Klaus Röder (often spelled Roeder) is a German musician and music teacher, born 7 April 1948 in Stuttgart, Germany. He currently lives and teaches in Langenfeld (Rhld.), Germany. Röder is married and has three children.

He studied violin and piano, then began a study of sound engineering in 1968, later switching to part-time studies in composition and guitar at the Robert Schumann Hochschule in Düsseldorf, ultimately graduating in 1980 with a diploma in electronic music composition.

Interested in experimental and avant garde music he began creating custom-made instruments, also using synthesizers and tape recorders to manipulate recorded sounds.

During this period he played guitar (used as a sound trigger device for synthesizer) in a free jazz group, Synthesis, and briefly, during 1974, with the electronic band Kraftwerk.[1]

Since 1975 he has worked from his own electronic music studio, latterly using personal computers entirely for composing and creating music.[2]

Röder had an interview about his Kraftwerk time on music documentary film "Kraftwerk And The Electronic Revolution" produced by Rob Johnstone, released in 2008.[3]
