Arboretum Ships 24-Bit Compatible Hyperprism-TDM
September 26, 1998Arboretum Systems is demonstrating the 24-bit compatible Hyperprism(TM)-TDM sound design software, for Power Macintosh computers running Digidesign Pro Tools 4, at the Audio Engineering Society convention in San Francisco this weekend.
First introduced in 1994, Hyperprism is a set of digital signal processing tools which feature intuitive gestural control over effect parameters. Now in current release, Hyperprism-TDM version 2.1 is Arboretum's high-end pro version, offering real-time in-line non-destructive audio processing, with full dynamic control over every effect setting. Key features include:
- Fully tested compatibility with all the latest 24-bit Pro Tools hardware.
- Play effects like they were musical instruments! Hyperprism responds to every gesture, remembering and recreating each move and parameter change.
- Runs on both PCI and NuBus Power Macintoshes. Also compatible with older 68000-series Macs running Pro Tools TDM.
- All effect parameters, including stereo input gain, can be assigned to Hyperprism's Blue Window(TM) for real-time gestural control over parameter changes.
- Parameter change automation is achieved using the Pro Tools 4 track display, allowing easy editing of automation graphs.
- Effects which were previously mono-only can now be used on the stereo bus.
- DSP algorithms rewritten and optimized for more parameter control and better sound.
- Eight NEW effects added since the 2.0 release.
Hyperprism-TDM v2.1 features the following plug-in modules:
Pitch Changer * Noise Gate * Ring Modulator * Doppler * Low pass / High Pass Filter * Band Pass / Band Reject Filter * Flanger * Phaser * Chorus * Tremolo * Vibrato * Auto Pan * Stereo Dynamics * Quasi Stereo * More Stereo * Hyper Stereo * M-S Matrix * Balance * Synchronous Crossing Pan * Asynchronous Crossing Pan * Synchronous Sweeping Pan * Asynchronous Sweeping Pan * Sonic Decimator(TM)
Use Hyperprism-TDM's Blue Window to get effect settings fast, or generate effect variations, then enable the Pro Tools automation features to edit and play back dynamic parameter changes in real-time. Users can design subtle, evolving changes, or make radical sweeps through the settings, creating outrageous new sounds and effects.
Hyperprism-TDM is already in use by hundreds of recording studios, post-production facilities, multimedia developers, game designers and broadcast professionals. No other TDM plug-in package gives this much control over this many effects.
Hyperprism is developed and marketed by Arboretum Systems, Inc., a privately-held California software company. Hyperprism-TDM version 2.1 is now available at a U.S. suggested retail price of $499.00, international pricing may vary. Free Hyperprism-TDM Demos are available on the new Arboretum Systems Demo CD-ROM, or by download from: www.arboretum.com.
