New from TerraTec: EWS digitaLWindows 2000 Drivers now available for all EWS 64 products August 29, 2000Windows2000 drivers are now available for all professional
EWS64-products designed by TerraTec. These allow the user to use the
renowned EWS-Technology also in combination with the new Microsoft
operating system. This is even more important as the AudioSystems in the
EWS64 range have become some kind of Art Cult object since their
introduction to the market. The system's unparalleled flexibility -
especially when several audio and MIDI programs are in use
simultaneously - offers options that can't be found in any other
product. The Win2000 drivers can be downloaded free and rapidly from
www.terratec.net.
Simultaneously the Lower Rhine Audio specialist TerraTec has launched a
new EWS product: the AudioSystem EWSdigitaL. It is based on the
combination of the renowned EWS64 L and the Digital-Modul
DigitalXtension ,R' (DXR). The EWSdigitaL can be expanded to 64MB RAM
(6MB ex-works) and offers 64 (hardware) voices. The user interface of
the sampler provides extremely fast access to all parameters such as
envelopes, filters and LFOs. Every MIDI note and velocity level within
an instrument can be assigned its own sample. On the other hand, all
synthesizer functions can be applied individually to each split.
The software imports samples and sounds in WAV, SF2 (Soundfont), 94B
(sound cards with Dream chipset) and AKAI (S-1000) formats. A wide range
of third-party sound CDs have since been published specifically for the
EWS64 which make the most of its impressive sound generation
capabilities.
The DXR-Module allows digital (S/PDIF) communication with external
peripherals without quality loss, such as DAT-recorders or MiniDisk. The
choice of interface - optical or coaxial in both directions - is up to
you. This way the digital audio data for supported sampling frequencies
(32, 44,1 and 48 KHz), is transmitted directly 1 to 1 - there is no need
to convert it later.
