Topic title sez it all:

Click on "Software."

And they din't even wait for that damn NAMM, thank-you-ma'am.

There's a non-G4 version, a G4 version (both at $319.99 [Why don't people just charge $320.00 and save the lives of some 9s?]), plus a surprise "SE" version for just $59.99.

Get 'em while they're hot.

Just to add - I am another Metro 6 buyer/user and have been enjoying it (though mostly in OS9). I have used it in OS X and was pleasently surprised. I agree with Levon that calling Metro 6 entry level is probably for those who haven't dug too deep.

It is funny how people have to have the top end with software. Like MSWord to type a recipe or ProTools to record a Squire Strat (not that there's anything wrong with a Squire but it certainly isn't as high on the guitar food chain as ProTools is on the DAW food chain).

One thing I wish was easier in Metro is handing control surfaces (like my TASCAM US-428). I went ahead and edited things in the Controller Window of Metro but there are some weaknesses like not having the control specific to one MIDI device and not having some templates already made. The other thing I am surprised by is the lack of included FX. I pulled those from my old version of Metro, however, and am not finding that to be a blocking point in any way.

Enough compaints, the good things are for $119 upgrade price at the Cakewalk store I have a DAW/Sequencer that includes Notation and support for most any plug in. There are some UI quirks but then again it didn't cost $699 (or so). The bottom line is I am making music with it with many tracks on a lowly 350MHz B&W G3 and having fun. Buy it, give SaganTech good reason to improve things like UI and manuals!
