Yeah. Behringer did the same thing with the Ultra-dyne Pro. They stated that software to manage the device would be available. Then, when it became available, it was stated that an eprom burn had to be accomplished with new software before the 'gui' could be used. Seems like a lot of trouble and expense to me.
