I was expecting more replies to this thread. This really looks like a game-changer. I can see Native Instruments really stepping their game up now, especially with their DAW.
I'm not sure how many people would really want a standalone version but it's still great to see that. This must suck though for those that have the MPC Renaissance. Hopefully they get a free upgrade to the new software.
this does look awesome, I hope the pads are decent. I have not been impressed with their pads in a long time. But I still have to say I like Live+Push and a laptop still brings more to the table. But I can't wait to get my hands on one to try it out.
