4FRONT TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES 4FRONT BASS MODULE 1.0 VSTi FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE --------------------- Culver City, CA July 22, 2003 4Front Technologies, a leading developer of digital and analog audio solutions for the Linux and UNIX Operating System platforms, announced today the release of **4Front Bass Module 1.0 VSTi for Windows (x86)**. 4Front Bass Module is load&play VSTi software bass synthesizer, that receives MIDI note data and generates a high quality bass sound. This is the second synthesizer module, released by 4Front Technologies. Earlier, exactly one month before, 4Front Technologies released Piano Module, based on the same synthesizing technology. The piano was admitted by the public as the best free piano synthesizer available. With the proprietary 4Front hybrid synthesis technology, 4Front modules take generally smaller space than the sampled versions of the same quality, and the CPU usage is optimal. Modules work perfectly in real-time environments, and are ideal for both studio and live performances. "This is only the beginning. We are having a plenty of technologies developed, now it's a right time to wrap them into plugins and start marketing." said George Yohng, DSP lead at 4Front Technologies. Commercial versions of 4Front instrument modules will be available later this year.
