About Me

John Portrait

I’m John Cooper. Here on Planet Z, I’ll share some of my obsessions – guitar, keyboards, songwriting, woodworking, electronics, photography, audio/video production. 

I make synthesizers and related software at Korg R&D.

I make music as Wave Away. 

I play in the cover band The Drop Daddies.

Back in the day, I worked at Opcode SystemsGibson Guitar‘s electronic instruments R&D group, and Thomas Dolby‘s company Beatnik.

I no longer host the Planet Z Scope user forum here. You can now find it at scopeusers.com.
