Studio Six Digital Announces New Transfer Function Module

[ATTACH=CONFIG]195003.vB5-legacyid=2652[/ATTACH]Boulder, CO – December 6, 2011 – Studio Six is pleased to announce the upcoming release of a new Transfer Function Module within their hugely successful AudioTools suite of applications for the iOS platform.

The Transfer Function Module will include a magnitude plot, phase plot, and coherence curve. It will also include an accurate impulse response–based delay finder, capable of resolving delays down to a single sample. It will not, however, include delay tracking, multi-time window based analysis, or any Smaart v.7 code or routines supplied by Rational Acoustics, nor will it communicate with Smaart v.7 in any way.

Notes Studio Six Digital president Andrew Smith, “Rational Acoustics and Studio Six Digital have been working together over the past several years to bring a subset of the Smaart 7 functionality to the iOS platform. However, as we got deeper into the process of porting the Smaart 7 Transfer Function to iOS, it was taking much longer than we had originally thought, and we realized we needed to come up with a different plan. Bringing the subtleties and power of the Smaart 7 Transfer Function to the iOS platform is not trivial, so rather than wait to bring a Rational-branded multi-channel product out on iOS, we decided to release our own Transfer Function, which has been in development for more than a year. We are now ready to release a basic, but highly usable Transfer Function, although without the advanced algorithms present in Smaart 7.”

[ATTACH=CONFIG]195004.vB5-legacyid=2653[/ATTACH]Studio Six Digital’s Transfer Function will require a two- channel audio interface, such as iAudioInterface2. It will also work with the original iAudioInterface, or any other high-quality two-channel iOS audio interface. It will not work with the built-in microphone or headset mic input.
For those seeking the ability to utilize Smaart v.7 in a multi-channel capacity on their iOS platform device, Studio Six Digital and Rational Acoustics are in development of a Smaart iRemote application which will allow iPhone/iPod/iPad users to remotely access Smaart measurement data from a configured measurement on any computer running Smaart v.7 on the same network.

Says Rational Acoustics CEO Jamie Anderson “While not the complete stand-alone multi-channel “Smaart-on- an-iPad” solution that some of our users have been looking for, the iRemote will dramatically increase the functionality of Smaart for those who already own it. Instead of being tethered to a laptop setup at a single point in a venue, users can now roam freely while still having visibility and control of their measurement data.”

Both the Studio Six Digital Transfer Function and the Smaart iRemote are due to be released in mid-December 2011 and will be available on the App Store. The Transfer Function Module will retail for $79.99 and the Smaart iRemote for $99.99.
