Marmalade Multimedia is pleased to announce the release of the new AmplitudePro Xtra 1.0 and version 2.5 of the Amplitude Xtra for Macromedia Director.
--------------------------- The AmplitudePro Xtra 1.0 --------------------------- The AmplitudePro Xtra 1.0 allows Macromedia Director movies to respond in real time to spectrum and amplitude data derived from sound cast members. Spectrum data is a representation of the relative power of frequency bands in the sound over time and amplitude data is a representation of the relative overall loudness of the sound over time - in other words, it represents the waveform of the sound. The xtra sends a continuous stream of values to Director while a sound is playing. The AmplitudePro Xtra 1.0 includes all the functionality of the Amplitude Xtra 2.5 (see below for more details). With the AmplitudePro Xtra, you can, * create visualizations of sound cast members using normal Director sprites, imaging Lingo or Shockwave 3D * synchronize animations to frequency values * create graphical EQ displays * respond to frequency values either graphically or interactively, as a sound is playing The AmplitudePro Xtra, * works with internal sound cast members (including SWA and MP3) * works with externally linked WAVE, AIFF, SWA and MP3 files * works with Director 8, 8.5 and MX * is cross-platform (Windows, MacOS 8/9, MacOS X) * is safe for use with Shockwave * works with streaming Shockwave audio The xtra has a number of Lingo functions for setting parameters and receiving data from sound cast members. There are also a number of easily configurable xtra properties, including, * frequency range - low and high cutoff values * number of bands used for spectrum data * optionally select a logarithmic distribution of band ranges * optionally set custom frequency ranges for all bands Pricing --------- Version 1.0 of the AmplitudePro Xtra is priced at $US165 for a single-user license. This includes the Windows and Macintosh xtras, Windows and Macintosh Shockwave xtra packages, the AmplitudePro Generator utility and complete documentation. Once registered the AmplitudePro xtra can be used in shipping products, the unregistered xtra is functional within Director. Upgrades ---------- Current registered users of the Amplitude Xtra can upgrade to the Amplitude Pro Xtra at a discounted price of $US50 for a limited time. More Info... ------------- For more information and to download the AmplitudePro Xtra please go to, http://www.marmalademedia.com.au/amplitudepro/ To view Shockwave examples of the AmplitudePro Xtra at work see, http://www.marmalademedia.com.au/amplitudepro/amppro_examples.htm To upgrade please go to, http://www.marmalademedia.com.au/amplitudepro/order_upgrade.htm --------------------------- The Amplitude Xtra 2.5 --------------------------- The Amplitude Xtra allows Director movies to receive amplitude values for sound cast members in real time as a sound is playing. These values represent the relative "loudness" of the sound and can be used to synchronize sound and vision in a variety of useful ways, including animating sprites, implementing lip-sync in animated characters or plotting waveforms and VU meters. The Amplitude Xtra: * is cross-platform, * works with Director 7, 8.0 and 8.5 * supports all common sound formats (including SWA and MP3), * works with internal and external sound cast members, * supports streaming Shockwave audio, * is Shockwave safe New Features -------------- Version 2.5 of the Amplitude Xtra contains the following new features: * Normalize - a boolean (true/false) property. When true the sample data from the targeted sound will be normalized to 100% before being processed. * ampGetMonoCurve() - a method that returns a mono list even if the targeted sound is stereo. * Numerous bug fixes. The User Guide has been revised to cover the new features. Pricing --------- Version 2.5 of the Amplitude Xtra is reasonably priced at $US85 for a single-user license. This includes the Windows and Macintosh xtras, Windows and Macintosh Shockwave xtra packages, the Amplitude Generator utility and complete documentation. Once registered the Amplitude xtra can be used in shipping products, the unregistered xtra is functional within Director. Upgrades ---------- The upgrade to version 2.5 of the Amplitude Xtra is free for all registered users of the Amplitude Xtra.
