FXpansion Releases VST-DX Adapter v2.1
 June 16, 2000FXpansion Audio, the same people who brought you the original "Amulet"
VST-to-DirectX Adapter, have announced the availability of the new version
2.1 Standard Edition.
Building on our experiences with v2.0, the new version offers full support
for Steinberg's VST 2.0 Virtual Instrument standard, in leading recording
packages such as Cakewalk Audio 9.x series and SEK'D Samplitude 5.x. Thanks to months of work analysing the timing and other behaviour of these
applications, VST 2.0 Instruments hosted via VST-DX Adapter deliver
millisecond-accurate timing, and smooth integration in to the host
application's own mixer.
Thanks to improvements in soundcard and driver design, many people will
also be able to play these instruments in real-time, using just the
standard MME drivers. Latency figures as low as 11ms are possible.
VST-DX Adapter v2.1 also adds the following useful features:
- Preset program/bank support: VST-format plug-in settings files can now be
loaded in, and factory presets made accessible.
- Improved MIDI automation: even better real-time or automated control for
your VST FX plug-ins.
- Folding menu: organise your plug-ins in to sub-folders by manufacturer,
type or however you wish.
- Enhanced ergonomics: bigger, easier-to-use faders, and improved window
management.
VST-DX Adapter v2.1 Standard Edition is priced $60.00; the update is free
to registered v2.0SE and v1.x users. V2.0 Basic Edition users can upgrade
for $40.00; a free update featuring the ergonomic and folding menu
enhancements of v2.1 will also be available to v2.0 Basic Edition users.
