Matt is the owner and sound designer at Patchman Music (a company that specializes in sales and support of wind controllers). He is also an avid brass-style wind controller collector, player, and authority on wind controllers especially the EVI (Electronic Valve Instrument) and MDT (Morrison Digital Trumpet) brass-type MIDI wind controllers.
Matt began playing the trumpet in 1973 being inspired as a young lad by trumpet legends Herb Alpert and Al Hirt. These days, the acoustic trumpet is in the closet and he now dedicates his time to playing only brass-type wind controllers.

PS: finally loaded Midi-Ox and got it done....the 3030m and TX81z patches you created were especially useful.
Great Matt. Besides being one of the greatest EVI players, the whole Windcontroller world changed after your Turbo VL 70. Personally I am very grateful for so wonderful patches you created. I began to play my old WX11 again. As someone said you are THE MAN. Thank you so much Matt. Saludos.
Hi Matt, Thanks for adding me. Great music in your profile and thanks for the great sounds you've done for the VL70 and XV. They are proofing to be useful and fun...
