Hi bassvirtuoso,
I can't promise an exact release date, but Jesse told me he's aiming to have a beta version available next week.
I initially became interested in SA from these threads. The sound quality and the support you guys provide is top notch. I was saving to buy a Manta and my wife suprised me and got it for my birthday, so now I guess I'll take the money and buy the Hub or the OFD, hahaha.... I messed with the Manta last night for about an hour and I'm totally digging it!! Looking forward to the Hub Manager!
