New in stock at Sweetwater Sound: Alesis has delivered their long awaited DG8 digital piano. The 64 voice expandable unit sports an excellent sounding speaker system and a terrific 88 note weighted keyboard. Retail price $2499.
TC Works is developing an update to Spark, their digital audio editor for MacOS. We mentioned this in our recent AES report, but neglected to note that among its improvements is the ability to use the master section as either a VST or MAS plug-in, which will give MAS users access to all VST plug-ins. This could be pretty huge for all of the 2408/1224 users out there.
