Sonic Foundry Announces Super Duper Music Looper

Sonic Foundry[R] Inc. (NASDAQ:SOFO), the leading developer and marketer of digital media and Internet software tools and services, today announced the release of Super Duper Music Looper[TM], a new music creation software program developed especially for kids.

Super Duper Music Looper is an amazing new program that lets kids create musical compositions on their PCs using professionally pre-recorded instruments. Using their mouse to 'paint and erase' sounds, it's the fastest and most entertaining way for kids to make music come alive on their computer. By selecting musical building blocks called `loops', (hundreds are included with the program), kids can construct their own songs by simply "painting" the sounds onto the screen. In addition, the tempo and pitch of the sounds are automatically matched in real-time. Not only does Super Duper Music Looper come with piano, guitars, horns, percussion, special effects, voices, drums, and orchestral instruments, it even lets kids record their own voices through the computer's microphone. Once the song is finished, Super Duper Music Looper allows kids to seamlessly send their songs to their friends via e-mail.

Super Duper Music Looper was recently rated a 5 out of 5 by the Dove Foundation, a non-profit organization established to encourage and promote the creation, production and distribution of wholesome family entertainment. In its review, the Dove Foundation states, "This game is fun and you will become engrossed in the creative outlet it gives you."

"We are truly excited about the release of Super Duper Music Looper and our entrance into the kids' software market," said Brad Reinke, Sr. Vice President and General Manager. "We feel this product provides an incredible entertainment and educational value and is the easiest way for kids to create music on their home computers. It opens the door for a new generation of interactive music entertainment software for kids."

Super Duper Music Looper can be purchased directly from Sonic Foundry for $29.97 (MSRP $49.95) by calling 1-800-577-6642 or visiting www.sonicfoundry.com or www.musiclooper.com.
