Lumen, you and I are very much in synch on this one. I have been patiently waiting for both of these products, only to be continually led-on and dissapointed by Tascam. If the DM-24 wasn't so integral to my setup now, I would probably totally ditch Tascam as well. Why support a company that seems to have forgotten how to support me?
At the same time, I continue to be tempted by GS 3.0's specs, and think that the arrival of this app will change the minds of many of those who have 'moved on' (given of course that it ever arrives). Killer functionality trumps spite everytime (and great libs help too...)
Does the latest version of Kontakt provide integrated convolution that is tied to instrument constuction (as GigaPiano II allegedly is?) Will it offer its own set of intelligent midi rules?
And, as a practical question, will Kontakt work with a non-VST host (I use Sonar) -- without a wrapper?
I haven't yet decided which way to go, but Tascam is making it harder and harder to argue their case every day...
