- There are developers working on audio and MIDI applications for the
- Indigo. Those products which have already been announced include Bars &
- Pipes Professional, a nice MIDI sequencer from Blue Ribbon Soundworks;
- SuperJAM! from the same company; and TidalWave, a multitrack audio
- editing and recording system from WaveFrame/DigitalFX. I saw a
- pre-alpha version of the latter in the DigitalFX booth at NAMM last
- week. There are other applications in the works, (but since they
- haven't been announced, I can't discuss them...)
-
- There are also a number of basic tools which come with the machine.
- These include cdman/datman, tools for playing/recording to/from CD and
- DAT; movieplayer/moviemaker, for making animated flicks (with audio)
- from graphic images; soundeditor, for doing simple audiofile editing;
- and soundfiler, for converting between different audiofile formats and
- sampling rates.
