I believe the "Amiga programmer" in question is Todor Fay, who wrote
Soundscape for Mimetics.  I though Soundscape had a lot of potential,
but never really lived up to it.  Bars and Pipes might be good, or it
might not, but I intend to approach it with a certain amount of caution
(even more than usual).  If the "musical person" did her job right,
then it could be a really nice program, but Todor by himself doesn't
seem to be too great on user interface design or quality control.
