Modartt releases a Walter pianoforte add-on
Modartt has released a add-on for their Pianoteq plug-in. Unlike many piano VI’s, Pianoteq is not samplebased and constantly gets updated with new ‘instruments’. The latest in line is a virtual copy of a Walter pianoforte, Vienna, ca 1790 belonging to Paul Badura-Skoda.

Videos of new M-Audio controller and McDSP
I just finished watching this video of every protoolers big cuddle bear Phil Jackson showing the new M-Audio Axiom Pro. I’m actually tempted by this (the controller, not Phil Jackson).
