London, May 5th, 2005 – Singing Coach TM, the unique new ‘learn-to-sing’
software from Carry-a-Tune Technologies, is now available internationally
through an exclusive distribution agreement with Interactive Ideas
Ltd., one of the U.K’s leading value-added software and peripherals
distributors. Under the terms of the agreement, Interactive Ideas
will be the sole distributor of Singing Coach and Singing Coach
UnlimitedTM to retail stores throughout the U.K. and Ireland. The
company will also make the products available to retailers in the
Netherlands and in Scandinavia.
Singing Coach and Singing Coach Unlimited, use specialised computer-aided
pitch tracking to teach people how to sing in tune and on tempo.
The products combine patent-pending technology with entertaining,
animated on-screen vocal coaching to teach people at all levels
to sing, whether or not they can read music. These first-of-their-kind
products take the fun of karaoke and add real-time visual feedback
of the singer’s pitch and rhythm to enable adults and children
alike to improve their singing.
Singing Coach and Singing Coach Unlimited are both powered by Carry-a-TuneTM
technology. The software tracks their pitch as people sing and displays
it as a pitch-tracking line on the screen, superimposed above either
a ‘sheet music’ or ‘graphic’ view of the
song. This system allows the singer to actually see what they are
singing in real time.
The Singing Coach learn-to-sing system has as its fundamental goal
making it easy for anyone – even the so-called hopelessly
‘tone deaf’ – to learn to control their pitch
and rhythm and thereby learn to sing in tune. Simple to install
and easy for singers ages 8 to 108 to use, Singing Coach works on
PCs running Windows 2000, ME and XP, Users get a high-fidelity headset
with built-in microphone plus a selection of practice songs and
free song downloads from the Carry-a-Tune Technologies online song
library of 200-plus selections ranging from hits to standards.
Singing Coach Unlimited also includes a ‘compose mode,’
in which users can enter any song from sheet music by simply pointing
and clicking, or compose their own original songs. Singing Coach
Unlimited also includes an ‘import MIDI’ feature that
allows users to import standard MIDI files with embedded lyrics.
More than 10,000 songs are available for purchase for use in Singing
Coach Unlimited. The ‘compose mode,’ coupled with the
‘import MIDI’ feature, truly makes the product ‘unlimited.’
The suggested retail price for Singing Coach is £39.99; Singing
Coach Unlimited’s suggested price is £59.99 and will
be available from www.amazon.co.uk from 27th May 2005.
