I agree with OP. I've already mentioned something similar. The flagship product should have these features. It's not even a question of expense, as I'd pay for the update. It's inconvenient to have to use EZd for the composition / tracking stage and switch to SD for the final sound, and even more so when you consider the EZ kits have les pieces and less dynamics, it means your parts will never sound the same when you switch to SD 2.0 and you still end up making final adjustments in your DAWs piano roll. Those of us who have reasonably powered pcs can use SD through the compositional and tracking stages at extremely low latency and mix as we go. Saves a whole lot of time. but you STILL want those compositional features and midi editing features from EZd. I have even toyed with the idea of ditching SD 2.0 and using only EZd2 for the sake of convenience but there is a very noticeable gap in realism between the 2. Superior IS superior and not just by a slim margin.
I have faith that TT will make us SD users happy
