NI's Pro-52 Now Compatible with DXi, MAS, and DirectConnect
August 3, 2001The Pro-52, Native Instruments' analog synthesizer
emulation, has just reached version 2.5 which offers three new interfaces
to achieve compatibility with all common sequencer and recording
environments. In addition to the previous VST
interface, DXi, MAS, and DirectConnect have now been added for integration
into Cakewalk SONAR, MOTU Digital
Performer, and Digidesign Pro Tools systems.
DXi supports the operation and full automation of virtual sound generators
under SONAR. Through MAS and DirectConnect,
the audio signal of the Pro-52 can be routed directly into mixer channels
of the host programs to be mixed with the internal effects
of Digital Performer and Pro Tools, respectively. Of course, the Pro-52
will also retain its VST implementation.
The update also adds some new features. In the MacOS standalone version, version 2.5 of the Pro-52 will allows up
to 8 instances to be used at the same time, each with its
own MIDI channel. Version 2.5 now supports variable sample rates. Of
course, all features of the recently released version 2.2 are included,
including microtuned scales, modifiable controller numbers, direct program
selection with the keyboard, and more.
The Pro-52 recreates one of the most beloved analog synthesizers of the
80's. In addition to the accurate reproduction of all
functions of the original and its critically-acclaimed tone, the Pro-52
offers an effects section for flexible modulation and delay effects.
The Pro-52 can load the original SysEx data of its ancestor and is fully
controllable over MIDI. The Pro-52 includes a vast sound library that
demonstrates its authentic analog character and makes it an absolute must
for the modern analog fan.
The Pro-52 will be distributed worldwide by Steinberg, and first
deliveries will be made in August. Registered Pro-52 users can
download the 2.5 update for free as soon as it is available.
