Korg Adds PCM Support To Oasys PCI
January 21, 2001Korg announces the release of version two software for its OASYS PCI synthesis,
effects and computer I/O card. This expansive new update adds sixteen new algorithms
for playing back PCM samples to the OASYS PCI's already powerful DSP synthesis
capabilities. These new algorithms provide everything from a simple loop player,
to a user-configurable drumkit, up through complex new PCM-based synthesizer designs.
The update also includes virtually all of the samples from the acclaimed Korg
Triton library - a total of 130 megabytes of PCM data - with over 500 multisamples,
4,000 samples, and hundreds of new programs. In addition, the user can import
samples in WAV, AIFF, and Sound Designer II formats (either 16 or 24-bit), use
them to make new drumkits and programs, and even edit them using any third-party
waveform editor.
The update will be available for free as a download from Korg's website, or
available shipped on a CD-ROM for a nominal charge. Along with this exciting upgrade
to the system, the OASYS PCI is now available for an average street price of $1299,
making this versatile computer-music tool an even more incredible value.
OASYS PCI provides 44 stunning synthesizers, a 12-in/12-out effects processor
with 135 algorithms, plus 24-bit I/O for your computer, both analog and digital
formats. Its onboard DSP power helps relieve the burden normally placed on the
host CPU when using plug-ins and applications providing similar functionality.
It runs on both MAC and Windows operating systems, and works with all major audio
and MIDI applications. For more information, visit their web site at www.korgusa.com. |
