Week of July 2, 2006 Tuesday, July 4 2006 | dmac Synapse Audio Releases Orion Platinum Version 7   Synapse Audio has released Version 7.0 of Orion Platinum, its music production suite for the Windows platform. Version 7 is a major overhaul of Orion - the user interface has been completely redesigned, the workflow has been optimized and many features have been added. New features include the Toxic III, the successor of the award-winning Toxic synthesizer introduced in the former version of Orion. The AD-1 distortion effect added authentically reproduces the sound of a guitar stomp box by simulating analog circuits in realtime. Apart from new features, a collection of multisampled patches and drumkits for Orions Sampler and DrumRack module round off this update.
