This is what I was concerned about in my original post.... that it's 
common enough that people have implemented it several times in various 
synthdrivers.

We should see if the FCB1010 does it the same way as the Alesis and/or 
the XML driver and, if they're the same, move them into the general 
synthdriver utils. I can only think of *two* different ways of doing the 
conversion that aren't completely insane... and one of them makes a lot 
more sense than the other. So, it's very likely that they're all the 
same and we can have a global deNibbilize/reNibbilize.
