CreamWare Releases PowerSampler Mac Version and PC update

  Siegburg Germany, August 18, 2000 -- Version 2.03 of the PowerSampler DSP system is now available. This version PowerSampler now also runs on the Macintosh platform. The functionality of the Mac and PC versions is identical.

A major new feature of PowerSampler version 2.03 is its ability to sample at 24-bit or even 32-bit resolution. PowerSampler is thus the first sampler to support this advanced standard, which guarantees the utmost in sonic fidelity. Version 2.03 also incorporates a number of minor improvements and fixes.

PowerSampler is a complete studio-grade sampler on a single PCI-card. The combination of highly sophisticated sampling software and powerful DSP hardware ensures professional performance and perfect timing. The dedicated DSP hardware enables PowerSampler to perform without latency while imposing virtually no load upon the host CPU.

PowerSampler features 32 stereo voices, a 16-channel multi-mode, extensive editing features including a fully integrated graphical sample editor, and a 24-channel mixer with chorus and delay effects. Samples and programs in AKAI S1000 & S3000, Soundfont 2, WAV and AIFF format can be loaded directly from the computer's internal CD-ROM drive or hard disk.

The PowerSampler DSP hardware features four inputs and outputs offering 24-bit / 96 kHz quality (stereo analog and S/PDIF). Via the optional ADAT / Z-Link Expansion, the number of available I/Os can be increased up to 36. Thanks to an extensive set of drivers, the PowerSampler inputs and outputs can be used for other software applications as well. The system comes with ultra-low-latency drivers for ASIO 2.0, EASI, MME, DirectSound, GigaSampler, tripleDAT, Sound Manager and OMS. Via the S/TDM Bus Connector, a second PowerSampler card can be added to the system to double the number of voices and I/Os.

PowerSampler users can download the PC update and the Mac version at www.creamware.com. As the DSP hardware is identical for both platforms, crossgrades can be made at any time at no cost to the user.
