I'm actually starting to wonder where the value is in buying one of these (Neko or Media) boards.

I have a laptop, I can get all the plug ins and just use one of my boards as a contoller. I could even swap to the Linux system if I wanted and all that would be far cheaper than either of these boards.

The demos for Mediastation are far less than impressive and there aren't any demos that I have ever seen of someone actually playing a Neko and making sounds come out of it.

So what is all this really, essentially a pc/laptop with hard surface controls.

Hmmmm maybe I'm not so hot for one of these afterall. Not to mention the fact that domenik has already said as much that the "big boys" seem to have taken a keen interest as well, which translates to what cool model will they come out with.

Me thinks I'll just chill on this concept for awhile.
