14th September 1999 - Continuing the flow of updates, I have added a review of AudioMulch. I did have one up before but somehow I lost the file so I rewrote it.

13th September 1999 - I have just added a review of Dream Station and updated the intro page.

13th September 1999 - I have just installed a hit logger on my website and seeing the large number of hits to this page I have decided to start maintaining it for a while. There will be quite a few updates over the next few days.

8th September 1999 - In case it isn't obvious, this page is no longer being updated. I don't have the time to keep it current but hopefully some of the information will still be of use. The rate of progress has slowed down a lot since I started the site - though there are a few new software synths, my favourites are still Generator and Rebirth (though VAZ Modular also gets an honourable mention). New soundcards like Pulsar with onboard DSP processing may push things forward but I think these are still immature - one Pulsar is roughly equivalent in DSP to a Pentium 300....a bit out-dated and the new Athlons look like they will be superb for audio processing.

13th March 1998 - Updated ObjektSynth review and screenshot. (first commercial version has been released)

11th March 1998 - Updated Nord Modular review, updated introduction page (added links), added reviews of Orangator and ModSynth.
