DUY PRESS RELEASE Barcelona, 15 September 2003 * DUY ships Pro Tools|HD Accel- compatible plug-ins DUY announces the imminent shipping of new versions of the entire range of TDM plug-ins. These new versions include compatibility with Digidesignıs new hardware, the ProTools|HD Accel cards, as well as a breathtaking list of new features for all these products. New versions are expected to ship the last week of September, though updates and upgrades will be available from DUYıs website on 22nd September. Demo versions will also be downloadable on 25th September. * ProTools|HD Accel compatibility and great optimization of resources The new versions support Digidesignıs ProTools|HD Accel cards and take advantage of the new processing capabilities to allow an average of double the number of plug-in instances per chip. * DUY presents PolySpider DUY PolySpider is an extra addition for users of DUY SynthSpider. PolySpider is a 6-voice polyphonic version of SynthSpider. This will allow users to have six voices with just one instance instead of having to create separate instances for each voice. This version of SynthSpider can be used at 44.1 KHz and 48 KHz. PolySpider is free for registered users and is included in the package for new customers. DUY PolySpider can be inserted when Digidesign HD|Accel hardware is present. * DSPider and ReDSPider now support 192 KHz DUYıs DSPider and ReDSPider plug-ins can now be used at 192 KHz on Digidesignıs new HD|Accel cards. Users of previous HD hardware versions can continue to use the software at sample rates up to 96 KHz. Improvements in DUY DaD Tape and DUY DaD Valve We have carried out a complete revision of the code of DUY DaD Valve and DUY DaD Tape, included in DUYıs Global Bundle and Analog Bundle. This has allowed us to achieve a greater number of instances on HD|Accel systems, while leaving the original algorithm untouched, preserving the addition of warmth to the sound that DUY is so well-known for. Many Mix and HD users will also take advantage of this new optimization. * Several instances of DUY Shape at 192 KHz DUYıs Shape TDM plug-in, included in Global Bundle, can now be used by any ProTools|HD user at 192 KHz in stereo, and the number of instances for Accel users is greatly improved at all sample rates. The improvement is also considerable for users of older HD hardware. * More Max DUY Max DUY has also seen an optimization of resources that will now allow users to have more instances per chip at all sampling rates. * Current versions The latest versions of DUYıs TDM products for OSX will now be the following: DUY Global Bundle 3.1 DUY Analog Bundle 3.1 DUY DSPider 3.1 DUY ReDSPider 3.1 DUY SynthSpider 2.1 OS9-compatible versions remain the same (3.0 for all, except SynthSpider 2.0). * How to obtain the latest versions?
