Nah. Won't happen. It's not really relevant to IDM, except tangentially,
but Akai knows less than zero about PCs. Witness the fact that they've
never finished Mesa for the PC.
I use soundcards for sampling on my PC, and I do take my computer out
live. But I also just got an S1000, and I find that it's easier
to make useful patches on than the computer. Of course the Turtle Beach
Pinnacle I use has lots of wacky possibilities and if anything sounds better
than the Akai.
