While my silent predictions that Peter Gabriel personally would fly into Winter NAMM 2009 piloting a winged Shed Of Your Dreams fell just short of realization, SSL was there to display their new Duende Expanded and Duende Studio Pack options, bringing unprecedented levels of value to the Duende line. The three new bundles are the Duende Mini Expanded, Duende Mini Studio Pack and Duende PCIe Studio Pack.

The Duende Mini Expanded includes Duende Mini with Channel Strip, the SSL G Series Bus Compressor plugin and a 16 to 32 channel upgrade. Duende Mini Studio Pack includes the everything you get with Mini Expanded plus Drumstrip, Vocalstrip, X-EQ and X-Comp -- the entire Duende plugin collection.

Finally, the Duende PCIe Studio Pack includes everything that the Duende Mini Studio included except for the 16 or 32 channel upgrade. Instead of the Duende Mini, it includes the Duende PCIe, which is probably moderately obvious but still worth mentioning.
