Nov 20, 2006 7:20 PM
Native Instruments has announced that demo versions of Massive and FM8 are available now. Massive is a flexible software synthesizer that has unique sonic character and a highly accessible interface. Based on a new high-resolution audio engine, Massive combines advanced Wave-Scanning synthesis with a wealth of sound-shaping and modulation options, resulting in a high-end sound full of warmth, punch, character and definition.
FM8 is the long-awaited successor of the popular FM7 software synthesizer. With an enhanced high-resolution audio engine, intelligent sound morphing, added performance features and a new Kore-compatible preset manager, the FM8 makes the timeless and highly expressive musical potential of FM synthesis available in a thoroughly modernized instrument that fits easily into today's studio and stage setups.
The demo versions of Massive and FM8 are based on the latest 1.0.1 versions, which bring several enhancements and optimizations, and are now available as updates for registered users on the NI Website.

Native Instruments also released Guitar Rig 2.2, an update for its award-winning digital-guitar studio. The new version includes three additional modules emulating some of the most sought-after classic guitar effects and brings compatibility with Intel-based Macs.
The new components in Guitar Rig 2.2 include the "Harmonic Synthesizer," a sophisticated effect that uses the guitar signal to trigger an analog-synthesizer circuit; the "Electric Lady," a faithful re-creation of a classic flanger unit; and the "Phaser Nine," an authentic emulation of one of the most popular modulation effects in the history of rock music.
The 2.2 update for Windows and Mac is now available as a free download for all registered users of Guitar Rig 2 on the NI Website.
For installation on a Intel-based Mac, a Universal Binary license code can be purchased for $29 in the NI Online Shop. Customers who first registered Guitar Rig 2 after Sept. 12, 2006, are eligible for a free Universal Binary license code.
