Re: [SoundDiver] SoundDiver dies with Lion - what to do?

I agree with you!!

Midi Synths haven't disappeared and many people still use racks so it should be either a part of Logic or the code should be put into the public domain or open source. I've told this to the local rep and he response is soft synths are the future for Apple, so getting the code from Apple maybe the only option.
