Aly James (qui est français) sort dans quelques jours une version 2.0 de son OB-Xtreme.

Et les possesseurs de la version 1 peuvent dès maintenant faire l'upgrade vers la version 2... pour seulement 1 euro. Si vous n'avez pas reçu la notification e-mail au cours du mois de juillet ou août (si vous avez changé d'adresse e-mail par exemple), tout est décrit là :
https://www.alyjameslab.com/obxtreme.html


Une chose importante à retenir : cette version 2 sera compatible PC et Mac, et en 64-bit.

Les évolutions depuis la version 1 sont particulièrement importantes, à tel point que ce n'est plus du tout le modeste petit plugin initial... cela devient un vrai synthé complet (cliquez sur l'image).
