What's New at MIDIMAN: MIDIMAN Introduces Digital Audio for the Rest of the World
Midiman now has a preliminary NT driver for its very popular DMAN Digital Sound Card. This prelimanary driver is available in the FTP area of our web site. Please feel free to download and try these drivers and let us know how they are working for you. Keep in mind that they have to be used under Windows NT with an NT compatable application.
In case you aren't aware of it, Midiman's DMAN is available bundled with the popular Soundspirations Samplitude program. This bundle is called DMAN Digital Studio and retails for $299.95. Samplitude is completely NT compatible and will run just fine with the DMAN under Windows NT. But if you are running under Windows NT you must use the new DMAN NT drivers.
MIDIMAN's most recent product offerings have firmly established it in the ever growing digital audio market. DMan Digital Audio Card ($249.95 msrp) sets a new standard in digital audio for the PC. The new DMan provides a high-quality, full duplex PC digital audio card with the sound quality and specifications of more expensive cards for less than one third of the price. MIDIMAN has also introduced the DMan Digital Studio ($299.00 msrp), which packages the DMan with Samplitudešs popular Multimedia Version hard disk recording software, representing a tremendous customer value. Add MIDIMANšs new programmable EQ Man PC Card ($99.95 msrp) to the PC computer recording studio to provide total stereo equalization for your sound source, recording or mix. DMan, DMan Studio and EQ Man are ALL now shipping.
With the digital audio explosion, every serious musician should consider the flexibility of having a digital audio patchbay. MIDIMAN will soon be shipping its DigiPatch 12x6 our new, affordable 12 In / 6 Out digital audio patchbay. DigiPatch 12x6 includes both optical and RCA-type connectors for switching S/PDIF and ADAT optical signals, and retails for only $699.95. DigitPatch 12x6 will be shipping in April of 97.
In keeping with MIDIMANšs role as the world leader in MIDI interfaces, MIDIMAN showed its new Portman 4x4/S ($279.95 msrp), 4 In, 4 Out PC MIDI interface. The Portman 4x4/S plugs into any PC parallel port, reads and writes all SMPTE formats, is half rack sized and acts as a stand-alone MIDI Patchbay. The Portman 4x4/S can send and receive MIDI on all 4 channels at full MIDI bandwidth -- unlike almost all other multiport interfaces on the market. Portman 4x4/S is now shipping.
MIDIMAN is also now shipping its new Keystation PRO MIDI Controller ($199.95 msrp), an affordable, full-sized MIDI controller keyboard with velocity sensitivity, modulation and pitch wheels. The Keystation Pro features: 49 full-sized keys, transpose octave up and down switches, program & bank select switches, MIDI controller number assignable to wheel, transmit MIDI channel select, 10 numeric keys, and a General MIDI mode reset switch. Providing the ultimate in portability, the Keystation Pro operates from either battery power or the included 9 volt dc power supply.
