Bitheadz Releases Version 1.2 of the Voodoo Software MIDI Drum Machine
June 9, 2000BitHeadz, Inc. has released Version 1.2 of the Voodoo Software MIDI Drum
Machine that combines sampling, synthesis, and MIDI sequencing into one
package designed for rhythm programming.
Version 1.2 includes optimization for Apple's G4 processor providing
Voodoo users with expanded polyphony, higher resolution effects, and
improved performance of the application.
Voodoo 1.2 also supports the Digidesign DirectConnect plug-in format for
Pro Tools users. DirectConnect allows the audio output of Voodoo to be
streamed directly to the Pro Tools mixing environment for total control
over all mixing parameters. DirectConnect is free and is now available
for both Pro Tools Mix and Pro Tools LE systems.
"With the release of Version 1.2, Voodoo users can now take full
advantage of faster Apple computers and high quality digital audio
hardware from Digidesign" says Director of Sales, Earl Sondreal. "This
added compatibility makes Voodoo a very powerful solution for
software-based drum synthesis and sequencing."
In addition to these features Voodoo can now remap up to eight MIDI
controller assignments and redirect it's audio output to discrete
channels for ASIO and Direct I/O devices.
Voodoo supports ASIO, Direct I/O, MAS, ReWire, DirectConnect, and Sound
Manager and is fully compatible with the BitHeadz Unity DS-1 software
sampler. A Windows release of Voodoo is is expected to ship in Q3, 2000. For more information, visit their web site at www.bitheadz.com. |
