New York based RoGame Software announces the release of ChordLab for Mac OS X. After a very long hiatus ChordLab is finally back on the Mac and better than ever.

ChordLab is a unique music application that tackles advanced concepts in harmony. So beware - this is not the generic chord-book app that guitar players use to look up a diagram for an E or A chord. ChordLab deals with harmony as a whole. Instead of displaying two or three diagrams for that E chord ChordLab puts it all into context.

The EDM Synth Bundle and the Urban Synth Bundle each includes three Rob Papen synths and saves around 45%, but don't wait around as there's only 100 available!

You'll find over 215MB of the most frenzied, fatalistic Dubstep loops ever to survive a nuclear fallout.

From saw-toothed basslines, thundering drum loops and carnivorous synth leads to earth shattering drum one-shots and FX, "Dubstep Apocalypse" will put the power in your tracks to take control of the wasted dancefloor!

The SB-5 features an integral 1.5 meter (5ft) cable terminated in a 3.5mm (1/8) connection for laptops, tablets and personal music players that is secured in place with a compression fitting.

The cable is neatly wrapped and safely stored away using the sidewinder cable cleat. Connection from the source device is usually done using headphone output. Inside the SB-5, two transformers deliver full stereo operation. The transformers perform the balancing while assisting in reducing noise by isolating the input from the output to eliminate hum and buzz caused by ground loops.
