The Xentronix team has updated their site. They now have new forums and some more options in the user accounts. Also, they are organizing a VST/VSTi pool, through which you can donate money, helping them port new VST tools to BeOS. Here's the announcement:

"To provide the BeOS / Zeta media platform with even more VST(i) plugins, Xentronix has set up a pool to develop and port low budget and free quality VST(i) plugins. We already ported serveral, which you can find on our download page.

The pool should privide us with the resources to port even more plugins and have them available for free to the community. All that find it important to have more and better VST(i) plugins available can make donations to this pool using our PayPal account by clicking on the PayPal banner on top of this page."

Well? What do you think? This comes in a good timing, following the VST/VSTi news piece we posted a couple of days ago. So if you're interested, head over to their site and donate.

Update: I was just informed by Frans that this development isn't a coincidence, regarding the LeBuzz news. Jimmy Packes has joined the Xentronix team.
