ANNOUNCEMENT: Technology Preview Release of the Sfx SAOL Compiler.

For Immediate Release.

I am pleased to announce the debut of a new SAOL compiler.

Please visit http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/sfx/ to learn about the Sfx
Compiler and Development system.

Sfx is an audio compiler system that provides professional-quality audio
synthesis, real-time Midi and audio generation, fully customizable
instruments and effects, and SoundFont/2 support. The Sfx language is an
superset of the SAOL language, officially incorporated into the MPEG-4 Audio
standard. For more information on what Sfx is and how it does it, visit
http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/sfx/what.html . To hear actual samples
of Sfx audio output, and view sample programs used to generate Sfx audio
ouput, visit http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/sfx/samples.html .

Sfx is currently free. However, to use Sfx you will need to have Microsoft
Visual C++ pre-installed on your system. Support for Borland C++ (currently
available at no charge from www.borland.com), and possibly for GCC (if I can
find a sensible WinXX distribution) will be available shortly.

To download the Technology Preview release of Sfx and the Sfx Development
environment, go to http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/sfx/download.html .

Please note that the Sfx Technology Preview implementation does not
implement the full SAOL language. Go to
http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/sfx/status.html to read about the
current state of the Sfx implementation.

Go to http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/sfx/extensions.html to read about
extensions to the SAOL language implemented by Sfx.

Robin Davies.
