Thanks for the positive comments.
I will save screen space and only reply to clarify or offer some extra info


- No support for out-of-the-box analogue summing
It's not an analog mixer, sure. but it does summing. The n can be a stand alone mixer without a computer.
It has a "warmth and airiyness' not usually associated with digital mixers.
Each person has to judge for themselves "Tonal Qualities" but I think most agree that
the 'n' sound is not the "sterile" sound that many think of when one says digital.


- Only one Aux bus (although thankfully separate from reverb bus)
Yes but there are some tricks you can do when used with a computer DAW

- No channel EQ bypass button

True, you must zero the 3 bands or use a VST EQ on that channel (that's new to the n)


- "Wet" monitoring usefulness highly dependent upon system latency. Will it still work at 96kHz sampling rates?


96K? Of Course, all functionality, all the time.
I usually demo the n12 with a buffer size of 512 samples to show that the n-series "wet" monitoring function works a bit better than typical DAW monitoring of yore.

- Will all future versions of Cubase include support for the n-series?

Cubase 4.1 and Nuendo 4 accept the downloadable AI functionality.
They are available at yamahasynth.com


Hope this clarifies
