April 24th, 2013 - The ultimate in software and Instrument databasing is about to get stronger and better.

You can regard Instrument Manager as the ultimate Universal Patch Finder and browser. Use it to list your favorite instruments and drag them onto your favorite software sampler!

We don't want to list the exact feature list of this minor version, because we are committing ourselves to a release-then-announce policy. Still, we do want to give you a teaser.

We are focusing a lot internally on new product videos. By this release, we will have several videos covering Instrument Manager.

One more thing, we are aiming to get all this released by Memory Day Weekend (American holiday, the weekend of May 25-27th). Typically, we schedule our work by First Trimester (ending Memorial Day), Second Trimester (summer), and Third Trimester (ending New years Day of the next year). This is the end of the First Trimesters work. Also, completion of these updates allows us to finally manufacture the CD's and ship them out.

Mapping View: We've added a mapping screen so you can see what your Instruments are made up of and where the sample references are mapped. This is similar to Translator's Instrument Screen.

Instrument Audition: You will now have the ability to audition the Instruments you catalog (if the files actually exist in your network).

Sample File Support: You can now catalog and manage your samples as well as Instruments. We know there are plenty of good sample catalogers and bulk editors, and this is the start of ours. It has basic editing features, including looping, and also the ability to launch out to external powerful editors for more rigorous editing.

New Bank Category: You can catalog Banks as well as Instruments and Samples.

Lot's Under The Hood: This includes an updated Reference Manager, faster database access, more search options, and Mountain Lion support of reading and writing proprietary drives and disks. And more!

Please understand that this update is FREE! All this work to you, it is... free.
