Power Mac-Native Hyperprism(TM) -- TDM 2.1 Now Available

September 26, 1997 -- Arboretum Systems is demonstrating the most advanced edition of their Hyperprism(TM) sound design software, for Power Macintosh computers running Digidesign Pro Tools 4, at the 103rd AES convention in New York this week. First introduced in 1994, Hyperprism is a set of digital signal processing tools which feature intuitive gestural control over effect parameters. The new Hyperprism-TDM version 2.1 represents the crowning achievement of this development process, offering real-time in-line non-destructive audio processing, with full dynamic control over every effect setting.

Here are the key new features of Hyperprism-TDM version 2.11:

Now PowerPC-native! Runs on both PCI and NuBus Power Macintoshes. Also compatible with older 68000-series Macs running Pro Tools TDM.
All effect parameters, including stereo input gain, can be assigned to Hyperprism's Blue Windows(TM) for real-time gestural control over parameter changes.
Parameter change automation is achieved using the Pro Tools 4 track display, allowing easy editing of automation graphs. * Effects which were mono-only in previous releases can now be used on the stereo bus.
DSP algorithms rewritten and optimized for more parameter control and better sound.
Eight NEW effects included since the 2.0 release.
Hyperprism-DAS AudioSuite plug-in set included FREE with Hyperprism-TDM.
New on-line User's Guide documents every H-TDM feature and operation. Read the hypertext manual on the CD-ROM, or browse it at Arboretum's web site.

Hyperprism-TDM v2.1 includes the following plug-in modules:

Pitch Changer * Noise Gate * Ring Modulator * Doppler * Low pass / High pass Filter Band pass / Band reject Filter * Flanger Phaser * Chorus * Tremolo Vibrato * Auto Pan * Stereo Dynamics * Quasi Stereo More Stereo * Hyper Stereo M-S Matrix * Balance * Synchronous Crossing Pan Asynchronous Crossing Pan Synchronous Sweeping Pan * Asynchronous Sweeping Pan * Sonic Decimator(TM)

Use Hyperprism-TDM's Blue Window to get effect settings fast, or generate effect variations, then enable the Pro Tools automation features to edit and play back dynamic parameter changes in real-time. Users can design subtle, evolving changes, or make radical sweeps through the settings, creating outrageous new sounds and effects.

Hyperprism-TDM is already in use by hundreds of recording studios, post-production facilities, multimedia developers, game designers and broadcast professionals. No other TDM plug-in package gives this much control over this many effects for so little money!
