I would like to add for outsiders: this is in Logic, this has nothing to do with the Tango!
Tango is not going to be able to totally circumvent the implementation of the host. It can only expose the features that the DAW makes available. if the automation system lacks depth on the host, the Tango is not going to change that.

One of the nice things I saw at the show regarding Cubase 5 is that it has most of the Nuendo 4 automation mode features, so it will be very robust and should map well to the expert panel layout on Tango.

I talked to David Hannay about their roadmap for implementing an SDK, and he said that was in the priority list right after MCU support is done. BTW - my understanding is the the full HUI mode implementation was ported over from the Pro series consoles - and is complete, so I think the only things they have left is the MCU mappings and controls.
