    By Guest |

    Digidesign has stated that a free creation software bundle to be included with all new Pro Tools TDM or LE systems. Starting September 2003, every new Digidesign Pro Tools system will now include Propellerhead Software Reason Adapted, Ableton Live Digidesign Edition, and IK Multimedia AmpliTube LE, SampleTank SE and T-RackS EQ in addition to core Pro Tools software.

    "Our new partnerships with Ableton, IK Multimedia and Propellerhead provide Pro Tools users with an incredible rich, varied and powerful palate of tools that allow them to start creating in new ways 'right out of the box,'" states Dave Lebolt, Digidesign general manager. "Now musicians will have a vast new "construction set" of music-making possibilities available to them, regardless of their differing styles or interests. Wherever you want to go creatively, these tools can help take you there, and they're included free in every Pro Tools system, from Mbox to Pro Tools|HD--across the entire Pro Tools product line."

    Propellerhead Software Reason Adapted is a studio package providing a virtual rack of MIDI-based synthesizers, samplers, drum machines and effects. All audio from Reason Adapted can be streamed directly into the Pro Tools mixer via ReWire for additional processing within Pro Tools.

    "Propellerhead Software is very pleased that Digidesign has implemented our ReWire InterApplication Protocol to connect Pro Tools to a number of advanced sound creation applications. We are especially proud of the fact that every Pro Tools user now can utilize the synthesis, sampling, processing and sequencing power of Reason 2.5 for music production on any Pro Tools level." comments Ernst Nathorst-Böös, Propellerhead Software CEO.

    Ableton Live has introduced the notion of the sequencer as an instrument. With Live you can launch loops or sound effects on the fly, allowing you to follow intuition rather than a fixed linear timeline. Automatic beat-matching and real-time quantization help creativity keep the flow. Improvise song arrangements, instantly drop samples on cue, interact with other performers, musicians or DJs. Recording, arranging, experimenting and improvising have never been faster or easier. Live Digidesign edition now brings most of Live's key features to Pro Tools users.

    IK Multimedia SampleTank SE is a special edition RTAS virtual instrument plug-in. SampleTank is a sound module providing quick access to a host of included sampled sounds with internal effects. AmpliTube LE is an RTAS guitar processing and amp modeling plug-in that gives users a variety of amplifier and cabinet models as well as classic stomp box and other effects. T-RackS EQ is the EQ module from IK Multimedia's T-RackS analog mastering suite. T-RackS EQ offers Pro Tools users a tube-modeled parametric EQ as an RTAS plug-in for use in mixing and mastering.
