(Click for a close-up)

Cycling '74 will soon release of radiaL 1.0, an extensible loop-based composition and performance tool designed for Macintosh users looking to explode the boundaries between live performance, sound design, and composition. The OS9 version of radiaL is being demonstrated publicly at the NAMM show, and will ship January 31. The OS X version of radiaL will be available as a free update for all registered radiaL users by Q2 2003.

Not simply another loop sequencer for real-time tinkering with tempo and pitch on multiple loops, radiaL is a loop-based performance software with a beautiful and unique interface thoughtfully optimized for playing live. The program is based on loop channels represented by circular displays, each with its own performable multi-filter and pitch shifting/time scaling. Almost every aspect of the system can configured for live performance, studio recording, or sound exploration, controlled from a variety of sources (control surfaces, MIDI, keyboard or mouse). radiaL features complete multi-channel audio I/O support, audio and effects routing, and support for VST plug-ins.

radiaL supports all major audio file formats and I/O standards. As a bonus, you get a dozen VST plug-in effects from the Pluggo collection, and a crucial tempo-synchronized filter/delay.

radiaL includes:

• Sample-accurate loops and syncing
• Support for AIFF, WAV, and MP3 files
• Dynamic interchange of loops and DSP effects
• Built-in library of external MIDI controller templates and the ability to add your own
• Insanely flexible audio routing and support for ASIO, ReWire, DirectConnect, and VST on OS 9 and CoreAudio on OS X
• Record direct to disk record on the fly
• A free library of loops

Price and Availability: radiaL has a suggested retail price of $249 and will be available for purchase or download from www.cycling74.com on January 31. An OS X version of radial will be released in Q2, and will be available as a free upgrade to all registered radiaL users.
