Flying Haggis: a rare and much sought-after Scottish creature. Those lucky enough to spot this shy little animal are filled with a sense of pride and happiness. Not a coincidence if this legend became the inspiration for db audioware's latest and finest virtual guitar amp, which is said to produce similar feelings in those who play it.
The Flying Haggis will be landing imminently. From 3rd December, registered owners of any previous db audioware guitar amps (including Quantum FX) can download Flying Haggis beta version by logging into their personal support page. More info coming soon...

EXPANSE is a collection of multi-sampled 24bit waveforms that can be played as instruments, used as drones, or to create tonal beds. Some touching on the traditional, others exploring the surreal or etherial, but never too close to the mundane, and never too far away that they loose the listeners connection.
All patches are programmed with modulation wheel support. 1 gigabyte of 24bit multisamples make up the 128 Instrument Patches and 79 Multi Patches. All instrument patches are broken down into the categories: Fast Attack - Pads - String Hybrids - Vocal - Weird. Multi Patches are sorted as either Fast Attack, or Slow Attack.
Now available for the introductory price of $79 until January 1st 2008. Note that additional patches utilizing Kontakt 3 features and fixes (modulation sync) will be available, free of charge to registed users, 1st quarter 2008.

Sims Audio has just announced The AMON USB recording interface, a two channel USB interface. It features a high quality microphone preamp, a line level/instrument input, and MIDI I/O. Additionally, the AMON includes a full software package from Native Instruments including: Absynth 4, Massive, and Traktor 3 demo software.
Note that this interface is USB bus powered and requires no extra power supply or wall-wart. The lack of power supply and small size make the AMON ideal for location recording. The AMON also supports zero latency direct hardware monitoring so you can hear exactly what is coming from the recording source. A powered headphone amp is also included in the chassis and it accepts a 1/4" headphone input.
The AMON has a MSRP of $225 USD, and will be available in the 1st quarter of 2008.
