The Wavebreaker Audio Unit by Audiofield is now updated to run in Tiger. The version number is 2.0a1, so it's an alpha version. Some new polynomials has been added along with a Preshaper and a Postshaper section to control the level going into and out from the main waveshaper.

Expert sleepers announced an update to version 1.0.2 in both Audio Units and VST for Minky Starshine, in order to fix several bugs. Minky Starshine is at heart an additive synthesiser, augmented with possibilities for subtractive synthesis (i.e. filtering) and pulse width modulation. A waveform is created by summing 16 independently controllable 'partials'. By setting the relative levels of the partials appropriately you can create familiar waveforms such as sawtooth and squarewave, but you can also create an infinite range of timbres in between.

Cycling '74 has updated Max MSP and Max/MSP runtime to version 4.5.5. This update of MaxMSP adds new editing features (Templates, Shortcuts, Clippings, Prototypes), changes to Patcher Selection of Text Objects, adds new Max/MSP Objects (jstrigger ; mxj~ ; slide) and fixes several minor bugs.

Scarbee has just released version 1.2.1 of Vintage Keyboard FX plug-in. This update fixes several bugs : AU version now gets saved and restored with the AU host song, AU version now correctly loads Presets, AU version has been briefly tested with Logic v6.x, and other minor fixes.

Note that a demo version is also available.
