Audio Damage have released Ratshack Reverb, which is a detailed model of the Realistic Electronic Reverb that was actually an analog delay. The plug-in features all the quirks and features of this often-used but ill-named classic, including the ability to switch the inputs from line to mic, to get that great input distortion.

RatShack is available as a VST effect plug-in for OS X, and the RTAS version is coming soon. RatShack costs $29.99 USD.

LinPlug have updated the OS X version of CronoX to v2.1.1 . This new version of this sampling synth fixes compatibility problems with OS X 10.3.5, and fixes these bugs : possible lock when using parameter automation on dual-proc systems, crash when loading presets, redraw problem with file dialog and gator effect sync.

The full version of CronoX costs $59.

Remember Don Buchla and his wonderfull and esoteric synths? (I see old timers giggling at the end of the room) After releasing last year additional modules for the 200 series 20 years after the end of the line, and the Pianobar system sold by Moog Music, Don found that, well, time was ripe for another 200 modular synth. Buhla and associates sell again a brand new 200e system with 13 modules (compatible with the old 200 models), including a MIDI interface, prices are $700 to $1900 per module if you want to expand a 200 synth, full systems start at $9450.
