I saw the announcement today..

http://keyszone.boards.net/thread/430/akai-vip-3-released

Looks like Akai made a huge step.. in reaction to the new NI komplete kontrol mk2?

Akai VIP 3.0 is compatible with any Midi co troller and costs €99... this could be a much easier VST host for the Kronos then mainstage...

For 100 bucks and universal support it's kind of in competition with Cantabile. I wonder how it stacks up. May I ask what your experiences with Mainstsge are? I used it years ago but really liked it.

"In addition, VIP 3.0 is available to 3rd-party keyboards for the first time, for an introductory $99.99 access fee available at Plugin Boutique or Plugivery Dealers."...

So is it a free update for current AKAI users?

That's a nice surprise - As a Code 61 user, I get a free copy Wink

I'll give it a try tomorrow.

OK... Tomorrow's been and gone.

Sadly, VIP is a bit of a disappointment as it doesn't seem to support AU or VST3 plug-ins, so all but two items from Roland Cloud are not recognized.

It may have been free, but I won't be using it Rolling Eyes
