As I understand it, this guy, now departed, actually knew how to 
innovate decent algorithms, rather than just recode the same old .... 
(am I right in thinking he did that really good implementation of the 
SID filter? there is only one other well-coded distorting synth filter 
on the market, and that's in the Korg Legacy MS20).

So Jay, if you found this guy fun to be around, it may have been because 
he knew his stuff, and didn't need to prove it with a primadonna attitude.

One of the few who knew how to push the code has departed. And not only 
push the code, but the product too, which is something.
