A new beta Vsti version is on the verge to be tested with ARTURIA : An emulation of the CS80 Yamaha. It looks pretty and seems to have a great sound (possible comparison with the Moog Modular).

I'd like to introduce myself to everyone here on MacMusic.org as the new English Editor-in-Chief. Since its founding as the first major site to be devoted to Mac musicians, MacMusic has grown to be the largest and most comprehensive resource on the web for music, and, just as importantly, the only completely bilingual site. We think it can get even better, and what better time to expand the site than a time when the Mac is reaching a new era for digital music, as Apple finally embraces us as one of its core markets. You may have read the site I started in June, musiconmac.com. I'm happy now to take some of the plans forged on that site to this one, and welcome my readers from musiconmac here. Over the coming months, I'll be posting more news, more reviews, more interviews, and more tutoria ...

I would like to welcome Peter Kirn, founder of the young but already great MusicOnMac.com website. We decided to combines our forces to dramatically boost the english side of MacMusic.

Peter, will be in charge of the english news (which layout should improve soon) as well as Articles, Review, interview and so on.. As a NYC resident, his english should be far better than mine ;) and far better than our translators team.

We expect Peter to continue the wonderfull job that he started with MOM, now at MacMusic with a larger audience, structure and a team to help him. He will shortly tell you more...

Welcome Peter! :)
