Barry was also Music Products Division Manager at Anatek Microcircuits, a hybrid manufacturer in North Vancouver, BC with revenues of $1M USD. Barry and his team developed the Anatek line of MIDI and audio products including the now famous line of small MIDI signal powered MIDI processing accessories called "Pocket Products". Pocket products were used world-wide by some of the most famous musicians in the world such as Stevie Wonder. The most famous of the Pocket Products, Pocket Merge, sold close to 10,000 units in 1989, the product launch year. *1991 - Barry and partners, Geoff Reed, Paul Clark, and Dave Pettigrew used Creation Studios as a vehicle to purchase the assets of Anatek, changing the name of the newly combined entity to Creation Technologies.
