Symbolic Sound Launches New Website to Coincide with Kyma X Release

New site features hierarchical navigation, search engine, and an expanded online community

CHAMPAIGN, IL—January 15, 2004—Symbolic Sound today announced a major website renovation to coincide with the widespread release of Kyma X. Located at http://www.symbolicsound.com, the new site features a minimalist design, hierarchical navigation links, enhancements to the online support area, and a search engine.

“We went online with our first website in 1995 and, over the next 9 years. it had expanded and grown into a massively interconnected web,” said Symbolic Sound president Carla Scaletti. "When beta tester Ben Phenix saw the hierarchical signal flow diagrams in Kyma X, they reminded him of the structure of a website. He emailed me a mockup of his concept of using a signal flow graph as a navigation element, and I liked it enough to go ahead with totally revampling our site."

A few highlights from the list of new features and enhancements include:

Navigation icons across the top of each page provide access to major sections of the site.
Links to the major topics within each section are provided on the left edge of each page.
Visitors can use the Search box to locate specific words or phrases of interest.
Potential customers can obtain their own online quotes on various system configurations
Customers have the option of placing system orders online using Symbolic Sound's secure server
All the information from the old site is still available but now it's a lot easier to find
Visitors to the site can also enjoy some of the contributions of the Kyma online community
And more!
