mailing list issues

Due to some abuse of our mailing list (people submitting false addresses or other individual's email addresses), we have temporarily chosen to not use our list to inform our current users about new upgrades. When we have time, we will be implementing a confirmation system, and will send confirmation emails to all our existing users to ensure that we do not send unwanted emails to any individuals. You can still submit your email address if you like, as these issues will eventually be dealt with.

We apologize for the inconvenience in not being able to let everyone know about upgrades in a more efficient fashion, but for the time being, just check back here from time to time to make sure you're not missing out on anything.

it's here!

It took a while for this to be released, due in large part to a strong desire to be extra thorough with this version to make sure everything was well tuned, tested (on some 30+ machines), and in place... and we hope it's paid off. Sorry for the wait!

Many substantial improvements, new features, and critical bug fixes.

Version 1.4 suffered from certain problems (several of which were significant) which have been cleaned up in this release.

Be sure to upgrade to this version. This is definitely the most important upgrade to converter that we've ever released.

Download the new version here, or check out the new manual here.

The above snapshot is of one channel of spectral analysis in the new version, with temporal peak hold and bandwidth activity analysis.

Some of what's in the new version (check the manual for full details):

• 2 channels of ultra-fast (50fps+ on a P-100) spectral analysis with bandwidth activity analysis and approximate frequency detection, useful for diagnostic purposes as well as for programming the filters and audio to midi subsystem of converter
• aggressively optimized code resulting in huge performance gains
• giant timecode (smpte) and midi clock display panel readable from across a large room
• significantly improved graphics performance
• bootup system profiling and adjustment
• improved hardware support with better compatibility
• improved, careful subsystem re-designs
• easier installation and use, especially for new users
• many bugs, some critical, fixed

Even though this is the final version of converter for DOS, check back here from time to time this year for new Windows production software we're currently developing - Mac OSX users too!

Thanks to all our users out there for your support and feedback - it has been of great assistance to us along the way. What started out as an in-house experimental project never-to-be-released has gone much, much further than we ever expected. Thanks for putting all your trusty old PCs to good use!
