Audio Macintosh

NuEdge Development has released version 2.0.2 of Sonic Charge MicroTonic for Mac OS X, which is also now a Universal Binary so it is compatible with both PPC- and Intel-Macs. This upgrade is free for all registered owners; PowerPC users should upgrade since this version improves compatibility with certain PowerPC Audio Unit hosts.

Also released for free for all MicroTonic owners is Big Pack Sonic Recharge - the biggest MicroTonic patch package in the universe - a package of 168 programs and 188 drum patches.
