Logic System is a musical project of Hideki Matsutake (b. August 12, 1951 Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan) is a Japanese composer, arranger, and computer programmer.
In 1981, Matsutake formed 'Logic System' with Makoto Irie and Ryo Kawakami. They released the first album "Logic" and toured other Asian countries several times.
Hideki Matsutake worked as an assistant for Isao Tomita in the 70's and is well-known as the sequencer programmer and modular synthesizer operator for the Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO), but he wasn't a member of YMO. He worked on several of their albums and toured with his huge collection of synths. He also did sequencing work for numerous technopop albums for other artists, particularily in the early 80's. In 1996 he performed in a big concert event organized by Isao Tomita and was also guest on Towa Tei albums. On his website is a huge number of MIDI files he released, with some of YMO's original songs.
Matsutake is currently Chairman of Japan Synthesizer Programmers Association (JSPA).
