Yes it seems incredible but NVidia did it with the release of a new graphic card : the Quadro NVS 420. This card allows you to hook up to four screens on your favorite computer either for MAO or Film editing. This card features two GPU allowing to control four 30" screens with a resolution of 2560 x 1600.
In theory you can plug 4 cards in your favorite computer, you end up with 16 screens, enough to cover the walls of your bedroom ;o)

Toontrack Music starts shipping the newly announced Jazz EZX for EZdrummer this week.
The Jazz EZX features samples performed by the legendary Drum Virtuoso/Pioneer Roy "Futureman" Wooten. Roy's ground breaking percussion technique takes playing drums way beyond just simple time keeping. His approach to his craft is a much more all-encompassing and universal one. He views himself as a storyteller playing music to reach beyond the limits of common musical understanding. His recordings for the Jazz EZX, captured at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, set a bench mark for how sampling percussive instruments specifically and any musical instrument in general will be done in the future.
The Jazz EZX is available now at a price of $89/€59.
