Be interesting to see a rackmount version of Dimension, though I imagine it would be very expensive since the hardware would need to handle the stuff that's now handled by your computer.
Personally, I wouldn't really want it. I used to prefer rackmount equipment over software synths, but now I'm loving how much more space I have on my desk when everything is handled within the computer itself. No more mixers, reverbs boxes, sound modules, cables, etc. And for the first time in years, my outlets aren't all hogged up with that stuff! The other advantage I find with software synths is that it's much easier to edit sounds. I never really bothered doing much sound editing on my old hardware synths because they all had tiny screens and annoying knobs. Being able to use the mouse and view everything on a proper monitor is so much better.
The downside, of course, are the occasional dropouts from CPU overload. Yeah, I know tracks can be frozen to solve that problem, but it's a bit of a nuisance anyway.
Anyway, good luck with your request!
