Emagic announces that the ES1 (Emagic Synthesizer
One) is now available as a TDM plug-in. The ES1 was Emagic's first proprietary
development in the field of virtual instruments. Shipping since December
1999, the ES1 has met with international critical acclaim.
The ES1 provides subtractive synthesis that meets the classic analog
ideals. It offers everything that made analog synthesizers so famous:
rich sounding oscillators, fat filters, flexible modulation possibilities
and extremely fast envelopes. The ES1 integrates seamlessly within Logic's
internal digital mixer so that all plug-ins effects can be applied to
its output and all parameters can be automated. The direct connection
with the sequencing engine of the Logic Audio guarantees unsurpassed precision
through sample-accurate timing superior to any external MIDI synthesizer.
The ES1 TDM can be used by Logic Audio Platinum 4.2 owners working with
Digidesign's ProTools[TM] TDM based systems (Mac only). OMS is not needed
in order to use ES1 in a Logic Audio based TDM system, thus AMT (Emagic's
Active MIDI Transmission) can be used in all external MIDI communication.
The ES1 TDM runs on one DSP of a Digidesign Pro Tools|24 Mix Core/Farm
card or a PCI DSP Farm card. With one DSP the ES1 TDM generates eight
voices with a single patch, two different patches with four voices each,
or eight different monophonic patches. This static voice allocation ensures
that even complex voicings do not suffer from voice stealing, thus eliminating
negative effects like cut-off release phases that are inherent to dynamic
voice distribution.
Emagic's native version of the ES1 is also included with the ES1 TDM
package.
The ES1 TDM will ship in March 2000 and carries an MSRP of US$ 299.00.
