FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wildcat Canyon Software Introduces Autoscore 2.0 You sing or play the tune. Autoscore writes it
down for you. Berkeley, CA (January, 1999) - After over a year an a half of intensive development and listening to feedback from thousands of users of the original release, Wildcat Canyon Software is introducing the latest version of its groundbreaking music software program Autoscore. Since its release, Autoscore has been changing the way that both beginners and professionals compose music on the computer. With Autoscore, the user can compose music just by singing or playing a tune into a microphone. The software instantly translates these sounds into written-down notes on the screen. Once finished, the user can edit, play back and harmonize-in additional tracks, all with the click of a few buttons. Unlike previous music software programs, which required cumbersome and expensive MIDI hardware to operate, Autoscore lets you compose music quickly and easily right out of the box - no special hardware required. With its ability to recognize and translate virtually any instrument or any human voice, Autoscore has revolutionized the music software industry and has been widely praised in the press and highly sought after as an OEM technology for numerous music-related computer products. With the release of Autoscore 2.0 (both Macintosh and Windows), Wildcat Canyon Software has incorporated dozens of improvements into its flagship product and has positioned Autoscore to become the must-have technology for 1999. Beyond optimizing its Mac product for the Power PC and incorporating full 32-bit Windows 95 technology into its Windows version, Wildcat Canyon has also improved Autoscore's pitch recognition algorithms, as well as making dozens of changes to the interface allowing for unprecedented ease of use. Autoscore 2.0 is also the first product to include Wildcat Canyon's new TruTrackTM technology, which works with today's sophisticated multimedia soundcards and allows for new levels of accuracy in both the scoring and playback of a user's composition. The new Autoscore also includes fully featured sequencers in both its Windows and Macintosh packages. These music programs have the ability to handle dozens of the tracks at once, and are designed to make playback, editing and printing compositions so easy that even a first-time computer musician can begin publishing and showing off their music to friends within minutes. Two versions of Autoscore are available. Autoscore 2.0 Deluxe has everything the average consumer needs to get started composing music on their computer. The Deluxe version includes all of the basic functions along with an included microphone and sequencer - all for an affordable $119 MSRP. By comparison, a standard computer music setup, which would require a keyboard, MIDI cables and music software program, often costs over $300. Autoscore 2.0 Professional is a tool for the serious hobbyist and studio musician. It costs $249 MSRP and includes such additional abilities as pitch-bend and volume tracking, customizable instrument filters and the ability to connect directly to many of today's most popular studio music programs.
