Hardware can't suddenly be made able to operate stand-alone by a firmware update. Stand-alone hardware has to be designed from the ground up (physical hardware changes.) If this was pre-designed to go that way, they would have released it that way and advertised it as so (because the cost of manufacturing goes up because extra memory is needed on board and processing)

I could imagine a computer dependent mixer though.
