Any experienced narrowcaster will tell you that theres always plenty to do to keep a small station running! Robot doesn't have a whole lot of features a narrowcaster WON'T need, its a nice simple easily manageable system that lets you maintain your automation with the minimum of effort so you can get on with other things. There are lots of flash, so-called "radio" packages on the market, that do all sorts of amazing colorful things, but when it comes down to it reliability and sounding like a radio service (rather than an mp3 jukebox!) is all that matters to the serious low power broadcaster.

HISTORY

Robot software began with Robot 1.0 which was developed over 2 years working at ZFM 94.5, a narrowcast station in Newcastle NSW. We studied the precise needs of the narrowcast broadcaster and designed a small but efficient program to make you sound like the largest most impressive commercial stations. This system was run tested continuously in our development centre for almost 3 years without a single crash or lapse to program to air. It was later enhanced with new features for SkyFM, a narrowcast network in Tiaro Queensland and became Robot 3-1.

Later we released Robot 2002 a complete rebuild from scratch of the popular Robot 3-1 Narrowcast radio package. Combining the world class stability of 3-1, and integrating fully with windows to provide a polished professional sound.

Following on from this sucess we released the state of the art Robot 2002 PRO.

The latest release is Robot 2002 PRO Build 6, world class, broadcast quality, automation that combines over 12 years of research and testing in one great package.

Check out some of Robot 2002 PRO's features:-

  • Automation doesn't need to sound like automation, and Robot 2002 PRO lets you have a different jock for every single hour of every single day, complete with custom trailers, voice breaks and a special "hello" introduction to each hour.

  • You have full control over the playlist and adverts for each hour.

  • You can edit the format of each hour to exactly what you want. If you want more music late at night and less in the morning, you can do it! Each hour is fully format configurable.

  • All actions are fully fade controlled which means no more clunky stops and starts or annoying clicks. You can decide when and where you apply fades and how the fade operates.

  • Robot 2002 PRO is fully time dependent, this means precise hourly changes and a structured format within each hour.

  • Robot 2002 PRO can handle both MP3's and WAV's, called whatever you like. The only special tools you need to manage your audio are the ones you already have..Robot 2002 PRO needs no specially formated files like other packages...and just in case your only starting out - In the freeware directory of your CD we include a selection of some of the best audio management programs in the world.

  • You don't need to "include" or setup new files like other systems, simply drop them into the relevant directory and re-start Robot. That means you don't have to sit for 2 hours and define the 200 songs you just ripped from CD...

  • You don't need to setup complex formulas to create each hour. Robot 2002 PRO will randomly select the files to play within simple parameters. You don't need to hold its hand or work on it everyday, Robot 2002 PRO is completely self-sufficient.

    * And if your looking for the professional edge:-

  • Robot can also be setup to select music within a fully codified environment. You would pay thousands of dollars a year in licensing fees just to lease this type of technology, but Robot includes it in one compact package.
  • The lastest release also has a state of the art advertising system which allows you to control the sales, production, scheduling of advertising spots and then print out Accounts to collect your revenue.
  • Robot includes full satellite automation scheduling which will work with a wide range of common satellite receiver units.
  • Robot can also be used at a remote location and controlled over the internet or a normal phone line.
  • Robot can be used with RDS/RDBS systems, dynamically generating a choice of data such as track name, artist, presenter into an RDS output file.
  • Optional purchaseable professional Scheduling and traffic module enabling networked operation between production and sales.

  • You don't need a degree in computers to use Robot, you can operate it in a range of modes that are as simple or as complex as you choose.

      A lot of companies make a big deal about their product support. This they will tell you is a good reason to go with a product that often times is highly inferior, because there is "always someone on the end of the phone". When you purchase software from us your support request will not be handled by a secretary paid to sit on the end of a phone, which lets face it, often is only wasting your time while they "get someone to call you back" or a so-called support operator who is only one step ahead of you with the manual. Every software support request is handled directly by the programming co-ordinator personally which means your talking to one of the team that wrote the actual program your using who knows it inside out. All software products receive rapid support normally within 24 hours via email. This is often times more efficient than talking to someone on the telephone as you have a written explanation in front of you and whatever graphics, software patches etc. you might need. In urgent circumstances you can also call our 24 hour customer support numbers which will connect you directly to the Programming Co-ordinator's mobile phone.
