Apple discreetly updated today the Airport Extreme to a new design like the Mac mini and the Apple TV and to the preview version of the IEEE 802.11n standard. The IEEE 802.11n bring up to 5 times more bandwidth and twice the range than previous g standard. This standard is supported by most Macs Apple sells today out of the box (use the enabler to access n standard). Note that not much is told about the future official "n" finalized standard save they work on total interoperability with Intel, Broadcom and Atheros, we can expect Apple waited until the pre-n chip were 100% final "n" compatible.
n-able macs:
- iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo (except 17-inch, 1.83GHz iMac)
- MacBook with Intel Core 2 Duo
- MacBook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo
- Mac Pro with AirPort Extreme card option
(other models wil work with a, b and g standards)
AraldFX has announced the release of DKS, a virtual instrument dedicated to drum synthesis. DKS was born after three years of studying the classic analogue drum machines, which were able to produce convincing drums sounds by simple electronic means. This synthesizer can accurately emulate many of the classic electronic drum machine sounds, but through its extra FM and the physical drum shell modeling can go much further, even giving an interesting acoustic touch to synthesized sounds. The built-in intelligent randomizers can give new life to your drums tracks. You can generate totally new sounds with a mouse click and hear them while your song is playing.
Main Features:
* 8 polyphonic generators with a powerful sound
* Each generator has: 3 oscillators, FM, Distortion, Bit Reducti ...
