quit yer bitchin' and buy a midi sequencer if you want vsti support. i think live should stay as a pure audio tool. adding midi beyond contoller support would just complicate eveything. you say vsti support is just like vst support that accepts midi. that may be true (though i'm no programmer, so i've no idea) but then you have vsti support without a sequencer, so it's only good for people who will actually be playing a keyboad and i would argue that most vsti tracks are controlled via a sequencer. so then there would be a cry for little midi clips that you could play the vstis with, because "vstis without a sequencing, what's the point of that?". then you'd need to edit the little midi clips somehow, so you'd need some editing options. but how many options? all of them? just a few? so you've added all this stuff and compicated everything so much that live loses all the nifty simplicity that makes it such a great, fun, easy and
stable program to use. maybe the reason that cubase, logic or any other bloated everything-in-one-infinitely-complex program isn't ever considered for performance with is due to the inabilty of programmers to ever get an app with forty bazillion options spanning a light year of code to ever be stable enough for stage. i dunno, just a thought.

I think anyone who uses a MIDI fader box to control Live might disagree with you there.
actually, i do use a midi fader box, and i don't disagree even a wee bit.
