Harry Mendell
Harry Mendell is an American inventor and computer designer. In the 1970s and 1980s he worked in electronics, specifically with computers and music. He invented the first digital sampling synthesizer. The American musician Stevie Wonder bought Mendell's invention, the "Computer Music Melodian" and used it on a documentary soundtrack and corresponding soundtrack album inspired by the book ''The Secret Life of Plants''. Wonder worked with Mendell for almost a decade, including almost all the tracks that are on the soundtrack album ''The Woman in Red'', for which Mendell won a Platinum record. Mendell also worked with Bon Jovi.
In the late 1980s onwards, Mendell moved into conceptualizing and designing computer algorithms for international finance, and became an expert on global risk management, option trading and volatility research, as well as machine learning and natural language processing.
==1970s==
As an undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1970s, Mendell took a course during which he studied the Moog synthesizer, an analog synthesizer. He became curious about how a synthesizer could be adapted to computing. His university thesis was on computer vision, and he designed a solid-state imaging system, which was one of the first to be invented. Mendell graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1976, and at about the same time he invented the first digital sampling synthesizer, while working at the Annenberg Center for Communication.〔University of Pennsylvania website, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Music, Synthesizing Music and Science", by Nate Chinen, 2013 () accessed 2014-5-20〕
At Bell Labs from 1976 to 1984, Mendell worked as part of a group developing the Unix system; commenting about this research in the 2013 University of Pennsylvania interview, he said, "I actually developed a chip for managing memory, and it's still the same system they use."
