November 16, 2005M-Audio and Digidesign have announced that Pro Tools M-Powered 7 software is now available.
This new version extends support to five M-Audio USB
peripherals--Black Box, M-Audio Ozone, MobilePre USB, Fast Track USB, and
Transit--while delivering significantly expanded MIDI, audio recording and
editing capabilities; greater mixing power and flexibility; enhanced
efficiency; and improved ease of use.
Compatibility with select M-Audio USB products brings users a variety of new
music production options. For Pro Tools recording on the go, the Transit,
MobilePre USB, and Fast Track USB all offer compact size and bus-powered
operation. Specialized production hardware like the Black Box now gives
guitarists access to the industry standard in music production, in addition
to killer amp modeling, unique beat-synced effects and inspiring drum
patterns. Keyboardists and electronic music producers benefit from support
of the M-Audio Ozone, which integrates a keyboard, MIDI control surface,
audio/MIDI interface, mic/instrument preamp and headphone monitors. These
five peripherals join M-Audio's complete line of FireWire audio and Delta
PCI interfaces, which are already compatible with Pro Tools M-Powered
software.
"Pro Tools 7 software is Digidesign's most exciting software release to
date," says Dave Lebolt, Digidesign General Manager. "We've added new music
creation tools such as Instrument Tracks for simple and straightforward
integration of virtual instruments, non-destructive real-time MIDI
processing, and the ability to work with industry-standard REX and ACID
files. It is also optimized to boost RTAS plug-in counts by as much as 150%
on multi-processor computers. Pro Tools 7 software is power-packed to give
our users more flexibility to create completely within the Pro Tools
environment."
Pro Tools 7 software is a cross-platform release, supporting Windows XP and
Mac OS X computers. Current registered Pro Tools M-Powered software
customers are eligible for a free update to Pro Tools M-Powered 7 software,
which will run with their existing Pro Tools M-Powered 6.8 software iLok
authorizations. Boxed copies of Pro Tools M-Powered 7 software will be
available to new customers at an MSRP of $299.95. Updates are now available
to current registered users via download from www.m-audio.com; boxed
versions are expected to be available by the end of November.
