Native Instruments today introduced SESSION HORNS, a new KONTAKT instrument that features the sound of a four-piece horn section.

Notable for its pristine and authentic sound, SESSION HORNS is designed to allow producers of all levels access to high quality horns, and includes a number of features that make it a highly creative and usable tool for a large variety of musical styles.

Predator 1.6.3 is here! The new update has newly designed 'non-aliasing' oscillators that do not lose the rich harmonic content of their waveforms or cause higher CPU usage. In fact... the cpu usage has dropped! If you thought Predator sounded good already then prepare yourselves...


Audio wise Predator is state of the art, but also preset wise it is a real beast offering over 4000 top presets in various music styles!

As implied by name, the SYNC-5 Active DIN Sync Splitter has one DIN Sync input and five DIN Sync output ports to enable users to easily connect several DIN Sync devices to one DIN Sync controlling device — without the usual problems often associated with daisy-chaining devices.

Since Roland popularised the DIN Sync interfacing standard — otherwise known as SYNC 24 — on the likes of its classic TR-808 and TR-606 drum machines, legendary 'acidic' TB-303 Bass Line, and early digital sequencers (such as the MC-4 and MC-202 MicroComposers), the SYNC-5 is primarily intended for use with such suitably-equipped, pre-MIDI Roland equipment — all of which work at 24 clocks-per-quarter note. The SYNC-5 can also work with any appropriate Korg devices at 48 clocks-per-quarter note. It cannot convert between the two, however.

Sonoma's GuitarJack Model 2 audio interface for iPhone(R), iPad(R) and iPod touch(R) is compatible with Apple's new iPhone 5, new iPod touch, iPad mini, and fourth generation iPad using Apple's Lightning to 30-pin adapter cable.

Because the lightning adapter is purely digital, GuitarJack's sound quality
remains incredibly dynamic and clear. GuitarJack connects a wide range
of instruments, microphones, and other audio hardware to iOS devices
via 1/4 inch instrument and 1/8 inch stereo mic/line inputs and an 1/8
inch stereo/line output.

Native Instruments launches a special time-limited offer on KOMPLETE AUDIO 6.

From now until December 31, all customers who purchase the critically acclaimed audio interface will receive a free download of NI's flagship instrument amplifier and effects suite GUITAR RIG 5 PRO on top. The offer is available at local retailers worldwide and at the NI Online Shop, and represents a saving of $199 / 179 EUR.
