The scratch tool of SL is cool, al though it could be improved. The best 
sounding scratching tool I found so far is terminatorX. Is it possible 
to control the scratch tool by hardware?

Is it possible with SL to switch between different soft synth or midi 
outputs?

The latter is possible with FW, but I didn't figure out how to do it yet...
