YAV RELEASES TRIPLE UPGRADE - SPIKE 1.6, CYBERMOZART 3.0, PUSHBTNBACH 2.0

The Netherlands -- January 21, 1998 -- YAV Interactive Media (
http://www.yav.com) today announced the release of upgrades to three of its programs: Spike 1.6, CyberMozart 3.0, and PushBtnBach 2.0. Spike ($65) is the foremost batch-processing QuickTime data-spike and analysis tool. CyberMozart and PushBtnBach ($30 each) are algorithmic composition programs that generate and play MIDI files in the style of Mozart and Bach.

Spike version 1.6 addresses Macintosh OS 8 and OS 8.1 compatibility issues and fixes problems displaying some QuickTime datarate graphs of movies with more than 3000 frames. Spike now processes both Macintosh and cross-platform (datafork-only) movies created by all versions of QuickTime, including Quicktime 3.0.

CyberMozart version 3.0 is a major upgrade of YAV's popular implementation of Mozart's "Musical Dice Game." The new version can now save, recall, and print notation files along with both type 1 and type 0 standard MIDI files. The revamped user interface adds drag-and-drop and OS 8 support. A new installer makes it easier to get started.

PushBtnBach version 2.0 is also a major upgrade of this popular algorithmic music software. A new "continuous" option composes and plays back new "Bach" works without intervention for as long as you like. The revamped user interface adds drag-and-drop and OS 8 support, and a new installer makes it easier to get going. All the algorithms have been brought up to date with the current version of the YAV Music Engine™ being showcased at Amsterdam's newMetropolis Center for Science and Technology and scheduled for release on YAV's "The Music is the Message" CD-ROM in February.
