The Nord Modular G2 synthesizer by Clavia is now shipping. The G2 makes modular synthesis a lot easier. It comes with up to 120 patch parameters, real-time control, internal and external audio and MIDI routing, subtractive synthesis, FM synthesis, physical modeling, vocoding, effects processing, MIDI automation.
LPM: Note that the editor will still be PC only, and Clavia is still mute on the subject of a MacOS editor. It doesn't mean there won't be one one day, but don't count on it in the near future.

Sibelius 3.1 is available as a free update for Sibelius 3.0 users. The update includes 4 new plug-ins for note color, harmonics playback, and removing overlapping notes, 16 new instruments, a new "Unregister Sibelius" feature that (finally!) allows moving licenses between computers without typing any numbers, major improvements to PhotoScore scanning software, OS X speed improvements and scroll wheel support, and many improvements and bug fixes. The download, or even a replacement hybrid CD-ROM, is available free to registered users.
The biggest news for OS X users, however, is that Kontakt Silver, the high-quality sampled instruments by Native Instruments bundled with Sibelius 3.0 for Windows, is now available on Mac OS 9 and OS X for download.

Voice of the GoatCactus is an application that lets you create original "music" with "the click of a button", even if you have no musical training. You can use the demo version to create studios and bands, listen to their music and make modifications. If you pay the license fee, you can save the music you've created, as entire studios or individual bands, or export the music as MIDI files. All music is royalty-free.
You can download a demo version of Voice of the GoatCactus or buy the 30 euros licence.
