* no real-time CD recorder (i have a somewhat working prototype)
* no "chromed-GUI" extensible/modular software synthesis
(quasimodo was a start)
* no s/w samplers like Halion or Gigasampler
* many significant DSP plugins missing, despite steve harris' amazing
efforts
* no loop-based+edit stuff like Acid (spiral loops is cool, but doesn't
really do editing and is 100% loop-driven)
* no jamman/echoplex-like real-time looping devices
