Yep, simultaneous performance of audio instruments like the ESX24 would be
great for drums - but this feature would be desirable even for just
splitting and layering melodic instrument parts. 

Currently you can't get more than one audio instrument to respond to
unrecorded midi input simultaneously so the splits and layers any midi
module/sampler will perform are not possible. 

I also really miss the range settings which audio instrument parameter
boxes lack. I often record two parts simultaneously using a split patch eg
bass and synth. I then copy the recorded sequence and send the range on
each side of the split to  separate instruments using the range parameters
in the part boxes for each copy. This is not possible with audio
instruments as they lack the range parameters so you need to remove the
notes you don't want manually in an editor window.
