That means you couldn't run complex Max patches with Live8- live.What if Life would run on an extra Computer, that is only focused on audio signal processing? No graphics, no thousand another processes in the background. Only Live and Max4Life. Your host Computer would handle only GUI from Live and project management, the whole sound processing would run on a portable 1 HE box.
That means :
1: you can run very complex Live sets and Max patches on an extra DSP
2: Live and Max becomes an extraordinary portable platform for signal processing
3: once purchase, no need to upgrade your Mac/PC often, you can work with this for years
Do that make sence, what do you think ?
P.S: I would buy such solution..
