Minnetonka Announces MxTrax^TM for Yamaha DSP Factory^TM

September 26, 1998 -- Minnetonka Audio Software is announcing MxTrax for the Yamaha DSP Factory.

"The DSP Factory provides enough DSP horsepower to enable the best features of MxTrax, yet it's low cost gives the user a whole new price point for real-time mixing," said John Schur, President of Minnetonka.

MxTrax brings its famous drag-and-drop mixer architecture to the DSP Factory. The user literally creates a custom mixer by dragging mixer components from a toolkit and dropping them onto a mixer. Components include input and output faders, panners, EQ, delay, solo/mute, and compression/expansion, and more. Mixer channels can be connected to disk tracks, external I/O, and to internal buses.

Forty differnt DSP effects are available and include chorus, reverb, flange, echo, pitch change, vocal doubler. All mixer controls can be automated. MxTrax's convenient Automation Update mode makes it a snap to change the automation of any component of any channel at any time. Custom mixers can be saved, and recalled at any time.

The disk tracks, custom mixer, automation, and edits are saved as a Project. Not only can you recall an entire Project at a later time, but MxTrax actually remembers edits that were done in previous sessions. You can literally load a Project, and Undo an edit you made last week.

Editing features include instantaneous fades, crossfades, gain change, and normalize. All edits are non-destructive, with unlimited undos and redos.

Price is $499 retail list. Ship date is November '98.
