Music Software : Free Swayzak Ableton Live Pack - macmusicSwayzak, UK artisans of compelling electronica, have made an exclusive, free Live Set for you to download. In their own words:

Virtual Instrument : FXpansion D-CAM: Synth Squad Available - macmusicFXpansion has just announced the release of DCAM: Synth Squad, their brand new suite of advanced synthesizer instruments. The advanced DCAM analogue modelling technology carefully reconstructs the sound of vintage hardware on your computer at a fraction of the cost.


At the heart of DCAM: Synth Squad are three modeled synthesizers - Strobe, Amber and Cypher - bulging with the weight and power of old-skool analogue, according to FXpansion. These are no mere emulations stunted by the limitations of the past. Instead, they combine the best features from legendary machines with new and exciting ideas to drag them kicking and screaming into the modern world. Also included is Fusor, a semi-modular layering and performance environment for the DCAM synths with a high-quality FX suite, advanced step-sequencer/arpeggiator and flexible modulation.
