Which one of those is a comprehensive channel strip/effect/vsti preset browser a la LOGIC?

U should try it Jah if u haven't already, Logic does that better than any DAW.

1) channel strip/effect/vsti browser a la Logic i, e click on the channel strip and you browse the combined vsti and effects settings togther as one, click on an individual vsti or effect and u see the presets for just that on its own.

2)Note length quantise a la almost any sequencer

3) Realtime timestretch/pitch shift ala Ableton.

I didn't want to include the name of the 3rd product....as it sparks emotion. The list of features are from another hardware/software hybrid product...and not a DAW like Logic and Live.

We have to acknowledge that it has taken over 3 years of said product being on the market (plus the number of years/months it has been in development prior to release) to amass that feature list. The Ren has been out approx 8-9 months. Not to mention that the Ren's Feature Suggestion thread includes hundreds of requests outside of this list.....
