I just got a response from Norbert concerning the number of VSTs that can be added to Live - Styler. It seems you could do something like use the NI B4 and add a Reverb (2 instruments or 1 instrument and 1 effect - I think). The B4 would go thru the reverb and then to the ASIO drivers. This would not be enough flexibility for me. I need at least 4 VSTs (instrumets) and the same number of effects (Reverb, Chorus, Equalizer, Delays, etc.).

It is a great deal of work to do all of this and Norbert does the whole coding by himself plus holding down a day job. I will encourage him to expand Live - Styler to include some of mine/your suggestions. There are 2 guys programming forte Ensemble and I can tell you it takes considerable effort to get it all working with many different computers and many different sound cards and drivers. It can be done - it is only time and money!
