Sonic Foundry Introduces 3 More Loop Libraries for ACID(TM)

July 10, 1998 -- Sonic Foundry (AMEX:SFO) introduces three more loop libraries in their expanding Loops for ACID series. The three libraries: Funky xtreams II, Signals II Analog Synth Dance Loops, and Syntonic Generator were created by leading sound designers and optimized to take advantage of ACID's time stretching capabilities. ACID is Sonic Foundry's loop-based music creation software. The loop libraries are original and license free.

Funky xtreams II - hip, vintage loops from the KORG Rhythm55 preset rhythm box. These rare sounds are must-have for any serious vintage rhythm machine user. The "Disco" and "Bossa-Nova" presets sound great to this day and are a refreshing departure from other rhythm machines.

Signals II Analog Synth Dance Loops - the second volume of dance sounds created on the world's greatest synthesizers. Funky music from funky machines ... They're all here - Prophet-5, Minimoog, Roland Jupiter6 and Jupiter8, Korg MS20, and Yamaha DX7, with variety including Synth bass, Arrpegiator, Sequences and FX sounds.

Syntonic Generator - An eclectic toolbox for the ultra-discriminating loop user. This disc features hundreds of cutting-edge drum and synth loops for killer mixes, including amazing loop styles in house, techno, dance, jungle and industrial. Cool effects, hits and astounding samples and synths. Syntonic is a monster toolbox.

ACID (MSRP $399) - is the latest addition to Sonic Foundry's line of audio software for the Windows platform.

Loops can be previewed in real time before being opened. ACID automatically matches the tempo and pitch of the loop for instant synchronization. Changing the pitch of a project merely involves selecting the desired key from a drop-down menu.

ACID supports unlimited tracks, based on system RAM. Each track includes the volume, pan, and effect envelopes for greater editing control.

ACID is available for both the Windows 95 and Windows NT platforms and requires a Pentium 133 with a Windows-compatible sound card. A Pentium II processor is recommended for real-time effects.
