So, with this remote computer idea, you go to a gig, and set up both your arranger and your computer? and have to balance 2 different sound sources so that when you trigger the computer parts it isn't the wrong level?

I keep thinking that arrangers will finally get to the point where everything is integrated into the arranger itself, just with better components. Solid state harddrives are starting to become pretty impressive now. So in a few more years, arrangers will run on SSD's, with many gigs worth of audio loops, with some melodyne thrown in there for spontaneous chord inversion changes, and several more gigs worth of lead voices. Every manufacturer will still sample their own voices and make their own styles, so that their styles and soud sets will ball be in balance, and we won't have to try to juggle 100 different products from 100 different manufacturers to all play nice together in a self-cobbled attempt. Cloned styles just won't sound right using VST's. Because those styles were made with a specific soundset in mind, that has its own velocity curves, its own layer split points, its own special effects tied to certain keys or CC controls.

As many problems as Audya has had, I still like their idea better than these open-source software arrangers. There's just no way to make everything play nice and sound good without a lot of work. Running your VST's on a remote computer isn't going to fix that problem, and will make live play even more cumbersome.
