Tango steps on to the show floor at Musikmesse 2010 with product enhancements in its new version

Smart AV's Tango team is eager to announce exciting developments and product enhancements in their latest software release, version 2.4, which can be seen for the first time, at Musikmesse 2010. The changes include major additions and a myriad of small feature improvements. Smart AV expects the latest version to increase the already widespread appeal of Tango and the efficiency of the user's workflow experience.
 
Firstly, Tango now works with Desono's DSD/PCM mix engine and Stagebox. Desono products are high quality solutions for audio acquisition and production in the live, recording and broadcast markets, and when combined with a Tango or a Pro Series Smart Console it provides a unique and powerful combination. 
 
Following enquiries from users wanting to use a Stagebox in conjunction with their DAW and Tango, development was initiated and has resulted in a particularly powerful solution.
 
The unit can convert microphone signals into PCM or DSD digital data and send up to 64 channels over a single optical fibre; full duplex coaxial and optical MADI are fitted as standard, and the unit can transmit and receive data in PCM or DSD formats. The stand at Musikmesse will showcase Tango working in conjunction with Stagebox.
 
Live recording DAW users will appreciate the new Scene Management Software. The Tango Smart Console now features its own comprehensive Scene Management system with an Act, Scene and Cue storage hierarchy of one million storage locations. Other features include adjustable transition time, comprehensive "ISOLATE" and "ENABLE" functions for channel strip sections and intuitive MonARC based cue management. Many live recording DAW users will find this feature very useful and it becomes particularly relevant when used in conjunction with the Desono Stagebox.
 
Net Smart technology makes it very easy for users to get Tango to communicate with the supported DAWs without needing to manually reconfigure IP addresses.  For example, if Tango has been set up on a network, the DAWs on the network are detected and the user is presented with a list from which the desired DAW can be selected.
 
In addition, Smart AV has implemented an interface for the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol, which further enhances Tango's flexibility. 
 
Finally, the Smart AV team is happy to announced Stage One of the implementation of control for Sony Vegas Pro. Vegas Pro is a well-known and widely used video editing tool; Vegas Pro 9 includes a powerful set of audio tools for mixing audio in a multi-track environment on an unlimited number of tracks. The system allows on-the-fly punch-in recording and real time record meters. In addition, there are 32 assignable effects and 26 master and aux outputs. Users can perform automatic cross-fading and enjoy hands-on mixing using Tango as the control surface. Many of the video edit features can be set up with macros in the Tango virtual editor making the Tango a particularly versatile tool for the professional user.
 
These enhancements and new features can be seen at Musikmesse, Hall 5.1, booth C86. A Tango unit with extension bay and Stagebox will be showcased on the stand.
