Arboretum Ships New Effects for Pro Tools|24
MIX
April 14, 1999 Arboretum Systems today announced the first shipments
of Hyperprism-TDM version 2.5, featuring MIX card compatibility and three all-new
effects.
Built especially for electronic music production and film/video sound design,
Hyperprism is a signal processing software package offering a vast assortment
of different audio processes - a virtual rack of effects - which can be "played"
much like any musical instrument. Encompassing dozens of different processes,
Hyperprism is the most complete collection of professional digital audio software
effects in the world; Hyperprism-TDM is Arboretum's high-end edition, for use
with Digidesign's latest Pro Tools|24 MIX systems.
New effects in Hyperprism-TDM version 2.5 include:
Harmonic Exciter - Brings startling sparkle, clarity and air to any
track or an entire mix. New Arboretum technology targets a specific range of the
frequency spectrum and synthesizes new harmonics from that range, creating vibrant
high-end. Select bright or warm harmonics; control crossover frequency, amount
of harmonics and effect mix.
Bass Maximizer - Fattens up the bottom and makes the low end really
boom, adding punch, not muddiness. Provides dynamic control over lower frequencies
that simple EQ can't duplicate. Creates the vivid perception of deeper bass without
adding large amounts of low-frequency energy.
Tube/Tape Saturation - Crank up the heat on a mix or add fire to any
track with this effect that simulates tube overload and tape saturation. Select
effect quality level, and choose between several types of "tubes" and "tapes."
Offers selectable levels of warmth and gain.
Other Key features in Hyperprism-TDM 2.5 include:
- Now compatible with the new MIX cards as well as DSP Farms on PCI PowerMacs.
- Improved Filters and Noise Gate.
- Play effects like they were musical instruments with parameter change automation.
Hyperprism responds to every gesture, remembering and recreating each move and
parameter change.
- All effect parameters, including stereo input gain, can be assigned to Hyperprism's
Blue Window* for real-time gestural control over each effect. Design effects and
filters that "dance" with the music!
