Well I hope Yamaha does get on board because with a couple design changes to the N series they'd have a nice hybrid DAW controller. A couple suggestions so it can be marketed to both the home user and the guy in the middle:
1. If Yamaha is set on including pres, at least give us the option of bypassing them with our own pres so they're inline with the mixer. Nothing against the Yamaha pres since I've never heard them, but for us guys mixing ITB box, one of the most important pieces of gear in the the signal chain is a highend mic pre. Some people have even suggested DAW controllers with a 500 series bucket built in.
2. When in mix mode, I think you should have the option of using the digital eq and dynamic section as is or as a VST eq and dynamics controller. Let's face it, some of the plugins emulations out there sound really close to their analog counterpart and are going to sound better than 8 digital eq's on a $1000 board. The same should be done with the reverb.
