Now in beta form, final Mac OS X versions of Logic Audio 5.0, and drivers for the Unitor8 MkII, AMT8 and MT4 MIDI interfaces and the EMI 2|6 audio interface will be available in September 2001. "From the very beginning, it was important for us to support Apple's new driver concept for MIDI and audio hardware because it's the best way to use recording programs with Mac OS X," emphasized Dr. Gerhard Lengeling, Emagic founder and Chief Developer. "Our new music production suite will support many of Mac OS X's new features, such as memory protection for increased system reliability, the new graphics engine with transparency and flicker-free performance, real-time window sliding, and improved memory management." "With Mac OS X's entirely new audio feature set, including multi-channel audio support, the Mac is sure to remain the preeminent platform for professional music and audio production." said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations."This new suite of tools from Emagic offers a full integration of Mac OS X audio technologies and raises the bar for music and audio production and post-production on the Mac." Logic Audio for Mac OS X Logic Audio is one of the most widely used music and audio production software packages in the professional creative markets. Logic Audio combines the ultimate synthesis of digital audio recording and editing, digital signal processing, MIDI sequencing and music notation into an incredibly intuitive and powerful software package for music and audio production and post-production. Drivers Supporting Mac OS X for the Unitor8 MkII, AMT8 and MT4 MIDI interfaces and the EMI 2|6 audio interface. Drivers for the successful Emagic MIDI and audio interface series are future-safe because they precisely fulfill the requirements of the new MIDI and audio driver standards of Mac OS X. By chaining up to 8 Unitor8 MkII and AMT8, up to 64 separate MIDI inputs and outputs, or 1024 MIDI channels, are supported. In addition, the USB 24 bit capable EMI 2|6 has 2 analog inputs and 6 analog outputs, as well as one S/PDIF digital input and one output. Requirements and Availability Logic Audio, Unitor8 MkII, AMT8 and MT4 MIDI interfaces and the EMI 2|6 audio interface for Mac OS X products were developed and tested to form an ideal integrated audio production solution for Mac OS X; it is perfect for both desktop based and mobile, laptop based studios. At the same time the system is also extremely open-ended and compatible because the Mac OS X driver standard is used for both host (Logic Audio) and driver (MIDI and Audio). It can therefore be combined with any other software and hardware products that support the Mac OS X driver standard. It is expected that Logic Audio, Unitor8 MkII, AMT8 and MT4 MIDI interfaces and the EMI 2|6 audio interface for Mac OS X will ship in September 2001. Logic Audio for Mac OS 9 and for Mac OS X are being developed concurrently and will both be available in September 2001, helping to provide a smooth transition to Mac OS X.
