ExperimentalScene has updated DarkWave Studio to version 2.6.1. It is no longer free (again).

Changes include:

• Greatly improved Pattern Editor and Sequence Editor: Now notes, control changes and sequence entries can be easily added and removed by right clicking an empty space to add and right clicking an entry to remove. Furthermore, entries can be stretched and moved by dragging with the mouse. This greatly improves the workflow of DarkWave Studio for the quick creation of patterns and sequences.
• Additional VST Paths: Now you can choose from the options dialog additional directories to search for VST plug-ins, very useful for those that use multiple VST hosts.
• Options Get Saved: That's right, DarkWave wasn't saving its options. How awful. Well, now it finally does.
• CNET Yahoo! Toolbar Removed: Now you won't get bothered to ask if you want to install CNET Yahoo! Toolbar. This dramatically decreases the installer size to 2.6 MB.

Also, the ExperimentalScene plug-ins have all been updated to v2.8 and they, too, are no longer free, again. They now cost $24.95 each.
