More Evidence of Apple Asteroid
AppleInsider has found a hidden .tiff file within GarageBand 2 labeled "asteroid.tiff". The file appears incomplete and is unable to be opened, but can be clearly seen in the package contents.
Additionally, MacRumors readers have found within iLife '05 Install DVD/Individual Packages/Packages /GarageBandApp20.pkg/Contents/ Archive.pax.gz - Asteroid Max Volume, Asteroid Min Volume, Asteroid Slider, Select Asteroid Input and many, many others.
Asteroid is expected to be an audio "breakout box" used to connect multiple audio instruments into one midi interface. Initial rumors began in November 2004, and leaks eventually led to Apple's legal charges against multiple online rumor sites for disseminating the information.

Maybe they wanted to include it but had to pull out at the last minute due to production problems/issues?
I think I'm right in saying that asteroid is an audio interface, that you can plug loads of instruments/leads into. Its either a firewire or usb, cant remember which.

I added this to the front page, for clarity: Asteroid is expected to be an audio "breakout box" used to connect multiple audio instruments into one midi interface.

A MIDI interface? Screw that. I need XLR and TRS 1/4"

The rumored device is not just a MIDI interface, but has TRS 1/4" and XLR as well.

what does "lame" or "home user" have to do with it? maybe you don't have hardware synths and samplers, fx, and control surfaces that use midi to connect to sequencers. but lots of pro's with lots of real gear use midi as part of a complete real studio. i'm one of them.
i expect this to be a more prosumer level interface of some sorts, and i think it meant to say both audio and midi connections in a firewire based breakout box.
