AKG have just released their first USB-equipped microphone, the Perception 120 USB. Essentially the same microphone as the non-USB Perception 120 (which we reviewed back in February 2009), this latest one incorporates a 24-bit Windows (from XP to Windows 7) and OS X-compatible audio interface, of which AKG say: “Instead of usual one-chip-solutions, the high-quality analogue-to-digital converter provides convincing sound quality and low noise.”

Synth and MIDI-controller manufacturers Novation have announced that they will be giving away $500-worth of software to anyone who owns, or buys, a Novation Nocturn 25 or 49 keyboard.

The software bundle includes an upgrade from the included Automap software to Automap Pro, which allows for multiple Novation controllers to benefit from Automap’s features simultaneously, as well as reassigning controls and assigning key commands and shortcuts to knobs and buttons on your controller.
