VirSyn adds its powerful singing synthesizer to the growing list of apps that have jumped onto the CoreMIDI bandwagon, and thank goodness. The company has also brought individual filter band adjustment, pitch quantisation for the onscreen keyboard, polyphonic retriggering, a new delay effect and a number of bugfixes.

Yet another update, this time to the sample and sequencing powerhouse known as Sample Lab. There’s a new effect in the form of a reverb processor, a new sample browser and vastly expanded MIDI controller support. You can now use Akai MPDs and Korg’s nanoPad out of the box. Most impressive to us, however, is the addition of MIDI note, beat, clock and stop/start output.
