Native Instruments has launched a Kontakt 3 crossgrade offer for owners of the now deceased GigaStudio. From now until December 31st 2008, owners of any version of Tascam GigaStudio can get Kontakt 3 for a reduced price of $279 / EUR 249. I wonder what took them so long.

OK, nowhere near a comment for this post but I just read this. Bring me up to speed (really) wasn’t John Oram mister Trident? Whatever: read this!
Trident name returns to company founder
After some years of negotiations, it has been announced that PMI Audio UK have acquired “the trademark rights, intellectual property rights, goodwill and assets of Trident Audio Developments”.
The move sees the brand back with the company’s founder Malcolm Toft, who will continue to develop new designs under the Trident name. Commenting on the purchase, Malcolm Toft stated “Trident has always enjoyed a very high reputation for its products both from a reliability as well as technical point of view. Also, because my background is as a recording engineer, it has a very good understanding of the operational and ergonomic aspects of recording consoles together with an ability to design equipment that on critical listening tests is very pleasing to the ear.”
intellectual property is not really respected in most countries in asia where piracy is so rampant..::
