Heh.  I worked at Alesis for a few years, and met several who
certainly could.  And I met a lot more who couldn't but
thought they could.  It makes a difference when you're
designing digital simulations of tube and FET amps.  :)

As it happens, one of my biggest regrets about my time
at Alesis was that I hadn't heard of Lua yet.  Lua would have
cut my project times in half.
