VSL provides a visual overview of your StudioLive settings so you can see, tweak, and organize them and can easily manage your presets and Scenes. You can even export presets and Scenes as XML files and email them to collaborators who have a StudioLive mixer. And controlling your StudioLive with VSL is as easy as drag-and-drop.

Of course, to truly appreciate what VSL can do, you need to try it with your StudioLive 16.4.2 mixer—and now you can! Effective immediately, VSL 1.0 for the StudioLive 16.4.2 is available as a free download. When the StudioLive 24.4.2 digital mixer ships, it will also include VSL.

Virtual StudioLive is integrated with PreSonus Universal Control software and replaces the Device Window for the StudioLive 16.4.2. It is, therefore, part of a larger software release. In addition to Virtual StudioLive, this new software release includes final 32- and 64-bit drivers for Windows 7, final 64-bit support for Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and an assortment of fixes and installer improvements for all FireStudio™ interfaces, including the original FireStudio (26x26), FireStudio Mobile, FireStudio Lightpipe, FireStudio Project, FireStudio Tube, and StudioLive 16.4.2. This release also marks the end of the public-beta program for the drivers, and we thank all who participated.

To download your copy of VSL and the new drivers, go to the Technical Support/Downloads/Software Updates-Drivers section of the PreSonus Web site, or click here.

Based on atmospheric field recordings, unusual sampled sounds and intricate synthesizer programming, PARANORMAL SPECTRUMS offers a wide assortment of evocative pads and sinister soundscapes, as well as intense mallets, flutes, bells and synth sounds that are both original and highly playable. It takes advantage of the integrated engines of KORE 2 and KORE PLAYER, combining the advanced sampling features of KONTAKT with the versatile synthesis functions of MASSIVE and ABSYNTH and the sound processing capabilities of GUITAR RIG to create deep, complex and charismatic sounds that can be efficiently modulated and brought to life.

PARANORMAL SPECTRUMS provides 100 KoreSounds with eight morphable Sound Variations each, resulting in 800 individual sounds. Concise parameter assignments allow for immediate, intuitive sound tweaking in KORE 2 and KORE PLAYER. Full musical metadata for all presets also makes PARANORMAL SPECTRUMS integrate seamlessly with any individual collection of KORE instruments.

PARANORMAL SPECTRUMS is available for download in the NI Online Shop for $79 / 69 EUR.
