"PERCUSSA TO INTRODUCE 4 NEW SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS FOR AUDIOCUBES PLATFORMMARCH 24, 2009 - MERE, BELGIUM — Percussa, a Belgium based electronic musical instruments company, will debut new software for its AudioCubes hardware platform at the upcoming Musikmesse.
AudioCubes are a modular live performance instrument. They let you shape sound, create music and perform live through hands-on interaction with wireless intelligent objects. "AudioCubes offer new ways to interact with your existing audio software, beyond what is possible with classic knob boxes and trigger pads", says AudioCubes designer and company founder Bert Schiettecatte.
Percussa is showing a demo of the new MIDIBridge, the main software to use AudioCubes with your existing MIDI compatible instruments and software. The new version boasts over 50 improvements and bug fixes collected over the past year from AudioCubes users.
Besides presenting an update to the MIDI Bridge application, Percussa will demo a new VST plugin for AudioCubes called VSTWrapper, which lets AudioCubes interface seamlessly with your existing DAW software without complicated setup. The VST plugin itself works with your existing VST plugins and AudioUnits. Templates are included to get you started quickly.
To let AudioCubes work with your existing DJ software, DJBridge will be presented, a customized MIDIBridge application which works with popular DJ Software such as Image-Line's Deckadance. The application lets you easily control transport, EQs, effects and looping functions, by object location and orientation, and hand gestures. Colours can be set statically or controlled
by MIDI clock where available.
Last but not least, a loop-creation and sound design tool called LoopShaper will be available for demo, which is a standalone mini-VST host, made specifically to support professionals needing to design loops and sounds through hands-on interaction with AudioCubes, letting them do their job without running a full blown DAW software during their creative moments. High-speed, high-resolution, better-than- MIDI sensor technology makes sure even the most subtle performance gestures are captured.
All applications are to be released as free downloads for all AudioCubes users after the Musikmesse. "We are committed to providing support and new applications to our users, to unlock the endless possibilities of AudioCubes at each point in the workflow of music producers, live performers and sound designers", says Bert Schiettecatte.
AudioCubes are available in sets of 1, 2, 4 or 8 cubes, and come with first class technical support by the designer himself and 2 years of warranty. Manuals in 6 languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Japanese) can be browsed and downloaded on the Percussa website. AudioCubes work with computers running Mac OSX 10.4 or later, or Windows XP SP2 or later. Works with Vista and Leopard. No drivers necessary.
