Music Hardware : The Ragzpol MIDI Controller - macmusicThe keyboardist Ragz Tuttle has created a new instrument that brings fresh methods of playing to musicians. His creation, the Ragzpol MIDI Controller, wraps a standard keyboard around a visually striking acrylic pole, using the music theory of the circle of fifths to arrange the keys in a unique spiral pattern.

The Ragzpol MIDI Controller spans three octaves, is polyphonic, and can be connected to any external MIDI keyboard or sound module.

Plug-ins : ProTools 6 now VST and VSTi compatible! - macmusicA revolution is happening in the world of Plug-ins and Digidesign users. FXpansion, a young but talented UK-based company, previously released a VST to AU (AudioUnits) Adapter, which some macmusicians have found to be more stable than official AudioUnit versions of some VST plug-ins.

They are now back, with the 'VST to RTAS Adapter', a software converter that allows use of any of the hundreds of VST effects plugins and virtual instruments plugins (VSTi) available for OSX, directly in Protools 6. It supports all the VST2 standard features including sample accurate timing, parameter automation, automatic tempo synchronization, easy browsing of presets, and it even works with DSP cards like TC PowerCore or Mackie's UAD1.

The VST to RTAS Adapter converts any OSX VST plug-in (Carbon or Mach-O formats) into an RTAS plugin for Protools 6 (OSX). Mac OS9 VST plugins are not supported. The VST to RTAS Adapter is available via download at the FXpansion Online Shop for $99.
