March 3, 1999 -- Blachford Technology is proud to announce the forthcoming release of Aural Illusion v4.0 for the new BeOS operating system. Expected shipping date is Q2 '99, with a price less than $100.

Aural Illusion features more than 200 effects with which to use, abuse, beat and generally mutilate your audio samples. In addition to the usual editing and processing tools, users will be able to concentrate on the creative processing of samples. Effects are arranged into a number of categories, from standard effects (reverb, chorus, various delays, distortion, enhance, filters etc.) to more complex effects (multi-band EQs, mathematical operations such as Sin, Cos, Exp, Log, etc.). More elaborated effects will also be made available to most demanding users (manipulation of the sound samples, dual manipulations, stereo effects).

A freeware version, Aural Illusion Jr., is also being developed and should be released in May, 1999. It will have the same editing features, but will not include any effects processing.

"BeOS provides the most advanced media operating system on common and up to date hardware." Said Nicholas Blachford, CEO of Blachford Technology. "Now users want more. Aural Illusion can provide the most comprehensive suite of audio effects users can dream of."

"Blachford Technology has already seduced a lot of Amiga users, and is now targetting the right operating system at the right time". Said Guillaume Calmon, Developer Evangelist. "Aural Illusion will perfectly fulfill our customers' needs for audio creativity. This unique application will give them extra touch that makes all the difference."
