Re: [SoundDiver] SoundDiver dies with Lion - what to do?

I will concur. I'd love to see support for SoundDiver or sounddiver-esque functionality in Apple's new logic 10 when it is released. It's great that apple feels soft synths are it's future in the audio world, but as of right now, Apple's attempts at high quality soft synths have fallen below the mark that it's plugin competitors have been releasing in today's market. I mean look at the exs24 sampler, or ultrabeat... Theres a ton of room for improvement. Personally, I don't even care about better soft Synths from apple. They can't compete with izotope, fxpansion, Steve Duda, waves audio, or slate digital.  They can compete, however, with Avid by providing us a better Logic! My personal feeling is that while the
Included bundled plugs are a fantastic package deal, I want a full fledged uninhibited MIDI environment to work inside. Not supporting or even including the ability to work with hardware Synths or samplers the way
SoundDiver allows us is handicapping the MIDI capabilities that earned logic it's reputation as the defacto MIDI tool.
I will support this cause. I suggest everyone on this forum should also let apple know what YOU want.

But if everyone here writes to Apple and asks for what I've outlined above, maybe tens, maybe hundreds of emails will suddenly appear and Apple will perhaps take some notice.
