I have heard this myself. I heard a story that he asked an assistant to
patch together a sound for him, the guy couldn't do it after spending a
lot of time, and Hans finished the patch in a few seconds. He knows his
stuff. Of course, no one could possibly use 10% of that stuff on a
regular basis, but he does in fact use the system. And the next time I
meet him, I hope to gush all about my MOTM system and ask why he
doesn't have any modules. Maybe I'll pull a 440 out of my bag. "Oh
yeah? Well, you don't have one of THESE, do ya?"
I forgot that someone who works at MV reads this list. Oh well, so much
for my low profile. :)
