AudioSpillage has announced that DrumSpillage is now available and that MiniSpillage has been updated to v1.0.4.

DrumSpillage is a high quality multi-model drum synth plug-in for Mac OS X capable of delivering a level of sound quality normally associated with dedicated hardware equipment, according to AudioSpillage.

DrumSpillage is built around a collection of small but flexible synthesis models individually engineered to expand your existing sound palette and provide a rich base for sonic exploration. For maximum flexibility each pad in a kit can be assigned to any of the available models and layered across MIDI key ranges.

The slider based (no knobs) user interface is fast and efficient and places the full power of the synth within close reach allowing you to create custom kits and explore fresh ideas rapidly without distraction.

Priced at $159, DrumSpillage is available as an AU instrument plug-in for Mac OS X (10.4 and higher) Universal Binary. If you are one of the first 10 customers you can take advantage of a special offer launch price of $119 (€89 / £75).
