Well, I just had the demo version on an old Mac (700Mhz, G4), but it 
seemed to feel really good from the MIDIBoard.  I'll find out soon how 
the A-50 works.  I wish there would be a new poly-aftertouch controller, 
especially with the recent explosion of cool controllers from M-Audio, 
E-Mu, Alesis, and others.  However, I think it's unlikely.  There just 
not much demand for it, most synths don't respond to it, it's expensive 
to implement, and, there is (or was) an issue with some patents 
Ensonique (now E-Mu?) has. Oh well.
