The new deal:

- OS9 and OSX compatible. The audio engine works ok under X but the graphics are a bit laging behind. That is because Arturia focused on audio first under OSX, instead of interaction with graphics. A small latency occurs but that's only under X, OS9 runs fine.

- All Storm 1.5 sound libraries are here along wityh brand new quality stuff.

- General revamp of the graphics

- An audio assistant: it builds your studio by steps, guiding you all along. You begin from 5 bases (House, Dance, Hip Hop, Reggae, Jazz) and you go to a full optimised setup. The assistant double up as a complete and clear tutorial.

- Storm Hall: a window where you can connect thru the net to collect samples in a partake folder. You can give to the community, receive from it, chat with other users, exchange Storm data. A kind of Napster of Storm for Storm.
