The world’s best-selling “hot keys” audio player for 15 years, 360 Systems’ Instant Replay2 adds Ethernet networking that lets users leverage today’s internet and email technology for on-the-fly updates to their stored sound clip library. Audio clips can be transferred to and from a PC with point-and-click ease. Last-minute additions can be quickly retrieved over the web, instantly uploaded, and good-to-go for any kind of live entertainment or production application. Fast, one-touch back-ups can also be performed, providing an extra measure of protection for critical content.

With Instant Replay2, producers can now record better-than-CD-quality audio directly onto hard disk. Built-in editing software enables head and tail trims, fade-ins and fade-outs, and gain changes. Fifty “hot keys” enable on-the-fly instant playback of sound effects from ten different banks of 50 clips, and another 500 clips can be stored on the hard disk. Users can build and store multiple playlists of audio clips in sequence, and store up to 24 hours of stereo digital audio on the internal hard drive.

Other advances to the Instant Replay2 include WAV file support, 16 and 24 bit recording formats, and both balanced and unbalanced audio inputs and outputs. Production teams now have more flexibility than ever to load clips from a wide range of audio sources, including PC audio editing programs, CD’s and digital music players.
