Nice, my MIDI teacher was from the netherlands, his father has a library of 
old analogue synths because he apparently used to work for some company 
making them or making patches for them or something....His father is 
apparently a HUGE classical musician there, as well as his sister and aunt, 
he's classically trained and went to some really really good school there (or 
elsewhere in europe) and he teaches at my school while trying to get his 
doctorate in music or something....He's doing some research at the University 
of Chicago with this global group that is trying to make an ASCII standard 
for music data so the file size is small without losing quality or some crap, 
but he knows about some increadibly innovative software and gear that just 
isnt on the market....he's a badass in my opinion, he uses these programs 
(MAX) to literally program all these crazy controllers and triggers to create 
a realtime musical environment for plays and performance artists and stuff 
like that....pretty increadible.....
