The native OSX Audio Units and VST plug-ins are now available for Atmosphere, Trilogy and Stylus on the Updates page. This is another free upgrade from Spectrasonics.

It seems that after the availability of Majors owned music in the iTunes Shop, Apple is meeting the independant labels to distribute them the same way.

At least there will be some good stuff in the iTunes Shop then ;-)

And Independants will be -I hope- on an equality level as the other stuff. Now... and if the shop was available to the rest of the world now? uh?

Access Music GmbH, the company behind the award winning Virus synthesizer series has lowered the price for the 19" rack versions of their synthesizers. Thorsten Matuschowski, CFO of Access Music says "The worldwide success of the Virus rack series has enabled us to utilise advanced manufacturing methods. The result is a significantly lower price without sacrificing the quality".

The new prices are:
- Virus rack classic 795 euros- EURO (250e. savings)
- Virus rack XL 1295 euros (200e. savings)

The VS 2480 users will appreciate... this new version adds Control Surface functionality (HUI emulation). Great improvement indeed, you can now drive your favorite sequencer with it.

The 5.1 version is now available for Mackie D8B consoles. Download is completely free for all the version 5 owners.
Featuring :
- UseV3 Style EQ : A "Use V3 Style EQ" preference has been added to the Mix Options window. This global setting is saved with the session and allows complete backward compatibility with version 3 sessions.
- HUI Mode Improvements : Cut, Copy, Paste, and Shift/Add buttons were added to the HUI layer since Build 427, and Undo was moved to the Undo button. More functional buttons are now displayed.

Price $299.
