Sound Quest Inc. Edirol SD-90 Editor/Librarian and Virtualizer

Edirol SD-90 Editor/Librarian and Virtualizer
for Windows and Macintosh OS X

Congratulations on owning the Edirol SD-90. You know something that many musicians have forgotten, that whatever the reason, hardware synths and effects simply sound better.

Software synths and effects do have advantages. They work right inside your sequencer; sounds are stored on the computer with easy access and on screen editing; and if you want, you can even automate sound edits while your sequence plays. All you have to do is twist the knobs of your soft-synth to record the changes.

With Sound Quest's Editor/Librarian and Virtualizer software, you can give your Edirol SD-90 these advantages as well. You are even able to integrate the SD-90 into your digital audio sequencer and use it the same way you use soft-synths. Now you can display, edit, tweak, organize, audition, archive and manage your SD-90 from the center of your studio: the computer screen.
