More control surface slots please .....ASAP ;-)

Please can we have some more control Surface slots . With all the new apps hitting the scene .....not to mention launchpads nocturns APC40's .......I also run a tascam us 2400 .....
....an obvious suggestion is to double to 12 ......but we all know that we should estimate a requirement and then double it .....so I'd say ableton could do with 20 slots .....
If you are running an iPad as a control surface the amount of apps that you can use all needing there own slots is amazing ...touchable ....Griid....Live control .......Touch o/c .....Etc etc
:D
....cheers

Does anyone use more than six control surfaces in a single performance?

Hey mate,
I'm studio based and often work on collaborations, so many hands on many controllers. It's the way we record our tracks "live style" .....that's how we got hooked on ableton after years on Cubase.
I imagine that 2 or more members of a "band"playing a live set with multiple controllers could also run out f slots pretty quickly.
Also, and I havent done this myself yet, can't you run multiply Ipad apps that you can hot swap between on an individual iPad,
I can't imagine live not evolving without recognising that more slots will be needed.....
What's ur live setup oddspot ?
:D

Of course, it hadn't occurred to me that multiple people could use a single computer.yeah it'd be easy to get up to 12 remote control surfaces in a band with more than three people. Classic laptop hermit mistake :D . Make it twenty!
