Hi There,

Keyfax NewMedia, the company that created and runs this site, turned 25 this month.

If you are on the Motifator mailing list you’ll probably have seen a mailer and Part 1 of a 4-part blog about how Keyfax got started and, in time, how it developed.

If not, here’s a link. With each blog there’ll be quite a nice contest too. Part 1’s prize is $1000 worth of Alan Parsons / ASSR Session Files.

Enjoy!

MM

Keyfax Mailer and Blog

Congrats on Keyfax’s 25th anniversary, MM. I enjoyed reading Part 1 of the blog, and looking forward to Parts 2/3/4.

long live KeyFax!

Hey enjoyed the blog.,

I really digged the part about C-Lab and Steinberg’s Pro 16 (which became Cubase right)

Anyway, looking forward to the Rest of the blogs.

and also planning to buy a few things that are from Keyfax.

I thought some of you might enjoy a bit of Motifator/Keyfax history, circa 2007:

Here is Part 2 of the 4-part blog on Keyfax turning 25 this month.

Keyfax 25th Anniversary story Part 2

MM

When I was a touring musician there was nothing quite like returning to London from a gig in the midlands at 2AM on a rainy Saturday with nothing but the Watford Gap (a ‘service station’) and its fare of greasy whatever to look forward to before you crept back into a freezing flat ("apartment") with only the girlfriend’s toes for warmth.

I live 5 miles from Watford Gap, and the cuisine is still greasy.

My mom was a waitress there in the 60s back when it was the hip place for many famous people to use.

The restaurant opened in September 1960, but due to the site’s reputation as a truck stop, was redesigned in 1964 to accommodate a waitress service. The services became a meeting place for rock bands in the 1960s, including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix, as it provided a convenient place to sit down and eat a meal in the early hours of the morning
