My name is Steve Siers AKA Quad "The Qrazy Synth Man"
The website name comes from the fact that I am a crazy musician who loves the sounds created by synthesizers.
The letter Q is used as a tribute to my favorite synthesizer, the WALDORF Q made in Germany.
What makes me really Qrazy is that I own four different Q synthesizer keyboards.
Ruby Red Q+ with 100 voices and 16 analog filters, a Classic Blue Q with 32 voices, a Nextel Blue Q with 16 voices & wooden end caps and a rare Original Yellow Q with 16 voices & wooden end caps.

My name is Steve Siers, but my friends call me
Quad "The Qrazy Synth Man"
and I have been playing synthesizers for more than 30 years. You may be thinking I have to be at least 50 years old. The truth is I am closer to 60, but don't let the fact that I am an old musician fool you. With today's technology our music will take you way beyond your imagination.
