sorry about the delay in replying. i have done some work with both interfaces and am close to the thoughts i have on each/both.

i can say, pipeline, that i agree with your idea right off the bat. there is a disconnect between the full biab app and the in-daw vsti. one quick win would be make the full app capable of syncing with a given daw. the longer solution is to flesh out the vsti to have all of the functionality of the full app.

id also like to see non-rendered midi playback in the vsti, which i use in the full app.

i hope to have more thoughts shortly.
