MakeMusic, the famous soft editor of Finale, announce a new version for Mac OS X that will be available on october 20th 2003. Finale will get new functionalities : CoreMidi support, and ability to save scores in PDF format.

Gleetchplug it is actually developing a weird virtual copy of famous and mesmerizing EMS SYNTHI A, brother of blood of the more glitterstar "VCS3".

As usual the virtual synth plugin (now called Plasma A) will be usable on Apple PPC with OS 9.x in VST/RTAS/MAS environments with Basic MIDI implementation AND also as a stand alone patch for MAX/MSP Runtime Environment.
Plugin version requires again Pluggo Runtime (downloadable for free from Cycling74.com). Pacth requires MAX/msp runtime (free with the demo). Patch & Plugins require also at least a screen resolution of 1280x850.

Development is now in pre-alpha, chances to try a beta-test in late september, of course for free. (still the final version will be absolutely free as usual).
