BIAS SHIPS VBOX 1.1 FOR WINDOWS AND MAC OS X
Powerful Multi-Effects Control Environment for VST Plug-Ins Now Available with Multiplatform Support
Macworld Expo • New York City, NY • July 17, 2002 • Booth #561 • BIAS, Inc. is pleased to announce that its revolutionary multi-effects control environment, Vbox 1.1, with support both Mac OS X and Windows operating systems, as well as Mac OS 9, is now shipping. BIAS Vbox 1.1 for Windows marks the company's first product release for the Windows platform; Vbox 1.1 for Mac OS X is among the first audio products for Apple's newest operating system. Following the release of BIAS Peak 3 and BIAS Deck 3.5 for OS X, the release of Vbox 1.1 brings the entire BIAS product line to Mac OS X.
BIAS Vbox (previously available for Mac OS 9 only) is a graphic control environment for VST plug-ins that offers unprecedented creative control. With its ability to combine, repatch, and mix multiple VST plug-in effects — up to hundreds of simultaneous plug-ins per channel — millions of unique sonic combinations are possible. And since it's compatible with a huge range of commercial, shareware, and freeware VST plug-ins, no other effects processing program is more flexible, compatible, and powerful.
Vbox integrates into any VST host program — including BIAS Peak, BIAS Deck, Steinberg Cubase, Steinberg Nuendo, Emagic Logic, and others — for realtime effects processing. Vbox also works as a free-standing application that can process and save audio files — or even record, process, and save a live feed. A host of additional features make Vbox the virtual effects box of choice for most any professional audio project, including creative sound effects design, mastering, DJ'ing, live performance, audio post-production, and radio production.
BIAS Vbox for Windows supports Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. "We're thrilled to offer our first pro audio product to the Windows community," said Steve Berkley, CEO and President of BIAS, Inc. "With so many VST plug-ins now available for the PC, along with VST host programs like Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo, Vbox is certain to be a 'must-have' for many Windows-based audio professionals and musicians."
Vbox 1.1 for Mac OS X is the latest product in the company's line to be ported to OS X. BIAS is the very first pro audio developer to ship its entire product line for OS X. Vbox for Mac OS X is fully Carbonized, and will run under either Mac OS X or OS 9. Vbox SE — identical to Vbox, except for the latter's free-standing capability — is also Carbonized, and has been fully integrated within Peak 3, BIAS' award-winning editing/processing/mastering application. Vbox SE is also bundled free with Deck 3.5, BIAS' highly-acclaimed multitrack digital audio workstation program.
Pricing and Availability
BIAS Vbox 1.1 is available now through the BIAS Worldwide Network of Dealers and Distributors for a suggested retail price of US $99. (Vbox SE for OS X is bundled free with BIAS Peak 3 and BIAS Deck 3.5.). Additional information and downloadable free trial versions can be found at www.bias-inc.com/vbox/.
