For all the computer music makers out there, Ultimate Sound Bank has just released their updated version of the PlugSound series (compatible with intel Macs). Now instead of having seperate plugins for each sound set, USB has consolidated the series around the new PlugSound Pro plugin instrument for which you can buy expansion packs. With a very powerful new architecture somewhat akin to the earlier Mach V on steriods with groove capability. PlugSound Pro comes decked out with an 8 Gb sample library and many high quality juicy effects to use on it’s contents. I can’t wait to dig into this.
