db audioware NEWS RELEASE

Quantum FX Version 2 Released

[Glasgow, UK, 18 August 2005]

db audioware has released version 2 of its flagship product, Quantum FX.  Quantum FX is a software modular effects system that enables musicians and sound engineers to design, build and modify plug-in effects and audio tools.  The system is supplied with over 50 professional quality ready-to-use effects and audio tools, with more available from the Quantum FX online effects library.

Quantum FX now supports Audio Units and VST on Mac OS X, and VST on PC Windows.

Major changes since version 1 include:

  • NEW! Audio Units and VST support for Mac OS X
  • NEW! Full sidechaining (for multi-track hosts)
    • control effects on one track using audio from a different track
  • NEW! MIDI control and MIDI Learn
    • MIDI Learn gives instant control of any QFX plug-in using an external MIDI control surface
    • Advanced MIDI control modules allow keyboard-driven effects to be built using the Workbench
  • MORE! Completely new ready-to-use plug-ins
    • SideDyn: sidechain compressor & gate, eg for voice ducking between tracks
    • ChainSaw: sidechaining resonant filter for multi-track hosts
    • Trance Gate: 32 step rhythmic gate & filter, synchronises to host tempo
    • Q-Delay: tempo based 3 channel delay, filter & panner
  • IMPROVED! Enhanced access to QFX plug-ins
    • Direct listing for fast pinpointing of effects in host applications
    • Improved support for 3rd party DirectX-VST adapters

In addition to the Workbench and 50+ Factory Effects, customers buying Quantum FX v2 will receive two bonus premium plug-ins:

  • "Destination" is a full mastering toolkit in one effect.  The renowned db audioware mastering technology updated for a new generation!
  • "Guitar Amp 2005" is the latest in a long line of virtual guitar amps from db audioware.  Loosely modelled on a classic British design (but with a highly modified gain/EQ structure), Guitar Amp 2005 has the authentic sound and "feel" of a good hardware amp.

Quantum FX is available for immediate purchase and download from the new-look db audioware website www.db-audioware.com

Quantum FX is on sale for a limited period at the reduced introductory price of USD 239 | EUR 215 | GBP 149
