Thats an important observation, and we must take it into account. What about if the product allowed you to, say, control your Virus from your phone so that for live gigs you don't need a laptop, and so on .. the device could have onboard RAM for storing local MIDI sequences, patches, and so on - particularly geared for the performance keyboardist.

This would mostly be for a live rig, I think.
