BitHeadz Announces Roland Support for Osmosis

September 28, 1999 -- BitHeadz, Inc. proudly announces new functionality for their Osmosis Sample Conversion Utility. Osmosis now will read and convert the extensive Roland sample CD ROM libraries into Unity DS-1 or SampleCell format. Osmosis is an easy to use application for converting Akai S1000 or S3000 format CDROM's, and now Roland format CD ROM's, into Unity DS-1 or SampleCell format using any Macintosh or PC with a CD-ROM drive.

Osmosis is a single window application that displays the Akai or Roland partitions, volumes, performances, programs, partials, and samples. Conversion is accomplished by simply dragging the desired data to your Macintosh or PC desktop. All multisample and program voicing parameter data is retained. Samples can be auditioned directly from the CD, then transferred to hard disk in AIFF, Sound Designer 11, WAVE, or Unity DS-1 format. Akai "Left/Right split" samples can be automatically merged into a true stereo file. Any CD-ROM drive (SCSI or IDE) can be used.

Finally Sample Cell users have a fast and easy way to convert Akai and Roland Sample libraries into SampleCell format, and Unity DS-1 owners will benefit from a more convenient conversion of the Akai and Roland libraries. Osmosis will also now perform batch conversions and "entire disc" conversions. Osmosis retails for $179.00
