Spectrasonics S.A.G.E. Technology extensive real-time control, creation and manipulation o

Virtual instrument developer Spectrasonics has used Winter NAMM 2004 to debut its new software technology called S.A.G.E. "Spectrasonics Advanced Groove Engine." S.A.G.E. is an underlying core technology that allows extensive real-time control, creation and manipulation of grooves while retaining state-of-the-art sound quality. The addition of its own powerful software technology marks a new milestone for the company as a full-fledged software developer. S.A.G.E. technology will be used in many new products from Spectrasonics in the future, starting with the new "Stylus RMX" virtual instrument being previewed at NAMM.

"S.A.G.E. is ushering in the next era of Spectrasonics," states Spectrasonics Founder and Creative Director, Eric Persing. "For years we have dreamed of the possibilities that an in-house software development team could offer in order to fully realize our ideas, and now we have it. S.A.G.E. is our first technological innovation, and its the foundation that we can build on for many different instruments we are planning for the future. Musically, Im extremely excited about what S.A.G.E. powered products will open up for our users. This technology offers a completely new level of freedom to create in real-time, with an unprecedented level of flexibility. S.A.G.E. does all the hard work of synchronization and complex organization behind the scenes, allowing the user to focus on the creative part of exploring the endless new musical possibilities."

In the past, Spectrasonics has licensed its core technology to create virtual instrument products. Now with S.A.G.E., new products are being created from the ground up that support the company's long-term vision of the highest-quality sounds and the most musically intuitive user experience.

S.A.G.E. expands on what Spectrasonics has done before with its award-winning Groove Control system of sound development, which enables powerful, independent control over tempo, pitch, feel and pattern. Groove Control always keeps the highest quality sound with the maximum flexibility, unlike traditional audio time-stretching technologies. Spectrasonics best-selling "Stylus" Vinyl Groove Module was the industry's first Groove Control enabled virtual instrument plug-in. S.A.G.E. technology allows the full potential of Groove Control to be realized, all in real-time, with dozens of unique features like the remarkable Chaos Designer, which allows loops to infinitely improvise and remix themselves in musical ways.

All S.A.G.E. powered virtual instruments, such as "Stylus RMX," also have truly unlimited expansion potential. Every S.A.G.E. powered instrument will be fully compatible with all Groove Control sample libraries, offering an easy way to vastly expand the instrument with inspiring new sounds and grooves. S.A.G.E. powered instruments are also fully compatible with Propellerhead's REX1 and REX2 files, which opens the potential to integrate a users own audio loops through Propellerheads ReCycle application.

"Spectrasonics' product vision is to offer innovative tools to make music, a rich combination of cutting-edge sounds and deep technology, not simply bundled sounds with a sample player. The integration of the powerful S.A.G.E. technology with our well-known expertise in sound design, make instruments like the new "Stylus RMX" virtual instrument a whole new creative experience," concluded Persing.
