Novation presents Nocturn keyboard
Novation has added two keyboard versions of Nocturn to their list of MIDI controllers. Aside from the keyboard (a Fatar, 25 or 49 keys) Novation has also added eight drum pads and transport controls to the already available encoders, speed dial and other buttons. I wouldn’t expect it to perform well with Pro Tools. No [...]
Major server crash
As some have seen we have experienced a lot of downtime the past 24 hours and for a short period of time massive data loss as well. Fortunately most of the site has been recovered (for a while there I thought we had lost everything since August 1st!) but some of it is gone. I [...]

Elysia Mpressor plug-in coming
I bet you didn’t see this one coming: Elysia will release a plug-in version of their Mpressor. The code for it is supplied by Brainworx, which also happens to be the same guys doing the SPL Analog Code plug-ins so I expect a good emulation. Native version will be released this year with TDM to [...]
Toontrack Music announces the Electronic EZX
