Nothing. Just wanted to try and get ahead of the curve a little. I think I've succeeded in beating others to this topic by at least a month.

Pro Lodgick Reuende 9.7.3 already has the 128 bit drivers and has just announced the 256 bit version. PLR 11.0.0
It has already been completely bug tested and will be released Monday.
Beta testers have been amazed that it already has zero flaws.
The general comment is, "This sucker is perfect!"
So sad for MOTU.

Re: Where are the 128 bit drivers already, MOTU??!!!
And I heard of at least 3 plugin developers that have decided to completely skip 64 bit and 128 bit, and are spending the next 3 years developing 256 bit, and by the time the plugs get released, all the DAWs will have caught up - now that's forward thinking...

SERIOUSLY? I mean, you don't know? If there were 128-bit drivers---they would all be at the hospital getting their bites taking care of so they can get back to driving! 

Thank you,

I tried holding down the 1, 2 and 8 keys while booting DP, and I think it worked- the audio sounds much better..
