EASTWEST has teamed up with legendary studio console maker Solid State Logic to present the SSL/EW FX Suite, a collection of professional audio processing tools for use inside the EASTWEST PLAY 4 software. The SSL audio processing tools provide the superior precision, advanced feature set and legendary tonal characteristics of SSL console products. These tools allow musicians to achieve professional compositions that sound like a record.
The foundations of the SSL collection are adaptations of two SSL console classics. The EQ & Dynamics Channel plug-in provides an EQ & Dynamics processing solution with all the power, precision, flexibility and signature tone of an SSL console channel strip. The legendary Stereo Compressor gives users the classic SSL stereo compressor that brings power and punch to the music without compromising clarity. The Transient Shaper is a 'task specific', carefully selected and crafted processing tool to get outstanding drum and percussion sounds quickly and easily.

Nektar have upgraded their DAW support and extended the range of directly controllable Plugins and Rack Extensions.
NEW VST PLUG-IN MAPS FOR CUBASE/NUENDO
Nektar's quest to map every VST plug-in known to man continues! They have added another 54 insert and instrument maps to the collection, each carefully handmapped at Nektar HQ, so you don't have to.
These maps not only give you tactile control but also in many cases improve the user experience over the software GUI. Take for example Xhun Audio's LittleOne where you now can select the effect you want right from Panorama's Instrument home page, plus you don't have to click on a parameter to adjust it. Or the Sound Tower editors that already give great control over Dave Smith synths. You can now control the parameters right from your Panorama keyboard or control surface including arpeggiation and sequencing!
REASON Rack Extensions SUPPORT UPDATE
Great new Rack Extensions have been launched recently for Reason and we finally have an update ready. It includes the Korg Mono/Poly and the updated version of Propellerheads own PX7.
