KeyToSound, a software instrument technology developer and manufacturer, today announced NEXSYN, a "revolutionary hybrid instrument" which combines sample based key-map playback with an advanced synthesizer engine. NEXSYN is the first software instrument of its kind to offer NetNotes, a preset sharing technology that enables users to upload, audition and download presets directly from its interface in your favorite host sequencer. On top of that, an exclusive 4GB sample library was crafted by Big Fish Audio specifically for NEXSYN.
NEXSYN will be available in AU, VST, RTAS formats and as a stand alone instrument for Mac OS X in February 2007 (?!) for a suggested retail price of $339.

Moog has announced a major operating software enhancement for Tribute owners.
New features in the operating software include :
- Modulation bus enhancement includes new sources for noise and sample & hold
