>I agree actually, I think in a few years we'll see a revival of NV-VSTi's

The XX7 is really cool hardware controller i have a lot of fun with console 
+ vstis, console let you map directly any cc to any controllable soft synth 
parameter, so if you want to set up the controls at your softsynth like the 
knobs at the XX7 you didnt even have to look at the softsynth manual, 
console does mapping the way you want to... once you linked your set of 
instruments and fx like you want to have it there is the possibility to 
store over-all presets, containing all the vst, vsti and mixer settings, so 
you didnt have to close your set and open a new one to keep playing a 
different preset-set. I said before that it isnt possible to mix internal 
and external sequenzer, but with an XX7 there is not so much need for it 
either, you may use cubase or any other sequenzer, midi yoke, and lets go- 
until there are vsti-loadable [hardware] instruments affordable i highly 
recomend playing around with console or VSTack if your PC is powerfull 
enough
