Out of interest, I have installed the last OSX Sounddiver Beta on my MacBook Pro running Leopard and it's all working pretty well. I have been using Galaxy for years on my OS9 machine for the occasional patch librarian stuff. Sounddiver seems quite good, if a little over complex at first. It's a real pity that Apple have suspended development on this. I imagine the Autolink feature would be of great use to many people. It's a pity. functionality similar to Opcodes system of OMS for MIDI setups Galaxy for Patch Libraries and Vision for sequencing used to work well. How is that in 1995 I had all my modules perfectly described in Galaxy and subscribed to Vision so all my hardware synths banks and names came up correctly in my seqeuncer without me having to type a single letter, and yet in 2008 in Logic Pro 8 I still have to type it all in manually, or copy and paste it from somewhere. Surely Apple could integrate some of Sounddiver into Logic to save us the hassle of this. Sometimes the good ideas die young, a la Avid/Digidesign AudioVision.... I'm sure Apple doesn't care. They're trying to make all hardware synths obsolete so why would they want to support the past? After playing around with Logic 8 for a while and initially being pretty impressed by the built in softsynths, my opinion is still that the sound quality / presence / warmth and immediate no-fuss playability of hardware synths still cannot be duplicated by softsynths. Or at least not the ones built into Logic, though they're interesting on their own. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - VINTAGE SYNTH DEALER - We buy/sell/trade Many rare & hard to find items available.
