Aw man, that's sad. I was just reaching for my wallet when I saw the standalone thing and I wondered if that was really the case. It looks radical, but if I can't hook it into my DAW then it's no good to me :-(
Yeah, I got the trial and it did not install any plug-ins.
I am close to buying it regardless. I plan to record various pieces which could be extensively used in the DAW for layering in post, triggering at a live gig, etc. Basically same as digitized audio from a live instrument, voice or hardware synth—slice and dice it, layer, transpose, reverse. Not as many possibilities as from a playable DAW plug-in, but still quite a few.
