It's actually designed for OS4, But a 68k Demo is available to download from the website.

Hope that helps

Thanks :-) I will try it out

How about any decent softsynths?

I mainly still use OctaMED soundstudio though.

Check out Blackford Technology's Aural Synthetica. It's a sweet software synth with a patch panel style interface and lots of filters to tweak. http://www.blachford.info/blachtech/ (http://www.blachford.info/blachtech/)

Soinc Pulse's SoundFX looks like a nice sample editor. http://www.sonicpulse.de/ (http://www.sonicpulse.de/)

I liked the software that came with the AMAS sampler / MIDI interface as well, but I can't remember the name.

I use a DSS8+ now, and apart from the integration wihtin the hardware, the software is pretty lame (well, maybe not lame, but it's not very intuitive).
