Hi Alex

I am not challenging your preference for hardware arrangers, but you might be giving the wrong impression on two issues. 1) You do not need to use computer audio or lug around an external module if your controller has sounds built in. 2) I do not think you need to be able to read the computer display to use Jammer Live. For example, you could set up your laptop to boot to Jammer Live. From that point everything can be controlled from your controller. On the hard hand your points about boot time, reliability and perceptions are well taken.

In my case, I am not making a choice between hardware and software. I have both and expect to continue enjoying both.
