MakeMusic announces the end of Finale development, and offers exclusive crossgrade discount on Dorico Pro.
Louisville, CO — MakeMusic, a leading music technology company renowned for its innovative music education and notation solutions, has announced it will be sunsetting its flagship music notation software Finale, Finale PrintMusic, and Finale Notepad. To ensure that Finale users continue to have access to the most advanced and efficient tools available, MakeMusic has partnered with Steinberg, the creators of Dorico, to offer an exclusive discount on Dorico Pro.
The following changes take effect immediately:
After one year, beginning August 2025, these changes will go into effect:
35 years ago, Coda Music Technologies, now MakeMusic, released the first version of Finale, a groundbreaking and user-centered approach to notation software. For over four decades, MakeMusic’s engineers and product teams have passionately crafted what would quickly become the gold standard for music notation. Greg Dell’Era, President, MakeMusic and Alfred Music says: “Four decades is a very long time in the software industry. Technology stacks change, Mac and Windows operating systems evolve, and Finale’s millions of lines of code add up. This has made the delivery of incremental value for our customers exponentially harder over time. Today, Finale is no longer the future of the notation industry — a reality after 35 years, and I want to be candid about this. Instead of releasing new versions of Finale that would offer only marginal value to our users, we’ve made the decision to end its development. I am convinced Steinberg’s Dorico is the best home for our loyal Finale users, and is the bright future of the music notation industry.”
“We look forward to welcoming many Finale users into the Dorico user community,” says Clyde Sendke, Managing Director, Steinberg. “Although we know it is difficult to leave behind a trusted tool, we are confident that they will soon come to rely on the powerful, efficient workflows provided by Dorico Pro. Our team will be by their side at every step to provide help and support.”
Through the partnership, Finale users will have exclusive access to a limited-time crossgrade discount on Dorico Pro, Steinberg’s state-of-the-art music notation software. This discount will enable Finale users to purchase Dorico Pro for $149 (retail price $579). This offer is available immediately and will only be available for a limited time. This discount will also be available for users of Finale PrintMusic.
To receive the discount on Dorico Pro, Finale customers should log in to their MakeMusic account at the MakeMusic Store to complete the purchase.

PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC: music production and audio processing advanced tools-maker MeldaProduction is proud to bring its 16th anniversary to a celebratory close with a welcomed V17 update to all of its 100-plus plug-ins — introducing MPluginManager as a new and easy way to manage all installations, licensing, and subscriptions from one convenient location, as well as adding six new instruments to MSoundFactory (https://www.meldaproduction.com/MSoundFactory), itself already held in high regard as arguably the most powerful modular virtual instrument platform out there today by effectively allowing users to create their own customized instrument — as of August 13…
Surely surviving 16 years in business is something well worth celebrating — certainly this thinking applies now more than ever to the highly competitive world of music production and audio processing software, where MeldaProduction has continued to not only flourish but, better still, dominate with well over 100 plug-ins to its notable name. Needless to say, all of those plug-ins have benefitted from a celebratory V17 update being applied by the music production and audio processing advanced tools-maker rightly recognizing that the time had also come to improve its innumerable discerning users’ creative comfort by introducing MPluginManager as a new and easy way to manage all installations, licensing, and subscriptions from one convenient location. Indeed, it is simply a case of installing — from here: https://www.meldaproduction.com/downloads — and launching, then logging into a user account, following which MPluginManager checks licenses on the host computer against the user account concerned; click the resultant plug-in icons to select or deselect as desired — or, alternatively, use the ‘bundle shortcuts’ — before clicking INSTALL/CHANGE to download and install all necessary packages.
Put it this way: MPluginManager makes sure any user’s MeldaProduction plug-ins are always up to date with only the files that are needed on their system, sensibly tracking even the smallest of updates and allowing for easy installation repairs in the process… celebratory creative comfort, some might say.
Creative comfort notwithstanding, the welcomed V17 update also sees MeldaProduction making MSoundFactory more powerful than ever — even though it was already held in high regard as arguably the most powerful modular virtual instrument platform out there today by effectively allowing users to create their own customized instrument with any number of oscillators, filters, samplers, or whatever they want, with per-voice and global modulation, full MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) support, and a fully-modular effects engine — with the addition of six new instruments, including the self-explanatory CYBERPUNK BASS and TRAP BASS, enhancing their respective genres; ETHEREAL KEYS, providing lo-fi and atmospheric keyboard sounds; ORGANIC ESCAPE, delving deeper into granular synthesis; as well as ALCHEMIST WHOOSH and CYCLICITY that both more than live up to their intriguing-sounding names as intriguing-sounding instruments. All are, of course, free for existing owners of MSoundFactory and MSoundFactory LE licenses.
It is fair to say, though, that there is more to the V17 update — free for all existing plug-in users, as always — than meets the eye, perhaps, for MeldaProduction has worked hard to improve the efficiency of the core and updated the compatibility of all its plug-ins — including the free ones, such as those found in
MFreeFXBundle (https://www.meldaproduction.com/MFreeFXBundle), the largest collection of free plug-ins available anywhere — to meet current standards. Some plug-ins — like
MTurboDelay (https://www.meldaproduction.com/MTurboDelay), possibly the most in-depth delay plug-in available anywhere — also benefit from many new presets. Free-for-life updates include all of
MeldaProduction’s bestselling big-hitters, such as MAutoAlign (https://www.meldaproduction.com/MAutoAlign), the ultimate phase cancellation solution;
MAutoDynamicEq (https://www.meldaproduction.com/MAutoDynamicEq), the most powerful and flexible dynamic EQ;
MDrummer (https://www.meldaproduction.com/MDrummer), the ultimate drum machine and virtual drummer;
MMorph (https://www.meldaproduction.com/MMorph), a unique tool to morph between two audio materials;
MMultiAnalyzer (https://www.meldaproduction.com/MMultiAnalyzer), a unique multi-track spectrum, loudness and stereo analyzer, and sonogram;
MRhythmizer (https://www.meldaproduction.com/MRhythmizer), a unique time manipulation effect;
MSpectralDynamics (https://www.meldaproduction.com/MSpectralDynamics), unique spectral processing with fine-tuned algorithms;
MTurboAmp (https://www.meldaproduction.com/MTurboAmp), a mighty collection of guitar amps and distortion pedals; and much more.
Best buy… or subscribe?
Owning over 100 V17-updated MeldaProduction plug-ins — bestselling big-hitters or otherwise — can be an admittedly expensive endeavour, whether actively engaging with the music production and audio processing advanced tools-maker’s 16th anniversary celebrations or otherwise. On the face of it, then, the best way to buy all of those plug-ins outright with free-for-life updates is to opt for MCompleteBundle (https://www.meldaproduction.com/MCompleteBundle) — readily representing every plug-in that MeldaProduction has ever released (or ever will), which weighs in at a heavyweight €2,099.00 EUR, while still representing a considerable cost saving over buying each and every plug-in separately. Saying that, the best way to start using all of MeldaProduction’s V17-updated plug-ins immediately is through its Subscribe-to-Own programme (https://www.meldaproduction.com/subscription), priced at only €15.00 EUR per month or €165.00 EUR annually. It is also worth noting here that many MeldaProduction plug-ins — including MSoundFactory — are available as part of Belgium-based Image-Line Software’s FL Cloud subscription model (https://www.image-line.com/fl-cloud), starting at only €6.50 EUR per month. And anyone still sitting on the fence regarding the music production and audio processing advanced tools-maker proudly bringing its 16th anniversary to a celebratory close with that welcomed V17 update to all of its 100-plus plug-ins would do well to remember that they are all available as 15-day fully-working trial versions… cause for a little celebration in itself, surely!

MeldaProduction was founded in 2009 by Vojtech Meluzin and is based in Prague, Czech Republic. Inspired by ancient analogue gear right through to the latest digital developments, it makes advanced tools for music production and audio processing with 100-plus products — including more than 30 available for free — to its notable name.

It is also a premier partner brand of fellow Prague-registered Limited Company United Plugins, a federation of independent development teams comprised of individuals involved
SAN CLEMENTE, CA, USA: premium audio content provider Q Up Arts is proud to partner with charity-fundraising digital storefront Humble Bundle in announcing an exclusive pay-what-you-want-pricing-style sale of a selection of its world-class samples, SFX, virtual instruments, loop collections, and production music — masterfully tailored to suit game designers and music creators alike as the Q UP ARTS REMIX software bundle of up to 43 items valued at over $2,000.00 USD for as little as $25.00 USD, a portion of which will be donated to the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC), the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins — running for three weeks as of August 12…
Q UP ARTS REMIX should suit anyone looking for the perfect sound effects to elevate their project or the right beats to ignite their next track as it is packed with everything anyone could conceivably need, ranging from bass lines, beats, loops, and stems from renowned artists like LA hip-hopper Dazmin DeLeon, Santana bassist Benny Rietveld, and American game composer Chase Bethea, who, for his part in the charitable proceedings, states, “I’m proud to offer my music stems from the award-winning soundtrack from On the Peril of Parrots.” Proffers Ivor Novello Award-winning, GRAMMY®- and BAFTA-nominated British composer Richard Jacques, famed for his critically-acclaimed scores for blockbuster franchises such as Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and James Bond 007: Blood Stone: “I’ve always been a fan of Q Up Arts sounds — especially their Voices of… series — since they fill so many gaps that other libraries don’t, and they sound great.” It is surely fair to say, then, that this software bundle allows anyone to explore a wide range of themes and genres, including funk, hip-hop, Native American, rock, and more — perfect for film, music production, TV, and video game design.
But beyond that, Q UP ARTS REMIX also includes a vast array of expertly-recorded sound effects in addition to the MusicSketch iOS app anchored around a simple, intuitive interface powered by Q Up Arts samples as a powerful tool to enable composing anywhere inspiration strikes, so realising musical ideas has never been easier.
The total cost of all the software included in Q UP ARTS REMIX is normally over $2,000.00 USD, but begins at a minimum $1.00 USD purchase price (for four items) via Humble Bundle up through 15- and 34-item bundle options to the full (43-item) bundle for a (minimum) purchase price of $25.00 USD, although it is possible to pay more if inspired to do so — choose the price and increase the contribution to upgrade the bundle, in other words, with all purchases helping support the WDC’s vital marine conservation efforts.
“We are excited to partner with Humble Bundle and offer our diverse audio content to game designers and creators worldwide.” So says Q Up Arts Sound Designer Douglas Morton, adding, “By participating in this campaign, creators not only gain access to high-quality audio resources, but also contribute to a meaningful cause.”

Pearlman. The updated version brings the legendary sound of the ARP 2600 into the modern era with advanced features and authenticity.

The TimewARP 2600 goes beyond basic replication with advanced digital modeling and additional features, such as eight-voice polyphony and patch memory. This instrument retains the essence of the ARP 2600 while incorporating modern enhancements. Endorsed by Alan R. Pearlman, the TimewARP 2600 accurately reproduces the sound of the original. Contributions from those who worked on the original hardware help ensure the authenticity of this plugin version.
Features for All Levels
The TimewARP 2600 makes modular synthesis accessible to all users, from beginners to experts. It includes comprehensive guides and presets, inviting users to explore modular synthesis from the basics to advanced techniques. The TimewARP 2600 also functions as an audio FX plug-in, integrating seamlessly into any studio setup. Users can craft new sounds or add unique effects, using the synthesizer to process inputs and create one-of-a-kind effects.
Neal Gustafson of AIR Music Tech says, “The TimewARP 2600 is more than a synthesizer; it’s ‘The Real Deal.’ It honors the past while embracing modern plugin technology.”
