Cycling '74 to Release Soundflower Audio Connection Tool for OS X

Cycling '74 announced Soundflower, a free system extension for Mac OS 10.2 and 10.3 that allows users to route audio between OS X Core Audio applications, at this year's Winter NAMM show.

Cycling '74 developed Soundflower as a way to allow applications developed with its Max/MSP audio environment to process audio originating from other programs. However, Soundflower can be used for more general audio routing tasks, patching either 2- or 16-channel data at 32-bit sample depth between any applications that support standard Core Audio driver selection. Soundflower can also be selected as a "default device" in the Audio/MIDI Setup utility for programs such as iTunes that do not allow the selection of a specific output device. Soundflower is being released as a free download on Cycling '74's web site cycling74.com, and will be made an open source project. The source will be available within the during the first quarter of 2004.
