Johannes Climacus by Alex Bedwell, folmR

"Gabi Delgado-Lopez: Conny was the guy who invented the DAF sound. It was his idea to blast off the Korg and ARP with full steam. He never interfered with the compositions. He always said: "I am your sound coach." He used to get everything out of these small plastic machines. And he was a master in setting the microphones right. Like nobody else, he understood electronic music, even its faults. He could deal with these faults, like a magician, taking them to another level so that they weren't faults anymore, then they were better than 'good.' Back in those days, synthesizers were just with little power, and they mostly made 'beeps.' One of Conny's best production powers was to make them sound really powerful. When we came into his studio with our Korg's, he was laughing, because they sounded quite thin. He put them in the back and connected them to two really heavy Marshall stacks, and the sound was amazing. The sound source direct from the Korg was only 20% of what we recorded. Until this day, I meet discouraged people, who bought a Korg and wonder why it doesn't sound like on our records. Conny liked a dirty sound with power, and you can hear that in Kluster, early Kraftwerk, from NEU! to Devo and DAF. "
