I would say the chances are good MX4 is a dead product.

Several people posted in the main forum that MX4 is now 64-bits and part of DP9.

I don't know if this has been 100% confirmed as an official announcement or just what was seen flash by during a demo.

There's usually the disclaimer that nothing is guaranteed; technical glitches can happen and slow down development, and there have been times in the past where MOTU or others have shown something at NAMM but it didn't materialize, or was delayed (e.g. point release).

Hopefully no confidentiality was broken by the announcement by NAMM attendees in the DP forum. When I go to NAMM (and it's been awhile), I usually assume anything I see or hear is to be kept to myself. Not sure if that's still the policy; I've heard the show is HUGE this year (and so many people I know are going, who have no connection to retail or the industry).
