PHAST is what one would call a "closed architecture".  There's no one getting 
through their door without them having a software/hardware hand in it!  I 
actually had to link CDJ/PHAST through the IR interface that PHAST supports.  
CDJ sends commands to the PHAST A/V software by looking like a PHAST IR 
remote which is totally programmable within the PHAST software.  Likewise, 
PHAST sends commands to CDJ by emulating a SONY Changer IR that triggers 
events.  Mean while PHAST has all the changers defined with all the CD info 
loaded in it to enable the LCD keypad display. Not the way I would have 
chosen, but it does work.  It would have been nice if PHAST would have 
allowed for some type of appl-appl communication, I could have then dedicated 
another 6 months trying to get it working as advertised (from a PHAST 
perspective).
