BitHeadz is now shipping Unity 3 Session, a Mac-only version of its product that combines and expands upon Unity DS-1, Osmosis, and Retro AS-1. Version 3.0's plug-in architecture allows the combination of sampling, synthesis, and physical modeling, with extensive real-time audio manipulation features. Multi-synthesized sounds, now called 'Instruments,' can be edited and later accessed by third party sequencers via MIDI. It also offers playback of samples loaded into RAM while simultaneously streaming larger samples off the hard drive and will now detect MAS, VST, RTAS, or DirectConnect set-ups automatically and configure itself appropriately. It is $650 and is available for Classic and OS X.
