The cover DVD with issue 107 (December 2006) of Computer Music magazine in the UK features AlphaCM, an exclusive, specially enhanced version of LinPlug's forthcoming FreeAlpha3 plug-in synth. The main difference between FreeAlpha3 and AlphaCM is the combined amp and ring modulation control built into the latter.
