Minnetonka Announces 32-bit FastEdDit^TM

September 26, 1998 -- Minnetonka Audio Software is announcing a major upgrade to FastEdDit.

FastEdDit has been rewritten to be a full 32-bit windows application. It interfaces to Direct-X plug-ins. This makes it compatible with a wide range of effects software currently availbable on the market. FastEdDit32 allows Direct-X plug-ins to run in either real-time mode, or in off-line mode.

FastEddit32 retains all the features of FastEdDit. Cut-and-paste edits are lightning fast. Soundfile loading is fast, even for long soundfiles. The user interface is simple and intuitive.

All edits are non-destructive. The groundbreaking Edit History list shows you your last 10 edits, allowing you to undo or redo any of them.

The FastEdDit package includes two bonus programs. The Sound Catalog lets you make a screen of labeled boxes, with associated soundfiles. Just click on the box to play the sound. The Sound Catalog makes a great interface for a real-time sound effects library. The Playlist Editor lets you build libraries of sound segments, and then place them in a playlist to play sequentially. The Playlist Editor has a "play 1" feature to allow you to play the items on the list one at a time. This is very useful for on-air news assist. The Playlist Editor also has a Region Library and Region Editor. Any Playlist item and be an edited segment of a soundfile. For instance, you can break up a song into segments, and use the Playlist Editor to do stereo dance remixes.

Price is $199 retail list. Expected ship date is January '99.
