03-23-10 / 09:16 PM : Minipad for iPhone (cjed)
A new iPhone (and iPad) application, Minipad, allows to send Midi messages to a host (Logic, etc.), through Wifi, by implementing Midi network protocol (the Midi networking feature has been available on MacOSX's CoreAudio since years, however it is lacking from iPhone's SDK). Contrary to solutions based on OSC (Open Sound Control), no server application is required on the mac side.

03-18-10 / 11:34 PM : Logic Pro and Express : 9.1.1 update (cjed)
Apple provides a 9.1.1 update to Logic Pro (downloadable here - 192 Mb, not available through Software Update) and Logic Express (139 Mb, there). Logic Express now also supports 64 bit mode and longer than 32 characters flenames. However the installer won't install the update on PowerPC : in fact when we extract the app from the package using Pacifist, we discover that it is now Intel only (not Universal Binary).
Logic Pro's 32bit Audio Unit bridge's stability has been enhanced.
