Sonic Foundry Announces Software Bundling Agreement with Guillemot Corporation

Sonic Foundry (AMEX: SFO), a leading developer and marketer of digital audio software for the Windows[R] platform, announced today that it has signed a software bundling agreement with Guillemot Corporation, a pre-eminent, worldwide player in the multimedia market and expert in sound recording systems. Through this new pact, Guillemot will now include a copy of Sonic Foundry's ACID DJ software package with its Maxi Studio ISIS PC digital sound multi-channel studio.

"ACID DJ and Maxi Studio ISIS (Interactive Sound Integration System) are ideal complements to each other, as each of these products are designed to provide PC users with truly professional-quality audio functionality," said Roy Elkins, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Sonic Foundry. "We are very pleased to be working with such a respected developer of technology products that enhance leisure and inspire creativity."

"By bundling ACID DJ we are able to provide buyers of the Maxi Studio ISIS card with incremental value at no additional cost," said Bruno Ormel, Hardware General Manager for Guillemot Corporation. "We chose to work with Sonic Foundry because of their established reputation as a premier developer of Windows-compatible digital audio software."

ACID DJ allows any PC user to become an expert 'mix-master' and create professional-sounding dance music in just minutes. It uniquely provides PC users with access to a library of more than 600 prere-corded, royalty-free sound clips (dance loops), including hot guitar rhythms, fuzzy bass, pounding drums, screaming synth, and a bonus library of unusual noises. ACID DJ also includes a wide assortment of dance music styles, such as urban dance, house, techno, industrial, acid jazz, hip-hop, and even more. To create their own unique dance mixes, users select the loops they want, use an easy click-and-drag approach to order them, and then play them back. In order to ensure top quality sound, ACID DJ even synchro-nizes tempo and key so they sound absolutely perfect.

Guillemot Corporation's Maxi Studio ISIS is the world's first audio/MIDI home recording studio soundcard with all the convenience of an external rack at an incredible price. Featuring a revolutionary internal audio-processing engine, the Maxi Studio ISIS uniquely supports eight simultaneous inputs and four independent outputs in full-duplex, allowing users to record up to eight different musicians live. Compatible with all popular music applications, Maxi Studio ISIS ensures perfect audio fidelity with the external 20-bit converters and optical or RCA S/PDIF input and output.
