PRESS RELEASE
Opcode Cuts Prices, Releases Vision DSP for $59.95
May 30, 1999
Advertisement Effective June 1, 1999 Opcode Systems, a division of Gibson Guitar Inc., has announced a radical new pricing strategy for their award-winning Macintosh music sequencing software. The new suggested retail prices have been lowered by 60% for Vision DSP(tm) (now $199.95) and Studio Vision Pro(tm) (now $399.95). In addition, a $59.95 version of Vision DSP is also available to US customers as a software download directly from Opcode's web site. The $59.95 web download version of Vision DSP is a full version of the software application including OMS and software PDF file manuals. The product is sold without telephone technical support and without the extras that come with the boxed, in-store version such as the Bias Peak SE sample editing software. An online area is being developed to help support the first-time user, which includes a primer on setup and basic terminology. "We feel there's a growing opportunity in the high volume 'shareware-like' software area," continued Sherman. "The Internet is exploding with new concepts of software distribution and support. We see this as an inflection point for the entire industry and we're proud to be aggressively embracing these changes." Vision DSP is a Macintosh audio and MIDI sequencer for composing, arranging and recording music. It is compatible with real-time audio plug-ins and ASIO(tm) audio hardware, and Opcode's new MIDIport 32(tm) USB MIDI interface. Studio Vision Pro adds compatibility for the powerful Digidesign Pro Tools TDM(tm) hardware system and also includes Opcode's patented Audio-to-MIDI(tm) and MIDI-to-Audio(tm) capability.
