Originally debuted at Frankfort Musik Messe Native Instruments have just announced the world wide release of a range of new software instruments emulating the sounds of three classic keyboards. Sold individually or as a package the new series reproduces the classic sounds of B4 tone wheel organ, the infamous PRO-53 and the poptastic FM7. Aimed more or less squarely at the entry level home user each instrument comes with a versatile selection of presets with the limited control over the most useful parameters.
Available for download the individual instruments are 39 euros with the package of all three being a somewhat better deal at 79 euros.

Just a week after the release of Core Audio driver 6.5, Digidesign just posted a new 6.5.1 version of its multi client driver. Unfortunately the 6.5 version was not the good one, and a lot of users reported bugs. The new version fixes some bugs, in particular with audio routing in Logic.
The Digidesign Core Audio Driver 6.5.1 is a free (fortunately...) download.
