Open Labs has announced the release of Music OS version 3.1.

Music OS 3.1 features both technical and social updates to enhance the performance and user experience of the program. Music OS 3.1 takes creators and performers deep into true 64-Bit power-crunching technology and allows them direct access to the cloud for professional publishing and further collaboration. Music OS 3.1 debuts the all new OL VST Suite Library with over 15 easy-to-use instruments and effects.

Open Labs will be releasing an Apple OS X supported platform in early 2012.

Music OS 3.1 New Features Include:

• SoundCloud Direct Integration - Music OS projects and session files can now easily be rendered and uploaded directly to all SoundCloud user accounts.
• OL VST Suite Library – Music OS 3.1 delivers its first suite of VST instruments and effects for music creation and performance. 5 instruments including Dubstar, a bass synth designed for dubstep wobble and deep bass tones. BUMP, a straight forward drum module complete with Open Labs "bump" sample library. IDM, a creative synth for modulating soundscapes and atmospheric swells. OL Remix allows you to load an audio sample and chop, screw, and rearrange the beat. 10 VST effects for MIDI devices or incoming audio signals including Reverb, Chorus, Delay, EQ, Distortion, Filter, Compressor, Limiter, Looper, and more.
• True 64 Bit Application - Music OS 3.1 takes full advantage of today’s powerful 64-Bit hardware and software operating systems. With unbridged 64-Bit technology, larger files, projects and VST plug-ins can be loaded and handled more efficiently throughout the creation and performance process. Music OS 3.1 also allows backwards compatibility for 32-Bit users.
