instant sample-to-synthesizer Reaktor Ensemble Skanner (free) algorithmicalizes samples

you need to register, but it’s free. this is a synth, that samples a sounds (looks like it is sort of algorithmically?) so you can say it instantly samples any sound and „converts“ it into something playable without being a real audio sample actually. sounds strange? the last time I heard about things like this was, when Technos Acxel Digital Synthesizer  was released – but does not look exactly like it – don’t know what „they“ have used (Stefan Schmitt, the founder of NI programmed it).  – so maybe try it out .. SKANNER  ok,…

Logic @ App Store – Logic Pro X coming?

Apple is kind of strange, from now they sell Logic Pro 9 for 150€ and Main Stage 2 for 24€, of course it’s smaller (430MB). So Logic X might be one step closer, and since they actually SELL Logic Pro 9 it looks a LOT like a completely new non compatible Logic Pro X coming sooner or later.
