Yeah... I guess it depends on what exactly they mean by "Midi I/O"...
Kontakt really isn't that bad though. There are a lot of really good virtual instruments that use Kontakt as the sampler... like the new Alicia Keys piano VSTi for example. I think it has more to do with how well the scripting is written than Kontakt itself...
I spent $350 on Plantium last year as well, and I'm not complaining. All you dudes complaining about $50 here, $100 there...seriously, do some paid audio work for a few hours and you'll have broken even again! Mix a song for someone's crappy band and it will be a dead issue. It's really not a big deal.
- Midi I/O, some DAWs like Logic and Reaper support Midi i/o via audio channel inserts. For these particular DAWs, you will be able to use TRIGGER via Midi and also send midi from audio.

What velocity will the cock slap be? And might there be some leakage? Without knowing the answer to those questions, I'm still confident the answer is YES. Good question.
Soultrash, I've thought about your situation a bit more and I will insist that the cockslap have a definitive transient for best results

The side-chain ignore function seems great, but what happens when the drummer is playing kick/snr at the same time?
Man you guys are ragging on the folks who got EX for $20...
Ok I'll come out and say it. I bought an Ensemble and an Iron Cobra pedal from Musician's Friend during their President's Day sale. At the time they were shipping Slate EX for free with Apogee purchases.
So not only did I get it for free, I also got something ridiculous like 20% off my purchases. And because they shipped me the items individually they mistakenly sent me 2 free copies of Slate EX.
So don't hate the $20 guys. Hate me!
