SPL and CreamWare Bring Transient Designer
to SCOPE Platform
October 1, 1999SPL's famous Transient Designer is soon available for the
Pulsar/SCOPE
platform. Within a close cooperation of developers, SPL and CreamWare developed
a perfect digital model of the Transient Designer process that, for the first
time, brings the full quality of the originally analog unit to the digital domain.
"We were totally amazed to hear the results of the SCOPE implementation
on basis of the SHARC DSPs - no doubt, we heard and tested the first digital Transient
Designer that sounds and works just like our traditionally analog circuitry. We're
thrilled to see what other things become possible working with CreamWare and their
SCOPE technology", comments Hermann Gier, Managing Director of SPL. Frank
Hund, Managing Director of CreamWare states "We're proud to have SPL on board
our platform, their unique products and techniques are of great value for our
users as they are for any serious audio engineer."
The Transient Designer utilizes SPL's "Differential Envelope Techology"
(DET(TM)) and allows threshold-independent dynamic processing that enables sound
engineers to gain direct control about attack and sustain of audio signals. The
Transient Designer is being used by many top engineers to increase or decrease
dynamic punctuation and presence of percussive audio signals. SPL now releases
two affordable versions of their Transient Designer technology, specially designed
for CreamWare's Pulsar DSP card.
The "Attacker" module (US$ 69) allows increasing attack of percussive
signals and can drastically improve the "punch" of drums, loops and
guitar signals. The "Transient Designer" module (US$ 249) offers both
increase and decrease of attack and sustain. Both licenses allow simultaneous
processing of four audio channels. Release of both products is expected within
October 1999. For more information, visit CreamWare on the web at www.creamware.com. |
