Yeah from what Ive read about it was truely awesome, shame it had to
be the end of his company, though I beleive he still does some work
for Waldorf (I beleive he worked on the WAVE and uWAVE). He had
good reason to smile, the trouble is he was about 10 years ahead of
his time, if he had that thing out now, it would sell thousands of
units...

Could be, the thing that struck me about the realiser was that it had
knobs on the front for everything...
