The legendary Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios, would be part of the Sony corporation. Sony has made an offer of 12$ by share for a total of 2.93 billion dollars, and will clean up the 2 billion $ debt. They give a deposit of 150 million of dollars. The final decision will occur before September 27th.
The bad news is that it will make Sony bigger in the multimedia industry and it will be more difficult for little companies to compete with a giant like this. It will also be more difficult for companies like Apple who try to have another distribution mode. And for independents and artists, they will have to negotiate according to the Sony rules.

The French importer of the RME Fireface informs us that the Mac driver for its inteface won't be available in Europe before early October...here goes the whole answer by Arbiter :
"Concerning the Mac drivers, RME said : not before early October. By the way I have been told off by the manufacturer because they said I annoy them about this driver every day. Sorry for the delay, we have written new ads at every single retailer's to warn the customers that this driver is not available yet. You need to know that unsatisfied customers can be refunded if they bring their full package back to their vendor."
ps clouvel : note that the email address for technical support is : support@synthax.de (international support), george@synthax.com (for the USA) and support@synthax.nl (for the Benelux : the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg).

RTGS-X by LowNorth is a Real-Time Granular Synthesizer that can be used to generate brand new sounds or to manipulate and distort existing sounds. It is very useful in generating dense sonic textures, which can evolve quickly or over long periods, to create alien soundscapes. It is also useful for creating short sound effects or sonic motives, which could be used in musical or theatrical situations.
