I can vouch for the fact that Azslow's plugin and the preset he developed for the Alphatrack - with a teeny tiny bit of help from me, testing as it went along since he didn't have a device - works a charm. I use it all the time and it's literally better than the original plugin ever was - mostly identical but more flexible. With that new lease on life, as it were, the AT still a pretty cool device, even if discontinued, and I highly recommend it if you're on the fence!
