`13.Dec.2003` Thilo Köhler (ANF)	Announcement: new demo version 0.9beta of HD-Rec There'll be a new beta demo version of HD-Rec available for download before Christmas. "HD-Rec" is a MIDI and audio sequencer, i.e. audio and MIDI recordings can be arranged in the same window and replayed synchronously. Particular improvements in V0.9beta: Audio mixer with 16+1+1 true stereo channels and 4 Aux ways realtime audio effects (reverb, delay, chorus, equalizer...) strongly improved softsynth "Sweeper" (resonance filter, samples) The aim of HD-Rec is to be able to do a whole music production from the composing to the mastering within one application. Using the softsynth and the audio effects of HD-Rec you'll need no external sound producer or effects devices. The music signal doesn't leave the computer at no time and can be exported directly as WAV or MP3 file. The quality is always excellent and independant from the sound card. Noise, buzzing or whimping are now part of the past. The whole scenery (mixer settings, effects, sounds, notes) are saved on the computer and are reproduced 1:1 when being reloaded. The softsynth "Sweeper" offers independant from the computing power always exact sample timing and can be played in realtime via an external master keyboard if needed. Though, for this you need a fast computer with 500 MHz clock or more. Sweeper has very different synthesis algorithms and supports multisamples. Because of this, a wide sound spectrum is possible, from the old C64 sound across Techno to a realistic piano or string ensemble. HD-Rec is a system friendly 68K application and doesn't make any use of the custom chips - therefore it runs on the "classic" Amiga as well as under WinUAE and Amithlon. In addition, the program has already successfully been tested under MorphOS.
