MiniSpillage - free drum synth for Mac OS

Here's a fun little free drum synth courtesy of AudioSpillage - MiniSpillage. Essentially a "lite" version of the upcoming DrumSpillage, it's a great tool for making some interesting percussion sounds. If you've been looking for some more out-there or deeper electronic percussion sounds, this is a good one to try out. Note that it's not modeled off of any classic analog machine, but rather just features parameters that you'd general want to have with a drum synth.

Jasuto Pro - new demos

Chris Wolfe, author of the impressive Jasuto app for the iPhone / iTouch, revealed new information about the forthcoming Jasuto Pro today in a post on the Jasuto forum. Here's the first of four demo videos:

There's an impressive laundry list of new and improved options, including a vastly improved sampler, manual patching of wires between nodes, oscillators that Wolfe promises are "nearly alias-free," an ADSR envelope node, granular synthesis (especially excited about this one!), and some other new tweaks and goodies - see the post for the full list.

Wolfe plans to submit Jasuto Pro to the App Store on December 18, though given the sluggish pace of approval these past few months, who knows what that means regarding a public release date. The app will initially cost $5 as an incentive to early adopters, before going up to $10 - steep for the App Store, but steal a huge bargain given Jasuto's capabilities.
