I honestly can't imagine how it could be much worse. For this, they have taken quite a bit of criticism over the years, and rightfully so. Someone at Roni must really love it though because they've had the same horrible turd of an interface now for years. The mind reels at how much more money they would make with a decent interface, and if they'd sell ASD as an AU and/or VST plug-in. Please, guys, PLEASE come into the 21st century! The folks at Roni are geniuses in pitch manipulation and complete retards otherwise. It's just not as easy to loop, have presets and so on. (An art that most musicians don't do alot of these days. You can also practice along a section of a tune by looping a section at frame accurate resolution.
