Emagic Announces Version 4.0.1 for Logic
Audio Gold & Platinum
July 23, 1999
Emagic, the award winning European-based software and hardware developer,
is proud to announce that Version 4.0.1 is now available for Mac users
of Logic Audio Gold and Platinum, adding new functionality to the already
successful 4.0 release.
The most significant feature of the 4.0.1 release is direct support for
Emagic's new AMT8 and Unitor8 MkII USB MIDI interfaces. MIDI interface
communication has also been improved to include up to three simultaneous
MIDI port connections. The settings of "Modem", "Printer",
"USB" and "OFF" can be freely selected in each of
the three 'Connections', allowing any virtual MIDI instrument to be mapped
to any physical MIDI interface. This improvement alleviates the necessity
of converting songs and setups when replacing or adding a new MIDI interface.
With this new communication protocol up to 192 MIDI ports are directly
addressable - the previous maximum was "only" 128.
In addition, Version 4.0.1 offers side-chain support for TDM plug-ins
and a pre-fader mode for audio track level meters. Extra parameters are
now available for several of the 34 included plug-ins as well as a new
display mode for selected sequences in the Matrix editor. The performance
of the audio engine has also been increased in addition to many other
detailed improvements made in response to user feedback.
Availability
The 4.0.1 update for current users of Logic Audio Gold and Platinum Version
4.0 Mac is available for download, FREE of charge, from www.emagic.de.
The 4.0.1 update is also included with the Unitor8 MkII and AMT8. For
