Native Instruments Massive X Software Synth
Native Instruments has released Massive X, the follow up to its Massive software synth released in
2007.
The new software synth features a completely redesigned GUI and, like the original, focuses
on modulation. At the heart of Massive X is the completely new oscillator section. Users can
choose from over 170 wavetables and 10 different modes of reading them – from the aggressive
Gorilla family to a wavetable-bending mode, Hardsync, Formant, and many more – each with
their own unique sub-modes and additional controls. Two phase-modulation oscillators can be dialed in to inject extra movement into the
main oscillators.
Elsewhere, there are new filters and filter types, insert and stereo effects, and a new complex Max/MSP-style routing system to send audio
around the synth, as well as feed it back on itself.

On-Stage PS901 Pedal Power Bank
On-Stage, a division of The Music People, has released the PS901
pedal power bank. The PS901 drives a wide array of guitar effects
pedals and features nine fully-isolated, individually-LED-indicated
outputs.
Internally surge-protected, the PS901 pedal power bank also
includes a five-plug daisy chain for expandability to power up to 13 pedals. It is housed in a heavy-duty, black anodized aluminum housing and a
unit-comprehensive package of eight power cables, one reverse polarity plug, and an 18 V power supply with European conversion adapter plugs.
