Does a new era begin ? Time will tell. The first OS X trojan is born. Pffff.

Apr 9 - 04:29 PM | Music Software > Native Instruments |
In the April issue of Recording Magazine's French edition, the bundled CD features a free VSTi, Carbon by Native Instrument (OS 9, OS X and PC). Carbon features four oscillators, a noise generator, a multimode resonant filter, drive FX, 4 band EQ, 2 LFOs, 2 envelopes, delay and stereo chorus, all with low CPU consumption. 100 patches for Carbon are on the CD, as well. A no-brainer at less than 6 Euros!
Ed: Anglophones, don't despair -- certainly you'll find an import in the UK and many larger booksellers here in the US carry French publications. Hit comments and let us know if you're able to track one down. -PK
