    The closest I ever got to working in the Music Industry, was when I
interveiwed for Sequential Circuits.  They were a nice bunch of dudes, but
the guy that interveiwed me sort of scared me.  One of the questions he
asked (in fact, the only question I can remember from back then) was "Do you
actually know how to design analog circuits or do you just fiddle with them
till they work?".  He explained the question by stating that that was how
the P5 was done by him.  I never got the job (was never made an offer) but
had decided when I walked out the door that maybe working there might not be
a good idea.
