It kind of exists now but way back before it was a thing I wanted a drum module that can load your own samples libraries without a computer, I had this idea since they came out with Superior Drummer (the original not the current one). Now I don't mind using a computer live since I have played many times for hours at a time without a single computer issue, using not only the software but also a daw, a couple of open web pages and other miscellaneous apps open all at the same time and never had even the slightest issue. I of course going live would disable windows sounds and alerts, and would only have the drum software open and no internet connection, so I am pretty confident that I would be ok. but if I didn't have to use a computer, I could just have a module that I can say have an SSD bay where I can put the entire Superior Drummer on one drive, maybe have other drives for say.. Steven Slate Drums, or Mondo Drums.. I am aware that you can load some samples to the Alesis module and some other modules, but loading sample vs having a full fledged Drum VST is a whole different thing... I guess a man can dream. a And why would anyone buy Pearl Mimic when you can have Steven Slate 5 and a much cheaper module? (unless you want the not have a computer present scenario but you can also use the Alesis to load those samples), I am not sure if you could load the entire SSD5 though..
