The Kiwitechnics Patch Editor has a ridiculous price tag of $450 (or so). I accomplished the same thing with my APC40 and Bome's MIDI translator (total cost was $225). Even the Kenton Control Freak is ultra-rare and does the same task for quite a bit less money (if you can find one).
How much does this iDW8000 software cost? Is it cheaper than a hardware solution?
