SoftMC 3.0 MIDI Automation Software Released

TB Systems announces its latest release of their top selling software package SoftMC. SoftMC Version 3.0 is a unique Windows application specifically designed for real time MIDI control and automation of effects processors, mixers, and other midi controlled devices, in a variety of recording studio and sound reinforcement applications.

SoftMC Version 3.0 builds upon the extensive real time control capabilities of its predecessors by adding a comprehensive list of new and useful features which include snapshot automation, drag and drop event control, a scaleable plug-in architecture, and a new keyboard interface, to name just a few.

Users can create events by several methods including drag and drop, by taking a snapshot of the current state of their equipment, or by editing a blank event. Events, when triggered, can configure up to 128 devices simultaneously. Events can be triggered randomly or sequentially, either manually using the mouse or keyboard, or automatically when synchronized to MIDI time code. Real time parameter level control is maintained at all times.

Along with one key access to the majority of SoftMC Version 3.0's features, SoftMC's new keyboard interface includes programmable function keys for device selection and three keypad modes for loading presets, triggering events, and editing cues. Events can be triggered sequentially with the space bar, edited presets can be compared to the original by pressing and holding the End key, and presets can be loaded and events triggered using the keypad. All making SoftMC Version 3.0 extremely efficient to use in time critical situations.

SoftMC Version 3.0's scaleable M.A.P.L.E. (Multiple Access Plug-In Language Environment) architecture allows users to configure SoftMC to meet their requirements. The included program change and generic plug-ins allow users programmable control over any MIDI device. Optional plug-ins are available offering dedicated real time parameter level control and editing capabilities for devices from manufactures such as Lexicon, TC Electronic, Yamaha, BSS, Weiss, and many others.

SoftMC Version 3.0 is currently available in two versions, SoftMC Professional and SoftMC LE. SoftMC LE offers the same preset and parameter level control as SoftMC Professional but without the automation and event control modules. A demo of SoftMC Version 3.0 is available on the TB Systems web site. Special upgrade pricing is available to registered users of SoftMC V1.0 and SoftMC V2.0.
