Emagic announces version 6 of the Logic Series. This update provides a new level of processor efficiency and extensive enhancements to the Arrange window that offers more editing and mixing power than before.
In addition, Logic 6 debuts two new setup and file management solutions: the Setup Assistant and the Project Manager. Users will also benefit from an improved feature set for film scoring, a newly-developed sounding EQ and MP3 import/export functionality. Further optimization of the automation system round out this update.
For the happy few who have come to buy a Neuron, Hartmann just released after the Neuron synth the MODELmaker software. This free utility let you arrange, prepare, playback, multilayer different standard formats of samples and render a model for use into the Neuron engine. You can also choose different model sets, arrange specific parameters for a model and load everything into the resynators of the Neuron.
OS 9 and X for the moment, needs a USB connection.
Cycling'74 RadiaL is an extensible loop-based composition and performance tool designed for Macintosh users looking to explode the boundaries between live performance, sound design, and composition.
You can play around with tempo, pitch and sample cut-up with an extensive list of possible performance devices (control surfaces, MIDI, keyboard, mouse, step sequencers, real-time modulation generators). radiaL also supports multi-channel audio I/O with ASIO and hosts VST plug-in effects.
Akai release a virtuel sampler in VST (PC) and AudioUnit (asap) so it will be OS X only. 24/96, 64 voices per instance, 16 virtual audio out, samples triggered from RAM OR disk, the VZ8 is almost the same as Aaki hardware flagship the Z8.
Actually in beta (they need some beta testers, go on the site) this new sequencer is modular and has live musicians in mind. You can choose the events generators as you wish (analogue style sequencer, gate sequencer), use converters (from midi, CC, pitch bend… to midi, CC, pitch bend…). Arrange them and link them as you wish to route events from one element to an other. You have also groups, presets, mix groups to store, automate and facilitate the use of the tracks (mutes, solos, on/off…). A track sequencer give you an overall look over the whole piece.
Numerology will be available on the Net in February for 50$, a preview will be available at the end of January, and remember, they need betatesters (follow the link)

Supports Akai S1000/3000 sound disks, Wav
Sonomic, the premier provider of sound library management solutions, today announced that its Total Library Server (TLS) now supports Digidesign's Pro Tools 6.0 and Apple's new OS X operating system.
TC Electronic release Reverb 4000, a 1U rack with the best reverbs (so they say, I won't argue ;) from System 6000 and M5000, plus some reverb classics. Stereo, 24 bits AD/DA converters, 44.1 to 96 KHz, USB connection to the computer and ICON dedicated Mac/PC editing software, AES/EBU, S/PDIF, TOS-Link and ADAT I/Os.
The main novelty is its capability to process 2 discrete sources in space, or process truly a composite stereo.
Take 16 real analogue filters, put them into a rack with a control software in your computer and a USB connection to link it and you've got the thing.
Add the Waldorf Rot Analog Filter Step Sequencer, a pattern based step sequencer (for cutoff and resonance along dynamics).
AFB16 versions of the Waldorf PPG wave 2.V and Waldorf D-pole plugins are in developement, so there's some DSP inside too. A good alternative to a real PPG ?
It seems that Waldorf is issuing the filterbank of the Q+ in a 2U rack… As a kind of a big rackable dongle.
16 Low pass filters, 12-24 dB, with self oscillation and overdrive.
Developement kit available free from Waldorf
OS9 and OSX, USB 2.0 (with PCI card then) and 128 Mo of RAM
