Powell working on Finalcut Pro doesn't surprise me. If I remember
correctly, he was one of the first Pop artists (along with Larry Fast) to
evangelize digital synthesis/sequencing. This was during the 70's --
before anyone had even conceived of MIDI, much less adding a computer to
the mix. He's always been a major hexhead.
As for Rundgren, you're correct: he was heavily involved with the Toaster,
although I don't recall if it were from a design standpoint or merely as
an
alpha-tester. However, he is credited with producing some of the first
music videos using computer animation, and these were done exclusively on
the Video Toaster.
