***Pulse Sonifier: First Interactive Audio Solution For the Web
Enables Anyone To Add Dynamic Sound to a Site
(February 4)

Pulse, a provider of rich media solutions, introduces Pulse
Sonifier, a new online solution for adding interactive audio to
any Web site. Available at monthly subscription fees as low as
$14.95, Sonifier requires no programming or audio expertise.
Featuring a drag-and-drop interface and an initial library of
more than 15,000 audio files, Sonifier enables users to produce
in minutes results that previously might have required days or
weeks of effort from audio and software professionals. Pulse
believes it will dramatically accelerate the adoption of
interactive audio across the Web.

Developed by a team of Clio- and Emmy-award winning audio
professionals, Pulse Sonifier is a patent-pending Web-based
application that streamlines the process of adding interactive
sounds to a Web site, from licensing or creating high-fidelity
music and sound clips to integrating them within Web pages.

Users simply choose as many audio clips as they like from
Sonifier's libraries of bandwidth-optimized vocal cues, musical
scores, audio logos and sound effects. While applying those
sounds in real-time to elements on the selected Web page, users
designate the sounds to be played when site visitors arrive, or
when they move their cursor over, or click on, a "sonified"
element. The result is an interactive, multi-layered soundtrack
that is woven into the site's HTML code and responds to visitors'
actions on the page. Pulse Sonifier audio files are delivered
transparently to site visitors' machines, with virtually no
increase in page-loading times.

Pulse Sonifier features:
- A drag-and-drop graphical user interface that requires no audio
or programming experience
- A world-class library of Web-optimized audio content
- A server-side "parsing" technology that prepares a copy of the
designated Web page for automatic sound integration
- Dynamic insertion of code, thereby linking specific "trigger
events" to selected audio files
- Instant previewing and one-click publishing of sonified Web
pages
- Session tracking of user preferences, which streamlines future
projects

Sonifier is priced at $14.95 for the first 5,000 sonified page
views per month, and $11.95 for each additional 5,000 page views
per month; an enterprise version of Sonifier is available for
portals and larger corporations.
