Opcode's Vision 3.0 Harnesses Features of Power Macintoshes Digital Audio
Now Available With Sound Manager

NAMM EXPO * JANUARY 18, 1996--Opcode Systems, Inc. today announced that
Vision 3.0, OMS 2.0 and Galaxy 2.0 for Macintosh are now available. This
industry standard suite of Opcode products offers unprecedented
integration.

VISION 3.0:

The leading MIDI sequencer for Macintosh has added digital audio through
Apple's Sound Manager. Use the built-in audio capabilities of a Power
Macintosh to record and play audio tracks. Display and edit audio
waveforms right alongside MIDI data.

Vision 3.0 now has 4 user-configurable mixing consoles complete with 96
fader channels and VU meters; seamlessly build an entire set of consoles
based on your tracks. Integration with the latest versions of Galaxy and
OMS allows for even greater access and organization of MIDI patches. Open
a Vision sequence and OMS will know whether the correct patches are in
your devices--if not, send them with a click of a button.

In light of Vision 3.0's new Sound Manager capabilities, Studio Vision AV
has been discontinued. Opcode is offering existing Studio Vision AV users
a special upgrade to either Vision 3.0 or Studio Vision Pro 3.0.

OPEN MUSIC SYSTEM 2.0:

Configuring studio setups is now more streamlined and automated, MIDI
instruments are auto-detected along with interfaces. New enhanced color
graphics more clearly illustrate your studio connections. The new
QuickTime(tm) Music OMS driver lets you audition songs in any OMS
compatible application without being connected to your MIDI instruments-
-General MIDI playback right from your Mac!

GALAXY 2.0:

Name Manager, a new component of OMS 2.0, makes the link between Galaxy and
Vision even more dynamic. Vision displays all patches from Galaxy so
bundles can be easily viewed by name or number and even group by bank or
keywords. Choose a patch from any bank and the appropriate bank-select
command will be automatically sent for you (allowing access to more than
128 patches per synth).
