BitHeadz Inc., the award winning manufacturer of software instruments, announced the release of Retro Lite, an entry-level software synthesizer. Based on the critically acclaimed Retro AS-1 virtual analog synthesizer used by professional musicians worldwide, Retro Lite offers a powerful yet affordable solution for generating classic analog synth sounds. For previewing patches, an on-screen keyboard application is included that can be played using the mouse, the QWERTY keyboard, or any MIDI keyboard. Splits, layers, and arpeggios can be programmed using the MIDI Processor. For use with a MIDI sequencer, the Retro Lite Mixer is provided to facilitate easy loading and saving of multi-timbral set-ups. No additional hardware or software is required to use Retro Lite. However, users with additional audio or MIDI equipment will appreciate the high level of integration that can be achieved. Retro Lite ships with support for 24-bit/96kHz resolution, up to 64-voice polyphony, and the necessary drivers for use with 3rd party hardware and software. Retro Lite ($79 MSRP) supports ASIO, Direct I/O, MAS 2.0, ReWire, and Sound Manager. For users interested in creating and editing custom patches, an upgrade to the Retro AS-1 Software Synthesizer is available which includes a more extensive patch library. A Windows version of Retro Lite is expected to ship in Q4 2000. For more information, visit their web site at http://www.bitheadz.com/.Recent BitHeadz headlines
