wow I'm surprised more people are not asking after it. Especially the solo peformers who want to chagne say BeatBuddy (or other drum machine)presets or fills hands free, or want to load alternate synth setups midway through a song....

I'm not surprised by the lack of demand.  Where I live, we are inundated with solo performers of one type or another and I've yet to see one of them using a midi controlled setup.  To a man (or woman) they rely entirely on pre-recorded backing tracks.

I use midi a lot in composition, but never live (unless you count my Ztar) and I think that's probably more usual.  Without the pressure of a live performance, there is no need to have the ability to change things on the fly

With the recent introduction of the Win10 version - which was asked for by a lot of people - Mike has his hands full just keeping with tracking down the glitches in that version.  Don't forget, he's one person, with a proper job, trying to keep a lot of balls in the air.  Personally, I think he does a remarkable job of it.

If you can't live without these midi features, go back to IOS.  After all, you hardly have a major financial investment in MSP and the day may yet come when it will do what you want.
