  2. Akai MPC Fly  - a virtual MPC workstation for the ipad
  3. Borderlands - a new take on granular synthesis
  4. Csound Touch - a multitouch version of the Csound computer music language
  5. Impakton - an acoustically controlled, physical modeling percussion synth
  6. PPG WaveGenerator – a new wavetable synth, created by Wolfgang Palm
  7. Waldorf NWave – another wavetable synthesizer, inspired by the early PPG synths
