BLUE RIBBON ANNOUNCES AWARD-WINNING MUSIC ENGINE FOR MULTIMEDIA ************************NEWS RELEASE***************************
April 28, 1995 - The Blue Ribbon SoundWorks, pioneers of the
music and multimedia marketplace, formally announced the
availability of AudioActive(TM), a revolutionary technology and
application programming interface (API) that gives Windows
access to intelligent real-time music composition and
performance capabilities. Now multimedia producers and
developers can license AudioActive from Blue Ribbon to add music
to their games, screen savers, and other multimedia applications. AudioActive, winner of Byte magazine's Best of Comdex award,
drives Blue Ribbon's line of Windows products. It allows any
application to create original copyright-free soundtracks in
real-time. Simple descriptors such as happy, mysterious, slow or
excited, along with appropriate user-interface cues, provide
AudioActive with the means necessary to compose a unique
accompaniment.
"Music plays a pivotal role in multimedia, " remarked company
president, Melissa Jordan Grey. "Before AudioActive, developers
had to enlist the services of a composer or license stock music
clips to integrate music into their applications. Even then,
music could not truly punctuate the action in a dynamically-
changeable manner. AudioActive changes that by transforming
musical accompaniments from a passive, last-minute thought to
an intelligent, driving, value-added multimedia force."
Privately held since its founding in 1988, The Blue Ribbon
SoundWorks, Ltd. ("Blue Ribbon") develops innovative, popular
music and multimedia applications. The Atlanta-based company
also engages in the development of OEM music software products
and the production and design of multimedia presentations,
soundtracks, and musical Scores. The company currently publishes
more than thirty products worldwide, for the Commodore Amiga,
Silicon Graphics, and Microsoft Windows computer platforms.
