CreamWare unveils Luna 2496 DSP - High-Quality, Cross Platform Audio Interface - CreamWare unveiled Luna 2496 DSP, an uncompromising audio I/O interface system for both Windows and Macintosh computers. Luna features a number of analog and digital I/Os in 24 bit/96 kHz, the new Ultra Low Latency Interface (ULLI) with a comprehensive driver set and three SHARC DSPs for audio processing as well as for mixing. In hardware, Luna consists of a new PCI card and an external AD/DA converter box. The card hosts stereo analog and stereo S/P-DIF digital inputs and outputs. The converter box adds another eight analog I/Os. The system can operate all of these channels in full 24-bit resolution at 96 kHz speed at the same time. The system can also be easily expanded with additional I/Os (up to 36 I/Os per unit – two units can be linked via S/TDM bus). The Luna system incorporates a 24-channel mixing software. Thanks to the on-board DSPs, the mixer can also integrate external equipment (such as hardware synths or effects processors) into the setup –and it handles all audio in realtime, without perceptible latency. Another feature of the Luna software package is its free-routing window. It provides the user with a precise overview of the current routing setup and permits the quick and easy creation of any desired signal routing between drivers, hardware I/Os and the mixing application – all via virtual cables. Of course, any number of setups can be created and saved for later instant recall. According to Creamware, Luna 2496 DSP is scheduled to be available in Q II 2000. The suggested retail price will be US$ 998. Luna 2496 converter box will be sold also stand-alone as I/O expansion for the Luna 2496 DSP system, PowerSampler and future planned CreamWare products. The suggested retail price will be US$ 598. Koblo News: Positive Vibrations from the Koblobians - Koblo is sponsoring Abet Music's annual Songwriting Contest.
