VxPlug has been developed to load VST plug-ins within a host application with the ability to control them from a single user interface, as well as define the point where audio processing takes place in a flexible manner. Host parameter automation is supported.

Modartt has releases its latest add-on, free for all Pïanoteq users : a CP-80, famous electro-acoustic piano, heard on numerous recordings of the 70's-80's (from Tony Banks to Tania Maria).

The add-on offers two versions :
First, the "CP-80 original", which is an attempt to be as close as possible to the original recorded instrument.
Second, the "CP-80 restored", which is an attempt to provide a 'virtual' restoration of the instrument renewing particularly the wounded strings which lacked the brilliance from brand new strings.

The 2.2.1 update is also available, which offers a 'flat' temperament that supports tuning of certain synthesizers with octaves having exact ratio 2.

SoundBlade combines ease of use and exceptional features. Running on Mac OS X, soundBlade relies on Core Audio. The 1.2.1 release incorporates hundreds of optimizations and stability enhancements as well as several new features.

Combining Sonic Studio's benchmark premastering functionality with the signal processing, restoration and comprehensive editing, soundBlade carries an economical MSRP of $1495. The update is free for existing owners.
