Native Instruments is offering a deal to musicians and producers looking to use this summer to make the switch from hardware to software and expand their creative horizons. The complete software collection for 999 Euros (That's a savings of 65% off the total list value. ). Limited to 100 units and available immediately only in the NI Online Shop....

What's in the box: REAKTOR 4 - ABSYNTH - VOKATOR - KONTAKT - BATTERY - B4 - FM7 - PRO-53 - NI-SPEKTRAL DELAY - TRAKTOR DJ Studio 2.0 - ...

Have a nice music summer ;-)

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.
