anybody experienced with using this? I'm looking into getting the TI snow to use with my macbook. anyone have specific experience with...

using the plug-ins in the max/msp vst~ object?
using the plug-ins in digital performer?
using the device as a coreaudio device separate from the synth functions?

on paper it looks like the thing I want to buy next... as I've played with my friend's virus and I love the sounds... but I want to get some info on the usability.
