five decades with appearances on more than 70 albums, Dr. Smith revisited 12 original songs from his first 10 years as a recording artist.

Pre-configured S6 M10 ($21,995) or S6 M40 ($43,480) surfaces may be purchased with the required faders, knobs, and more already provided, or, with S6 M40, further personalized with different channel control combinations.
