Smokydays - how would an Ipod help?  Would it somehow act as a controller?

That's the new Microsoft Origami.  It runs a full version of Windows XP and has firewire/usb.


Edit to say:  That Ultralight does indeed look sweet!

Origami eh?  I'm going to have to check that out!  Looks kind of like a Sony U70 mated with an Ipod...

They are calling it an "Ultra Mobile PC".  Here's a link to their site:

Looks like Samsung may be the first to market with one.

If there was a way that it would just "remember" the last setting that was used when the firewire was plugged in, that may work.  Hard to know if there is any hardware in the unit that could do such a thing when the power is switched off.

The motu traveller and the new motu ultralight both allow you to 'create mixes' while attached to the pc and it will save them and allow you to access and even tweak them while in standalone mode. Of course, they cost a bit more and have fancy lcd dispays.

The problem is: 1) MOTU devices cost a bit more, 2) the quality, of the Traveler at least, is not as good, at least stock,
3) maybe drivers issues on Windows, but I'm not sure about this.

Oh yeah, well, I've already got the Presonus...

Question is, what bit/sampling rate would you want it to 'default' to? I'd bet you'd only get one.
24/96 might be too high for some, 16/44 wouldn't be too thrilling, 16/48 still smells like magnetic media, to me...

If I had to pick a default, I'd choose 24/48.
