We finally have some consistent information for crazy Storm-users who so far felt abandoned by Arturia which was so busy with CS80 and ModularV, its excellent virtual synths that came out this year.
The major update just announced, will finally come to life in February 2004... This means you will need to be a little bit more patient, however I can tell you a bit about it in the meantime:
- Unlimited rack (instead of four synths and samples readers or effects)
- Import of midi files
- A better sequencer
- Piano roll for pattern and sequence editing
- new general midi instrument
- and other surprises...
Storm 3 will run under Mac Os X (which will be a minimum), so bye bye OS9. This update will cost only a few euros to registered users. Nothing is set yet about the full package's price.
