OUTI, a realtime tool for live loops reording and manipulation, is now available in version 1.31. The new version fixes bugs and introduces a manual sync option. It also includes a manual in English. OUTI is a freeware so help yourselves.
Ed: Makes me want to switch my TiBook 400 to OS 9 to run this and Cosmo live, side by side with my 17" PB on OS X. -PK

WormHole 1.1 by Apulsoft is an Audio Unit that can transmit audio via TCP/IP between applications or to send audio between multiple computers. The new version 1.1 is AudioUnit and VST Mac OS X compatible and works with Ethernet, Firewire or Airport / Wi-Fi. A demo version of WormHole 1.1 is available on dowload and the full version costs 25 euros.
Ed: We'll give this a test. Granted Software's iMIDI had a similar mission but hasn't so far gotten beyond prerelease testing stages, because of the difficulty of developing this sort of software. Let's see how both work. -PK

Akai has (finally) announced the OS X version of ak.sys. ak.Sys for OSX allows you to completely control your Akai Z4/8 or MPC4000 from any OS X Mac computer via USB. Even the S5/6000 are supported in this new release. More informations and screenshots on the Akai website.
Ed: What's in the water this week? It's like all our OS X wishes are suddenly coming true -- perhaps because Panther convinced developers to push their efforts? Enjoy! -PK

M-Audio has announced new Mac OS X drivers for its USB audio interfaces are now available: the USB Omnistudio, Mobile Pre USB, and USB Duo drivers. Drivers are available for download from the support section of the M-Audio web site. Ed: users of these interfaces will be much relieved. I continue to have good luck with my M-Audio 410; these guys have some great, inexpensive audio interfaces out there. -PK| M-Audio Drivers Download | 2 users'comments |
