Press Release

The PS-1 Performance Synthesizer is the result of an exciting collaboration between ProSounds and DASH Signature and has been designed with the advanced sound designer and electronic musician in mind, incorporating a large number of high-end features while still maintaining ease of use with its intuitive user interface.

The PS-1 is a VST instrument plugin for Windows featuring four multi
featured oscillators, custom WAV file import (with over 80 waveforms
included!), a mixer, 2 resonant multimode filters (routable in both serial
and parallel), two Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs) and two ADSR envelope generators. The PS-1 also includes some advanced performance features, such as a powerful arpeggiator and trancegate, as well as an effects unit.

The PS-1 also includes over 1000 professionally designed factory presets
covering a wide range of different sounds (basses, pads, leads, sound FX,
arps etc.) and suitable for every genre.

FEATURES

Oscillators:

* 4 high quality oscillators each with 12 different internal waveforms, and
over 70 extra external waveforms (WAV files).
* All 4 oscillators have separate controls for volume, pitch (octave,
semitone, fine) envelope amount, LFO amount, PWM amount, PWM mode (LFO,
envelope, manual).
* Separate mixer section with oscillator volume, mod amount, ring modulation
(oscillators 2 and 4), boost and a noise generation unit.
* All 4 oscillators can load custom waveforms (WAV files, 16 bits, 44.1khz,
mono).
* True mono-legato mode with glide.


Filters:

* Two resonant multimode filter units with low pass (12db, 24db), high pass,
band pass, and notch filter types and automatic gain reduction.
* Both filter units operate in either parallel or serial modes (with mode
selection and mix control).
* Optional keyboard tracking of cutoff frequency for each filter unit.
* Both filter units have separate controls for type, cutoff, resonance,
envelope amount, LFO amount and keyboard tracking.
* Smooth filter option.


Envelope Generators:

* 2 envelope generators each with attack, decay time, sustain level and
release time (ADSR), as well as velocity control.
* Envelope 1 is dedicated to oscillator volume.
* Envelope 2 is used for filter cutoff, resonance, pitch and oscillator PWM.


Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs):

* 2 LFO units each with control over rate, shape and delay.
* LFO 1 is dedicated to PWM, Filter Mix, or Noise Level.
* LFO 2 is used for filter / pitch / volume.
* Both LFO units can be synced to master MIDI Clock.


Performance Tools:

* Arpeggiator with mode selection (up, down, up/down etc.), octave range,
and speed controls.
* Trancegate with a 16-button grid. Option to sync speed to master MIDI
Clock.


Effects:

* High quality distortion unit.
* Digital delay with modulation.
* Double chorus unit.
* Reverb unit.


Other Features:

* Digital display, that shows the value of each parameter during editing.
* Up to 16 voices.
* Auto glide switch on/off.
* MIDI learn functions.
* Random preset generator with 4 modes.
* Sound quality selector, for saving CPU usage.
* Low CPU usage with advanced voice allocation.
* Over 1000 professionally designed factory presets.


SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

* PC running Windows 98 or higher.
* 800 MHz processor (1000 MHz or higher is recommended for optimum
performance).
* 256MB RAM (512MB RAM or higher is recommended for optimum performance).
* A VST compatible host (such as Cubase SX).

PRICING & AVAILABILITY

The PS-1 Performance Synthesizer is priced at EUR 119.00 and is available
