Sounds Logical has announced the release of the upgraded version of their flagship product, WaveWarp 1.2, now featuring multi-channel real-time live audio inputs. Combined with the full power of WaveWarp's DrawingBoard architecture, you can now manipulate your live audio signals in virtually any conceivable manner. For example, speak into your computer and hear your voice backwards in real-time, or plug your guitar in and create your own real-time multi-dimensional multi-layered surround sound effects box...the possibilities are virtually endless.

The software is available for purchase on-line from the Sounds Logical website (www.soundslogical.com) for an end-user price of US$199 per licensed copy (free demo also available). A new Lite version (without multirate or multichannel I/O) is available for US$99, and can be upgraded to the full version for the difference of US$100.

At NAMM2000, there will be demonstrations of WaveWarp 1.2 with multichannel "live" I/O, plus a preview of WaveWarp 2.0 (not yet released) featuring DirectX and VST plugin functionality, plus ASIO and DirectSound I/O support.

WaveWarp is a modular, real-time, audio effects processor for Windows 95/98/NT, running native on a Pentium-class PC with any Windows-compatible soundcard. With over 260 modular components, WaveWarp provides the essential building blocks for creating elaborate audio effect algorithms from scratch. Sample by-sample execution of all components allows arbitrary connections in series, parallel, feedforward, and feedback networks. The multirate engine supports "on- the-fly" sample rate conversion between components.

WaveWarp supports live audio inputs and 8-, 16-, 20-, 24-, and 32-bit WAV files of any sample rate. All internal calculations are performed in 32-bit floating point precision. For added flexibility, the WaveWarp distribution includes a suite of MATLAB m-files for importing/exporting digital filters, wavetables, envelopes functions, etc.

WaveWarp is designed for audio engineers, musicians, sound designers, or educators who require a high level of control over the signal processing / effect algorithm architecture and design.
