Radial Engineering Ltd. announces the StageBug SB-1, an ultra-compact direct box designed to fit inside the string pocket of a guitar case!

Designed primarily for acoustic guitars, the StageBug SB-1 is an ultra compact active direct box that measures less than 2" wide x 3.85" long x and only 1.3" high. (5.1 cm x 9.8 cm x 3.3 cm) and is powered using standard 48V phantom power.

The patented rubber less FLK Light Sensor Technology developed especially for our LACHNIT FLK keyboards is a real improvement for dynamic keyboards and unique on the market.

The light sensors measure the speed of the key driven "Hammer" not the speed of the key itself. So timing of key movement to striking point (sound on set) is improved. That's more authentic to the characteristics of a Concert Grand action.

There are no rubber contacts under the keys. So you don't have to press strange materials with your sensitive fingers. You have much more sense for the so important last third of the key travel and you will not exhaust so fast. Light sensors work much more accurate.

Virsyn announce the release of native 64 bit Mac OS X versions of the following FX plugins:

- BARK The Multiband Filter
- FDELAY The Rhythmizer
- PRISM The Pitch Designer
- REFLECT The Algorithmic Reverb
- TDESIGN The Transient Former
- VTAPE The Analog Tape Suite.
