Midisoft adds waveform audio recording/ editing and lyrics to new MIDI Kit 2.0.

ISSAQUAH, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 7, 1995--Midisoft Corp. (NASDAQ/NM:MIDI) has started shipping MIDI Kit 2.0, an upgrade to one of its most popular products.

MIDI Kit is a multimedia accessory consisting of a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) adapter cable and Recording Session Plus. Recording Session Plus is included free with the MIDI Kit.

The Windows software, in conjunction with the MIDI adapter cable, enables users to record from a MIDI instrument, edit music easily using a mouse, assign instrument sounds to tracks and play back compositions.

The two most important new features in Recording Session Plus are: waveform audio (.WAV) recording and the ability to add lyrics to music. MIDI Kit 2.0 has a suggested retail price of $79.95 (U.S.), and an upgrade to the software is available to registered MIDI Kit users for $19.95.

New Waveform Audio and Lyric Capabilities

New waveform audio capabilities give the user the ability to easily record vocals, sound effects and acoustic instruments digitally with a standard microphone, and then integrate this digital audio along with MIDI tracks to create a song. The program makes it very easy to record .WAV files and accurately place them anywhere in the song. Any number of .WAV files can be placed on the digital audio track.

With the new lyrics feature, a user can now add words to any MIDI track containing notes. Lyrics are entered via a simple dialog box. The software automatically informs the user how many syllables are available for each measure, which depends on the number of notes or chords resident in the measure. The syllables are then automatically tied to the notes by the software.

``As users are becoming more familiar with computer audio, the demand for easily connecting a MIDI instrument to a PC is increasing rapidly,'' said Raymond Bily, chairman and chief executive officer of Midisoft. ``Since MIDI Kit brings the user an easy MIDI connection, with music creating and editing software as a bonus, we feel that MIDI Kit is a major value.''

Distribution

MIDI Kit 2.0 has a suggested retail price of $79.95 (U.S.) and a street price of between $49 and $65. Distribution is through Ingram Micro, Merisel, Tech Data, Josha, Thinkware and Navarre domestically. Canadian distribution is handled by Ingram Micro Canada and Deshaies-Raymond Informatique Inc. Distribution abroad is through a growing worldwide network of international distributors.
