 Sony PTHGEQG2 Oxford Plug-In Price: 1,125.00 Retail Price: 1,200.00 sony-pthgeqg2 Gigasonic The Oxford EQ + GML Option plug-in for Pro Tools HD systems is based on the Oxford OXF-R3 professional mixing console EQ section. It is a fully functional 5-band application with selectable shelf settings on low and high frequency sections. Additionally, separate variable slope low pass and high pass filters are provided. The use of novel coefficient generation and intelligent processing design provides unparalleled performance that surpasses analog EQ in both sound quality and artistic freedom. Originally designed as distance correction devices for film and vision, program equalizers have expanded into highly creative tools for the sound engineer. Many EQ designs have been developed over the years that have lent themselves to particular uses and sounds. The Oxford EQ is designed to be flexible enough to address as many of these generic types as possible from a single application by presenting a variety of types to the user. There are many different types of EQ, which differ in many areas. One of the most important areas is the issue of control ranges and interaction. Most analog EQs have a particular Gain/Q dependency as a result of the circuits used. This factor can greatly affect the artistic style that an EQ presents to the user. The Oxford EQ plug-in has covered this situation by providing four different styles of EQ that take account of Gain/Q dependency as well as overall control ranges. The GML 8200 emulation was designed in collaboration with George Massenburg for the OXF-R3 console. It has all the finer characteristics of the classic analog outboard unit, faithfully reproducing all the control ranges and responses of the original EQ, even to the point of producing center frequencies up to 26kHz while running at 44.1or 48kHz. This superlative EQ, much loved for its sonic detail and sensitive musical character, has deservedly become regarded as indispensable among many professionals in the industry. The plug-in, fully endorsed by GML, brings a vast wealth of experience and matchless lineage within the grasp of the Pro Tools user. The HD version includes RTAS and Audiosuite formats in addition to the TDM version. Features ? Adds GML8200 emulation to the EQ plug-in from the Sony OXF-R3 console Designed in collaboration with George Massenburg 5 Band parametric EQ with HF and LF selectable to shelf Separate HF and LF filters with variable slope 4 selectable EQ types (gain/Q dependency), plus GML 8200 emulation Fully de-cramped HF response Control coefficients calculated on the fly Extremely low noise and distortion Specifications ? The following specifications apply to the GML EQ selection: Please refer to the Sony Oxford EQ Plug-in (model # PTH-REQ) for specifications on selectable EQ types 1-4 LF peak/shelf section Gain: +/- 20dB, Frequency: 15Hz-800Hz, Q/Slope: 0.4-10 LMF section Gain: +/-20dB, Frequency: 15Hz-800Hz, Q/Slope: 0.4-10 MF section Gain: +/-20dB, Frequency: 120Hz-8kHz, Q/Slope: 0.4-10 HMF section Gain: +/-20dB, Frequency: 400Hz-26kHz, Q/Slope: 0.4-10, When the Pro Tools system is operated at 44.1kHz or 48kHz sampling rates the highest signal frequency is limited to around 20kHz. However when center frequencies above 20kHz are selected, the EQ maintains a response that is accurate for any portion of the curve that lies within the legal bandwidth limit of the system. HF peak/shelf Gain: +/-20dB, Frequency: 400Hz-26kHz; Q/Slope: 0.4dB-10, When the Pro Tools system is operated at 44.1kHz or 48kHz sampling rates the highest signal frequency is limited to around 20kHz. However when center frequencies above 20kHz are selected, the EQ maintains a response that is accurate for any portion of the curve that lies within the legal bandwidth limit of the system. Total dynamic range Greater than 138dB (RMS unweighted) for any single section, including filters.

 RME HDSP Multiface 2 & PCMCIA CardBus Bundle Price: 929.00 Retail Price: 1,179.00 RMEMULTIFACE2CB Gigasonic RME Multiface2 If you've been longing for the ability to do high-quality recording on a laptop or need low latency for software instruments and multiple outputs for surround sound in a desktop or portable rig, the wait is over. RME has taken their highl successful Multiface and made it even better with the RME Multiface 2. Talk about an audio interface that does it all! The RME Multiface offered the best possible performance in terms of low-latency operation and CPU load, thanks to the PCI card solution, which still surpasses "slightly slower" technologies like USB 2.0 or even FireWire. That was reason enough for RME to apply the latest technological developments to the Multiface II, an update of the original Multiface, thus making a proven product even better. First of all, the new RME Multiface II is 100% compatible with the current model's firmware and driver. It offers the same set of features and settings and the same low-latency, zero-CPU-load performance. Some significant changes to the circuitry were made along with the incorparation of several features from RME's award-winning Fireface including: Hi-power headphone output with volume knob and 119 dBA SNR - Analog input stages with improved CMRR, lower THD and increased S/N ratio by almost 10 dB - Analog output stages with significantly lower THD. RME's more effective synchronized internal switching power supply was also added. The reference level (+4dB, -10dB) of the analog inputs and outputs can be changed by two independent switches on the front panel. Like the original RME Multiface, the RME Multiface 2 has to be combined with RME's PCI-card for desktop computers or with RME's CardBus (PCMCIA) card for portable computers, which ensures maximum transfer rates of up to 130 MB/s. The RME Multiface II is compatible with the Windows and MAC platform. Other improvements of the RME Multiface 2 include the removal of the ADAT Sync interface (D-sub) on the back of the current Multiface (since it is hardly used any more). The added space allows the analog TRS jacks on the Multiface II to be moved further apart, so that eight Neutrik jacks now fit side by side. Additionally, a cable hook used to secure power and audio cables has been added. Despite the improved quality and increased number of components in the new RME Multiface 2, the price of the Multiface remains unchanged. Features ? 36-channel 24-bit/96kHz HDSP I/O. Intelligent clock control according to operational mode and present/desired sample rate. Bitclock PLL; the most reliable receiver circuit for ADAT optical signal. Input signal monitoring independent from clock mode and sample rate. Professional status and level display at lowest CPU load. Intelligent Clock Control measures and displays of all incoming and used clocks. Change latency on-the-fly under ASIO, without manual reset or re-boot. Surveillance and sample accurate synchronization of all channels. Comparison and display of all input's clock status. TotalMix mixes all inputs and all outputs on all outputs. Several independent submixes possible. Automatic monitoring of the input signal with zero latency. 8 analog line I/Os with 24 Bit/96kHz conversion. 1 ADAT digital I/O. 1 SPDIF digital I/O. 1 x Word clock I/O. MIDI I/O high-speed MIDI. Hi-Power headphone output for independent submix. Dynamic range analog AD: 115 dBA, DA: 120 dBA. RME Cardbus Interface For some time now, laptops have become powerful enough for even ambitious hard disk recording thanks to high computing power and powerful hard drives. Up to now, a powerful interface was missing though. USB is neither offering the necessary bandwidth, nor the desired compatibility. Available PCMCIA solutions at the moment are nearly always designed as 16 bit PC Card and therefore only make use of the ISA bus. For the Hammerfall DSP I/O-boxes Digiface, Multiface and RPM, RME have developed a world-exclusive PCMCIA type II card in Zero wait state CardBus Busmaster technology. With up to 130 MB/s transfer rate in both directions the same basic performance is provided on a notebook as a PCI card would offer on a desktop computer. Additionally the card offers highest compatibility by being 100% Plug & Play compatible under Windows and Mac OS, and being able to share interrupts. The card itself will only use one interrupt (IRQ) for all functions (audio/MIDI.) The connection between CardBus card and I/O box is established using ordinary firewire cable (closed LAN to IEEE 1394.) The data transfer does not use Firewire protocol, but our own proprietary bus protocol. The supplied cable is 4.5 m (15 ft.) long, a cable length up to 10 m (33 ft.) has been successfully tested. The CardBus card does not provide power to the attached I/O-box. Therefore a hi-tech switching power supply is included. Features ? PCMCIA type II, 32 bit CardBus card Zero wait state PCI Busmaster interface (130 MB/s transfer rate in both directions) Current load: ca. 300 mA Output: Closed LAN connector Package contents: PCMCIA type II card, cable 4.5 meter (Closed LAN to IEEE 1394), switching power supply 100 V-240 V/12 V - 1 A, car cable, battery cable 100% Plug & Play compatible Hammerfall hardware design: mono channels in block mode, organized in 32 bit ASIO double buffers ASIO drivers with 0 (zero!)% CPU load when using the maximum number of channels (52) Byte swap for Mac included in hardware Automatic hardware selftest when booting Hardware update via software (virtual EPROM update) Complete interrupt sharing Specifications ?

 RME OctaMic Microphone Preamp Price: 899.00 Retail Price: 1,099.00 RMEQctaMic Gigasonic Thanks to sophisticated discrete Class-A technology, the OctaMic offers you a pristine sound. Lowest distortion, excellent signal to noise ratio and perfectly linear frequency response transmit and amplify the microphone signals truly unchanged. Additionally, detachable rack mount holders and full battery compatibility make the OctaMic the perfect addition to your studio! OctaMic offers 8 balanced XLR mic / line inputs. Each channel contains switches for 48V phantom power, a low cut filter and phase reversal. Amplification can be set between 10 and 60 dB. LEDs for signal, clip, and activated phantom power give a complete overview on the unit's status. When the special Clip Hold mode is activated, any detected clip-state will cause the corresponding LED to flash once per second. With this, the user gets a long term peak detection, and no longer needs to constantly watch the LEDs. At the same time momentary overloads are still displayed correctly. Frontside switches include power on/off and output level, for a choice of -10 dBV, +4 dBu or Hi Gain (+19 dBu) as reference level. This unusual feature offers two advantages. First, the reference level can be easily switched to match any of RME's current interface devices, from HDSP 9632 through Multiface up to the renowned ADI-8 series converters. Second, the Signal to Noise ratio is optimized, and the Clip-LED will exactly match the ones of the ADI-8 (2 dB below 0 dBFS). The balanced line level output signal is available at the back of the unit via 8 stereo TRS jacks. The OctaMic also has a 25-pin D-sub connector, which allows for a direct and lockable connection to RME's 8-channel converters ADI-8 PRO and DS, with just one cable. Of course, this connector also provides the ability to use an industry-standard breakout cable for 8 balanced XLR outputs. The included professional switching power supply offers safe operation world wide, even when the power lines are weak or noisy. Furthermore, the OctaMic is RME's first unit to come in a completely re-designed housing. A new front panel construction and design not only gives a much better look, but also higher stability.

 RME HDSP Multiface2 & PCI Card Bundle Price: 849.00 Retail Price: 1,399.00 RMEMULTIFACE2PCI Gigasonic RME Multiface2 If you've been longing for the ability to do high-quality recording on a laptop or need low latency for software instruments and multiple outputs for surround sound in a desktop or portable rig, the wait is over. RME has taken their highl successful Multiface and made it even better with the RME Multiface 2. Talk about an audio interface that does it all! The RME Multiface offered the best possible performance in terms of low-latency operation and CPU load, thanks to the PCI card solution, which still surpasses "slightly slower" technologies like USB 2.0 or even FireWire. That was reason enough for RME to apply the latest technological developments to the Multiface II, an update of the original Multiface, thus making a proven product even better. First of all, the new RME Multiface II is 100% compatible with the current model's firmware and driver. It offers the same set of features and settings and the same low-latency, zero-CPU-load performance. Some significant changes to the circuitry were made along with the incorparation of several features from RME's award-winning Fireface including: Hi-power headphone output with volume knob and 119 dBA SNR - Analog input stages with improved CMRR, lower THD and increased S/N ratio by almost 10 dB - Analog output stages with significantly lower THD. RME's more effective synchronized internal switching power supply was also added. The reference level (+4dB, -10dB) of the analog inputs and outputs can be changed by two independent switches on the front panel. Like the original RME Multiface, the RME Multiface 2 has to be combined with RME's PCI-card for desktop computers or with RME's CardBus (PCMCIA) card for portable computers, which ensures maximum transfer rates of up to 130 MB/s. The RME Multiface II is compatible with the Windows and MAC platform. Other improvements of the RME Multiface 2 include the removal of the ADAT Sync interface (D-sub) on the back of the current Multiface (since it is hardly used any more). The added space allows the analog TRS jacks on the Multiface II to be moved further apart, so that eight Neutrik jacks now fit side by side.

 RME HDSP AES-32 AES PCI I/O System Price: 799.00 Retail Price: 999.00 RMEAES-32 Gigasonic The Hammerfall DSP AES-32 is a short-length PCI card with AES/EBU interfaces. It provides eight AES inputs (16 channels) and eight AES outputs (16 channels) at 192 kHz sample rate. The card is also equipped with two MIDI I/O ports, word clock I/O, and can be used with the optional TCO module for synchronization to LTC and video. The HDSP AES-32 is RME's reaction to requests from audio professionals for an AES-based solution with the typical RME features and quality. This audio card is a perfect all-in-one solution for professional users in the fields of broadcast, TV, theater, stage/PA - and in any professional studio. The card's main board contains word clock I/O and a 25-pin D-sub connector, providing four AES inputs and four AES outputs via standard digital breakout cable (Tascam pinout). The word clock input is galvanically isolated via transformer and operates on Single, Double and Quad Speed signals automatically. The expansion board adds audio channels 9-16 and a connector for a MIDI breakout cable with two MIDI I/Os (four 5-pin DIN connectors). It does not require a PCI slot. Features ? - Support for 192 kHz at full channel count- Native support for Double and Quad Wire transfer- Direct conversion between these formats- SteadyClock for highest jitter suppression and clock regeneration- Intuitive and clearly laid-out user interface- TotalMix: 512 channel mixer with 40 bit internal resolution- 48 level meter Peak/RMS, hardware-computed The card's main board contains word clock I/O and a 25-pin D-sub plug, providing four AES inputs (XLR-F) and four AES outputs (XLR-M) via standard digital breakout cable (Tascam pinout). The word clock input is galvanically isolated via transformer and operates on Single, Double and Quad Speed signals automatically. The expansion board adds audio channels 9-16 and a connector for a MIDI breakout cable with two MIDI I/Os (four 5-pin DIN connectors). It does not require a PCI slot. Thanks to the DSP-based TotalMix mixer, all 16 inputs and outputs can be routed to 16 physical outputs freely, offering extraordinary monitoring capabilities. Up to 8 fully independent stereo submixes can be created. Routings can be copied and pasted, faders ganged and grouped, which, along with the amazing matrix window, turns the AES-32 into a powerful and easy-to-use redistributor, patchbay, router, converter, and splitter. The hardware-based mixer is fully MIDI-controllable. Furthermore, the DSP hardware calculates RMS and peak level meters for all 48 audio channels, with no measurable CPU load. The Time Code Option of the HDSP 9632 and HDSP MADI can also be used with the AES-32 to sync to LTC and video. Thanks to SteadyClock, the TCO not only extracts absolute positions from these signals, but also a very clean low-jitter word clock. The card's most important settings are stored on the card itself. Rather than operating in a default mode from the moment the conputer is switched on until the driver is loaded, the card will immediately activate the last used sampling rate, master/slave configuration and AES format, thus eliminating any startup noise or problems in the clock network, both at system start and reboot. An optional 19 breakout box is also available. Its innovative design features XLR I/Os that can be accessed from the front or rear in a rack, according to the user's choice. BOB-32 provides D-sub connectors with Tascam and Yamaha pinout, therefore can be used with other devices as digital rack breakout box as well.

 Audix DP3 Microphone Drum Package Price: 749.00 Retail Price: 1,299.00 AUDIDP3 Gigasonic The Audix DP3 Professional Drum Microphone Package contains one D1 mic (snare, bongos, cowbell, hi-hat, guitar), two D2 mics (rack tom, floor tom, congas), one D4 mic (floor tom, kick drum, bass cabs, djembe, cajon, sax), two ADX-51 mics (overheads, hi-hat, cymbals, acoustic instruments), four D-Vice gooseneck clips (attaches to drum hoops) and an aluminum road case. Each microphone consists of a VLM (very low mass) capsule housed in a precision-machined lightweight aluminum body. The compact size, in conjunction with the newly designed D-vice gooseneck clip, allows for quick and easy set up and perfect mic placement. Don't compromise the sound of your drums. The D series mic packages will reproduce the sound of your drums exactly how you want your audience to hear them. The advantage of Audix's D Series application-specific systems is attractive. First, there's ease of use: rather than endlessly moving mics around and tweaking EQ to get the appropriate sound out of an all-purpose mic, application-specific mics require little or no EQ. Second, focusing the applications means that the mic can be optimized to perform better on its intended instrument than a general-purpose mic and can also lower the cost of the mic while maintaining performance. This is especially the case for kick and bass mics. Diaphragms can be made differently than conventional dynamic mics, thereby greatly extending low-frequency response and lifespan. Features ?

 Sony WRT-807B Wireless Microphone Price: 725.00 Retail Price: 865.00 sony-wrt-807b Gigasonic The Sony WRT-807B (66) is a high-quality hand-held dynamic microphone transmitter that operates in the 800 MHz UHF band range. It incorporates a PLL synthesized design with 94 user-selectable, UHF frequencies of interference-free operation. Complete multiple channel operation is possible. Additional features include, space diversity reception and back-lit LCD indicators Reliable and sophisticated circuit technology assure low noise, wide dynamic range, and extremely stable signal transmission and reception. The WRT-807B (66) also incorporates Sony's best dynamic element (the F-780/9X microphone head). Features ? 5 hours of continuous operation with a single AA battery. Smoothly tapered body with compact, lightweight, all metal design. 800 MHz UHF Band Operation, Unlike the heavily used VHF band, the area around 800 MHz in the UHF band is underused. With this lower activity, the systems are not affected by external noise and interference caused by other wireless systems and provide for low noise transmission and reception. A PLL (Phase Locked Loop) synthesized system controls the transmission and reception frequencies of the system. It assures stability and easy access to multiple channel frequencies. Equipped with a PLL synthesized control system, Sony's UHF Synthesized system provides up to 94 selectable frequencies. Each unit has a convenient memory back-up capability. When the Power switch is turned on, the previous channel setting is automatically recalled and displayed. Wireless channels are conveniently preset in each tuner for use in a multi-channel operation at one location. The UHF Synthesized System employs 6 channel plans with up to 19 channels for simultaneous multi-operation use. The use of preset channels instead of random selection of channels prevents interference such as beat noise in multi-channel operation and guarantees better unit isolation. To ensure accurate audio reproduction, the UHF Synthesized System is equipped with tone squelch circuitry control. Here's how it works: the transmitters broadcasts audio signals together with a 32 KHz tone signal. Only after receiving the tone signals will the receivers reproduce the audio signals for output. This function eliminates external noise and other unwanted signals. All of the transmitters and receivers have built-in LCD displays. They provide extensive information on group, battery status, AF level, etc. Employing a back light, these indicators can be seen even in low-light situations. The UHF Synthesized System employs a Compander (Compressor/Expander) system for optimum transmission over a wide dynamic range with low noise and interference. A space diversity reception system is equipped with two or more antennas used to eliminate noise and signal dropouts, thus ensuring stable reception. An additional benefit of this system is stable reception and cleaner audio at extended operating distances. Locking On/Off Switch Prevents accidental misuse".

Channel 1/2 can optionally be received and output optically (TOSLINK).The SteadyClockT technology ensures an excellent performance in all clock modes. Its highly efficient jitter suppression enables the ADI-4 DD to refresh and clean up any clock signal, and to provide the clock signal as reference clock at the word clock output. Additionally, RME'S Intelligent Clock Control (ICC) will maintain the last sample rate detected as valid in case of fault and loss of input signal. The device can be stacked without limit, all devices will be sample synchronous by using word clock. All settings are stored at power-off. RME ADI 4 DD CONNECTIVITY This device basically consists of two converters: four AES-3 inputs to double ADAT outputs, and double ADAT inputs to four AES-3 outputs. The double ADAT ports enable full 8 channel support, from 32 kHz up to 96 kHz (S/MUX). The unit provides one XLR I/O directly. A DB-25 connector allows for a use of industry standard AES-3 I/O breakout cables. Setting an internal connector easily changes the DB-25 connector to meet the pinout of Tascam, Yamaha and Euphonix cables. Features Application examples: AES/EBU frontend for RME's digital I/O cards (ADAT optical I/O) Serves as 8-channel AES and ADAT I/O for all digital mixing desks with ADAT or AES ports Allows to operate up to 4 SPDIF or AES devices Converts between AES-3, SPDIF and SPDIF optical Removes jitter from AES-3 and ADAT signals Conversion modes (selection): 8-channel AES to ADAT optical converter (96 kHz) 2-channel AES to 8-channel ADAT splitter (96 kHz) 8-channel ADAT to AES converter (96 kHz) 2-channel AES to 8-channel AES splitter (96 kHz) 4-channel AES Double Wire to AES Single Wire converter (96 kHz) 4-channel AES Single Wire to AES Double Wire converter (96 kHz) Specifications Input AES/EBU: 1 x XLR, 4 x via DB-25 connector, electrically isolated, highly sensitive input stage (< 0.3 Vpp), SPDIF compatible Output AES/EBU: 1 x XLR, 4 x via DB-25 connector, transformer balanced, 5 Vpp SPDIF Optical: Second ADAT port can be switched to serve as SPDIF I/O Input ADAT?optical: 2 x TOSLINK, 24 bit, Bitclock PLL Output ADAT?optical: 2 x TOSLINK, 24 bit Input word clock: BNC, Signal Adaptation Circuit (functional from 1.2 Vpp input signal) Output word clock: BNC, low-impedance driver stage, 4 Vpp into 75 Ohms, short-circuit-proof Sync sources: ADAT optical, AES/EBU, word clock Varipitch: by input signal or word clock Sample rates: 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 88.2 kHz, 96 kHz, variable (Sync/word clock) Sample rate range: AES, word clock: 27 kHz-105 kHz, ADAT 33 kHz - 57 kHz Jitter: Internal clock < 1 ns, word clock In < 2 ns, ADAT In < 2 ns Jitter sensitivity: all PLLs operate even at 100 ns Jitter without problems Jitter suppression: circa 30 dB (2.4 kHz) Power Supply: Operates with voltages ranging from 7-30V DC oder AC, allowing operation with practically any power source, including batteries High-quality switching power supply included, for worldwide operation at 100-240 Volt

 RME Multiface2 WC I/O & ADAT Sync Price: 699.00 Retail Price: 799.00 RMEMTF2 Gigasonic The world's most successful analog/digital interface has become even better! The RME Multiface offers the best possible performance in terms of low-latency operation and CPU load, due to its PCI interface, which still surpasses current technologies like FireWire. Reason enough to apply the latest technological developments to an update of the Multiface, thus making a proven product even better. The new Multiface II stays 100% compatible with the current model's firmware and driver. It offers the same set of features, settings, and the same low-latency, zero-CPU-load performance. Some significant changes were made to the electrical circuitry, where several features of the Fireface have been incorporated: Hi-power headphone output with volume knob and 119 dBA SNR Analog input stages with improved CMRR, lower THD and increased S/N ratio by almost 10 dB Analog output stages with significantly lower THD The now synchronized and more effective internal switching power supply has been taken from RME's OctaMic. The reference level of the analog inputs and outputs can now be changed with two separate switches on the front panel, and no longer requires changing an internal jumper setting. The ADAT Sync interface (D-sub) on the back of the unit has been removed, since it is hardly being used any more. The added space allowed to move the analog TRS jacks further apart, so that even eight Neutrik jacks now fit side by side. Additionally, the cable hook known from other RME products, used to secure power and audio cables, has been added. The new professional enclosure has the same design and depth as the one of the RME ADI-2. This allows for a more generous board layout, improving technical specifications and facilitating production. Despite an increased number of components and improved quality of others, the price of the Multiface remains unchanged. Features ? 36-channel 24-bit/96kHz HDSP I/O Intelligent clock control according to operational mode and present/desired sample rate Bitclock PLL; the most reliable receiver circuit for ADAT optical signal Input signal monitoring independent from clock mode and sample rate Professional status and level display at lowest CPU load Intelligent Clock Control measures and displays of all incoming and used clocks Change latency on-the-fly under ASIO, without manual reset or re-boot Surveillance and sample accurate synchronization of all channels Comparison and display of all input's clock status TotalMix mixes all inputs and all outputs on all outputs.

 Novation Remote 61 SL USB MIDI Controller Price: 599.00 Retail Price: 899.00 NOVREM61SL Gigasonic 2 GIANT LCD SCREENS FOR DISPLAYING CONTROL NAMES AND VALUES Running along the top of the ReMOTE SL front panel are two 144-character screens, which can display up to 16 parameter names and values simultaneously. This makes controlling in the dark a thing of the past and does away with Template overlays or having to remember the function of each control. It also makes navigating though menus simple as each page is laid out side by side and edited using the buttons or knobs directly below. FANTASTIC NEW AUTOMAP MODE This new intelligent mode is set to revolutionise the way you make music! When an Automap-supported application boots up (currently Reason 3, Cubase SL/SX 3 and Logic 7, with more on their way), the SL loads up the Automap Template and all the parameter assignment is done for you, showing you everything clearly on the gigantic screens. All you have to do to switch between controlling different instruments or areas of your session is click once with the mouse or press one button on the SL, depending on the application. 8 MUSICALLY-RESPONSIVE TRIGGER PADS Brand new to Novation controllers are these dynamic trigger pads for sketching out beats or bashing out samples. Each pad can be calibrated any way the user desires, with sensitivity and assigned data both fully programmable. For example, the pads can be set up as velocity-sensitive MIDI notes or buttons assigned to a CC number, where the value of that number is defined by the strength the pad is hit. DEDICATED TRANSPORT CONTROLS AND FAST TEMPLATE FUNCTION BUTTONS Total control over your sequencer's transport and locate functions are yours via the dedicated transport and four function button controls. Select a new template, scroll through templates, send snapshots, transmit a panic command, etc. this kind of instant flexibility will streamline your working practice. BUILT IN USB / MIDI INTERFACE Now shipped with both Windows and Mac OSX USB MIDI drivers, just plug into the USB port, install the driver software and the ReMOTE is fully operational. Alternatively if your computer system does not have USB then simply plug into the MIDI ports. The ReMOTE SL provides two MIDI Out ports, one MIDI thru port and one MIDI In port. Information originating from the ReMOTE keyboard or its controls can be sent directly to the USB port and/or any of the MIDI out ports. The MIDI ports can be used to integrate the rest of your MIDI gear into your computer system. X/Y TOUCHPAD FOR TOTAL EXPRESSION Indicative of Novation's forward thinking design is the touchpad. Being fully assignable and programmable in both X (side-to-side) and Y (up-and-down) directions, stunning and unique performance effects are just a finger-glide away. Imagine setting a distortion amount and a pan position on the left to right movement and an LFO speed and filter cut-off on the top to bottom movement - total expressive and creative control.

 RME HDSP RPM MIDI Interface Price: 549.95 Retail Price: 749.00 RMEHDSPRPM Gigasonic The RPM allows for the connection of 2 turntables or 2 line-sources (CD, DVD, sampler etc.) and a microphone to a desktop or laptop computer. A total of 5 independent inputs are routed to 2 stereo outputs plus a separate headphone output, which lets you monitor any of the in- and outputs at any time via TotalMix, RME's unique DSP based mixer. External devices can be connected via MIDI I/O to communicate with any adequate audio software. Features INPUTS A Neutrik XLR/phono combo jack on the front panel gives access to a microphone preamp with the same discrete Class-A frontend found in the RME QuadMic. Its level control ranges from 10 to 60 dB to match any application and microphone. 2 low-noise turntable inputs (Cinch/RCA) with integrated RIAA frequency correction for moving magnet cartridges are located on the back panel. A simple mouse click in the settings dialog lets you change the hardware input sensitivity in three steps within a range of 6 dB. Align the output of your turntables with other equipment connected and optimize the input signal fed to the internal A/D converters. To connect CD-players, tape decks, samplers or other line sources, the phono inputs can easily be switched to line" with another mouse click. A 6 dB pad function can be engaged to prevent overload, and to optimize gain and level balance between different sources. OUTPUTS Two individual stereo line signals can be output at the back panel's Cinch/RCA connectors. The signals present at the MAIN outputs are also available at an additional pair of balanced stereo TRS jacks, with their levels increased by 6 dB. Possible applications would be e.g. simultaneous connection of a tape deck and a professional power amp, a monitor amp and a DI box on stage, and many more. The stereo jack on the front panel can be used as an additional (third) independent stereo output, or as a headphone connector. The RPM comes with a built-in hardware mixer based on RME's TotalMix technology. Its capability to route and mix any of the inputs and outputs provides the RPM with 3 independent stereo submixes. TotalMix offers perfect monitoring and PFL functionality, removing the need for an additional external mixing desk in many cases. All inputs and outputs are internally processed by high quality AD/DA-converters operating at 110 dB signal/noise ratio. The extremely low jitter on the internal clock results in a superb 24 bit conversion from 32 up to 96 kHz. STAND ALONE OPERATION RME's exclusive Disconnect mode lets you adjust level, input selection and signal mix via your computer, and simply detach the RPM afterwards. If you do not need to record or playback audio with your computer the RPM still serves as a preset mixing preamp, a microphone preamp, headphone mixer or line-splitter with balanced signal output - whatever you need. BYPASS In case of power failure or with your computer disconnected, the phono inputs will be hard-patched to the line outputs. Even in an emergency the unit will still serve as a phono preamp and prevent a complete audio dropout. Application examples: Phono/CD/Mic interface. The computer only supplies the user interface and the level meters of the mixer (TotalMix). As above, with sound files playing at the same time. As above, recording the complete session to the computer. All audio is supplied by the computer. The RPM serves as mic preamp, line output and headphone amplifier. The turntables do not play audio but time code to remote control dedicated DJ-software (DigiScratch, FinalScratch etc.) Scratch control via MIDI input (external MIDI controller). The MIDI output controls an external sample player (Groovebox etc.) via MIDI time code. The analog output of the player can be mixed with any other signal using the line input of the RPM and TotalMix. PERFORMANCE RME's outstanding Low Latency and Zero CPU technology, both not possible via USB, have made the products of the Hammerfall DSP series world-famous. The RPM follows this road by offering the best possible performance via PCI technology with PCI card or CardBus card as basic interface. RME's low latency drivers for PC and Mac offer excellent performance with any professional DJ-tool such as BPMStudio or Traktor, at latencies down to 1.5 ms and full ASIO 2.0, GSIF and MME (Wave) support. EXTRAS The RPM's driver provides 12 playback channels. These can be routed and mixed freely to the existing 6 hardware outputs using TotalMix. Since this technology allows for the simultaneous use of several software clients (multi-client mode), you can run up to 8 audio programs playing audio on separate playback channels. RME's Hammerfall DSP series comes with DIGICheck - an unrivalled analyzing tool for your computer. It can run either stand-alone or in parallel to any application, displaying input and output signals in various ways and in real-time. DIGICheck comprises several professional level meters, a 30-band analyzer, a goniometer (vector scope), as well as various digital analysis tools. Any of these can be engaged at the same time and in multiple instances."

 Steinberg Cubase SX 3 Price: 499.99 Retail Price: 799.00 1STECSX32 Gigasonic Cubase SX3 --takes music production to a new level by adding more than 70 new features. Cubase SX3 has all you need: powerful Audio Warp realtime time stretching, an intuitive Play Order track, convenient in-place editing and many new editing functions. It's a unique native music production system combines full-featured audio and MIDI recording and editing, virtual instruments and powerful audio mixing with the added flexibility of loop- and pattern-based arranging and mixing. Cubase SX3 supports Windows XP, Mac OSX, and works with a multitude of audio interfaces. With seamless integration of external audio and MIDI hardware, Cubase SX3 redefines virtual studio technology. Features Realtime Audio Warp A new realtime time stretching algorithm has been implemented to offer realtime tempo and pitch editing. Musical audio can now automatically follow a song's tempo and tempo changes. Individual parts can be transposed or tuned. ACID files can be imported directly into a project and instantly take-on the song's tempo. Complex tempo matching and audio quantizing tasks can now be done on the fly -- in realtime with instant audio feedback. New Play Order track Adds a new track to define a song's formal structure and divide it into patterns. Patterns can be arranged in one or more play order. A new play order can then be flattened into a new linear timeline. The user is no longer tied into the linear structure of the timeline. Any existing arrangement can be divided into sections or patterns. This allows for vastly improved flexibility when experimenting with different song structures, arrangements or remixes. Instead of being tied into either linear or loop-based arranging, users can now work in both worlds at the same time. In-place editing A click on the 'Edit Inplace' button opens a small key editor inside the project window for editing MIDI in context with other track types. Instead of working in multiple windows, MIDI events can now be edited directly from within the project window. This allows for faster editing and for editing MIDI in context with audio or video. A huge time-saver! MIDI device maps/panels External MIDI devices can be created or imported from VST Mixer Maps. Editing external MIDI devices is now an integrated part of Cubase again. This allows for realtime control, automation and snapshot automation. Workspaces Takes snapshots of a complete window setup and stores the entire desktop into a workspace. Key commands can then be used to switch between workspaces Organizing window layouts for single or multiple screens is a lot more powerful and easier to use. A major workflow improvement for every Cubase user. Studio Connections total recall Works in conjunction with Yamaha's optional Studio Manager 2, which serves as a link between Cubase and external audio and MIDI hardware products that support the new Studio Connections standard. Studio Connections means perfect integration of hardware and software. Use the flexibility of plugins on external hardware devices. Loading a project can recall an entire studio's setup. Learn more about Studio Connections in the "Studio Connections Info" PDF file under "Resources." External effects A new tab in the VST Connections window is used to set up external hardware signal processors as plugins to be used in the VST mixer. Instead of having to use outboard mixers, Cubase SX users can now run their audio tracks and virtual instruments though external signal processors using the VST mixer. Hardware effects can be used like plugins. An external plugin within a FX channel can be used as an external effects send. Extended Freeze VST instrument freeze now has more options for freezing with or without insert effects. Audio channels now have a freeze button, too. In addition, overall performance of the freeze process has been improved. Freeze is now much more powerful, more efficient, saves more CPU, works faster, and offers more flexibility -- especially when working with many plugins and instruments. Dummy plugin Replaces missing plugins when moving a project to a different system. Until now, it was difficult to move projects from one system to another; especially when plugins or VST instruments were missing. In SX3, a dummy plugin replaces missing plugins. This way, the project can still be opened and edited without losing the Connections to the original plugin when that project is sent back to the original system later. Volume envelopes Part-based volume automation, similar to original Cubase VST dynamic events. Here's an additional way of controlling volume for a part. The pen tool can be used to draw volume curves on parts which will be locked to the part and move with the part. Great for fixing level problems right inside the part without the need of using track automation. Color coding for tracks Tracks in the project window can now be color-coded. The same color is applied to respective mixer channels. This provides more clarity and better orientation; especially when working on complex projects with many tracks and mixer channels. When no colors are applied, the track color is copied to all parts within the track. However, if parts have been colorized before, these colors are retained Audition channel A separate audio output bus has been added to the VST Connections. This bus is used exclusively for previewing, editing and scrubbing audio. With a separate audition bus, audio can be monitored through separate monitors or through the same monitors but unprocessed, without having to reorganize the audio setup. This is especially useful when working in a multi-channel surround system or when working with multiple sets of studio monitors. Audio pre-record of up to 10 minutes Records audio from the input of record-enabled tracks even before recording started. Never again will a great idea be lost when audio pre-record is active. Audio recorded prior to record start can be revealed by enlarging the part to the left. A great feature, both for recording and overdubbing. Child busses for group/FX channels Provides a sub-category of extra group/FX busses linked to main output busses. In multi-channel applications, signals should often be routed to specific channels (front stereo, center mono, or surround stereo) bypassing the surround panners. This can be achieved by setting up child busses in the VST Connections window. Alternative audio waveform visualization Displays audio waveforms in project window with background color modulation. The standard waveform display often lacks clarity when working at small track heights and low dynamics. Background color modulation displays waveform dynamics across the entire track height, thus providing better orientation in certain project views. Improved hitpoint detection Offers better performance and more options. The hitpoint detection algorithm is now faster and more reliable. Presets for different audio material are provided. Hitpoints can be converted to audio warp tabs. Audio can be quantized on the fly. Overall, hitpoints and the new audio warp features integrate well and provide much deeper access to manipulating audio.

 Line 6 Variax 300 Modeling Guitar - Red Price: 499.99 Retail Price: 699.99 LINEVARIAX300R Gigasonic The Line 6 Variax 300 takes the technology and sound from the award-winning Variax family and puts in a guitar any musician can afford. The exclusive Line 6 modeling technology that lives inside the solid-body Variax 300 guitar enables musicians to easily access over 25 historic guitar sounds, including classic single-coil and humbucker guitars, hollow and semi-hollow jazz guitars, acoustic 6- and 12-string, dobro, sitar, banjo, and many others. Instantly familiar controls work just like any traditional guitar. Custom TRS cable and XPS mini power supply box included. Line 6 Variax 300 Overview A couple of years before Variax?was born, Line 6 decided to turn their attention from all that guitar gear to the guitar itself. They wondered - could it be possible to capture a complete range of this tone in one single instrument? It was a daunting task, but then so was the idea of squeezing a whole collection of amps and effects into one little kidney bean shaped metal box. So Line 6 figured, why not give it a go? Line 6 knew their sounds would have to be amazingly accurate to meet the needs of discriminating guitarists, so they began an intensive research project into guitar physics. Line 6 assembled test guitars that would make Victor Frankenstein blush. They systematically examined every factor that contributes to a guitar's tone, and developed ways to measure the complex interactions of vibrating strings, resonant bodies, and magnetic pickups. More importantly, they developed ways to capture these interactions mathematically so they could get the same sounds from their guitar. As Line 6 refined their measuring and modeling techniques, they began working on a new, powerful hardware platform that could deliver their shockingly accurate sounds. Variax needed to have less noise than a standard humbucker, the ability to switch sounds in the fraction of a second that it takes to slap a pickup selector switch to the next position, and be powered in a variety of ways. And, most importantly, perform so flawlessly that you could forget it's even there. As the body and brain neared completion, it was time for Line 6 to create the soul. They auditioned an amazing array of vintage instruments to find the ones with the most distinctive voices and personalities. They applied their painstaking measuring techniques to these specimens, and refined their models while constantly referring back to the originals for accuracy. When the model reached the point not only sounding like the original, but also being as much fun to play, it was done. The result of these labors? Variax. An entire guitar collection in a single instrument. Features ?

 PreSonus Central Station Studio Monitor Price: 499.95 Retail Price: 699.95 PRSCSSM Gigasonic The Ultimate Studio Control Center The Central Station is the ultimate studio-monitoring interface for the modern digital studio. The Central Station features 3 sets of stereo analog inputs to switch between input sources such as: DAW, mixer, CD/DAT/Tape player, or keyboards/samplers. Two stereo analog inputs feature TRS balanced and the 3rd stereo input features RCA inputs with trim control for level matching of input signals. In addition, the Central Station will accommodate 2 digital inputs via S/PDIF or TOSLINK providing D/A conversion up to 24Bit/192kHz. This allows you to monitor DAW and CD/DAT outputs through the same professional quality converter for the most accurate A/B comparison and highest quality monitoring environment. The digital to analog converter offers the highest possible audio quality with over 117dB dynamic range and ultra high quality analog circuitry. The Central Station features 3 sets of monitor outputs, each with their own set of passive trim controls. The monitoring section also provides Mute, Dim and Mono switches. In addition, the Central Station includes a set of CUE outputs that can feed headphone amplifiers and a separate stereo Main line level output. Features ? Passive Audio Path - no op amps or IC's in main audio path 5 stereo inputs (2 digital and 3 analog) 24-Bit/192kHz DAC (>117dB dynamic range) via SPDIF and TOSLINK 3 sets of monitor outputs; each with passive volume control Talkback microphone with volume to feed headphone and cue output Accurate dual 30-segment LED for metering 2 front panel headphone jacks with separate volume control MAIN and CUE stereo output have independent input source Optional console remote control with input, output, talkback, and volume Purely Passive Signal Path The Central Station features a purely passive signal path for ultimate sonic performance. The main audio path of the Central Station uses no amplifier stages including op amps or active IC's (integrated circuits) that add noise, color, distortion, and give that "pinched" sound. Distortion produced by op amps and IC's also gives added ear fatigue. Signal routing in the Central Station is acheived utilzing 34 sealed mechanical relays (instead of active IC's) maintaining a minimal signal path design wherein extraneous electronics are hard-wire bypassed. Using relays ensures the most transparent signal path maximizing dynamic range, frequency range, and headroom, while minimizing noise and coloration. The Central Station uses the highest quality passive components including military grade 1% tolerance metal film resistors, multi-element potentiometers and ultra-durable connectors to deliver the highest sonic performance. Metering The Central Station features dual fast-acting 30-segment peak/hold LED's for accurate metering. The front panel of the Central Station includes both dBu and dBfs scale as well as peak/hold clear switch and meter alignment switch for addtional metering options. Talkback The Central Station has an onboard Talkback microphone which is routed through the Cue outputs for communication between artist and engineer. The Central Station also includes a Microphone XLR input on the rear panel for use with an external microphone. When Talkback is used the Cue mix is automatically "dimmed" for added ease of communication. Optional CSR-1 Central Station Remote Control The Central Station Remote Control (CSR-1) can be connected to the rear of the Central Station via DB9 connector to control Volume, Talkback, Mute, input source switching and speaker output switching functions. Keep the Central Station in your rack with your gear and use the CSR-1 for ultimate control and flexibility. Specifications ? Audio Input TRS 1 & 2 Type: 1/4 in.

This USB controller keyboard contains many of the popular features from the ReMOTE series, along with two major innovations. Novation ReMOTE SL 37 MIDI Controller Keyboard at a Glance: Two backlit displays show you controller parameter names and values simultaneously Revolutionary Automap template automatically loads application components X/Y touchpad, joystick, and a total of 56 assignable pots, encoders, sliders and buttons Incredibly easy to use yet incredibly affordable! Two backlit displays show you controller parameter names and values simultaneously The first gigantic improvement on the ReMOTE SL 37 brings MIDI control to a new level of convenience, as well as giving the SL its name. Two large brightly-backlit 144-character LCD screens reside at the top of the front panel, which can display 16 parameter names and values simultaneously. This means that using template overlays (which get lost) or having to rely on your memory of what controls what are a thing of the past! Music creation and performance becomes as simple and pleasurable as possible. Furthermore, menu navigation on the ReMOTE SL 37 is significantly quicker as each menu page is now displayed side-by-side along the large screens for immediate access and modification. Of course, a stylish Template Editor software package is also available free of charge. Revolutionary Automap template automatically loads application components 39 of the 40 onboard Template Memories on the ReMOTE SL 37 are factory preset (and also user programmable) so that the SL will work with all popular software applications, virtual instruments and external MIDI equipment straight out of the box. However, the remaining onboard Template is used for a new and special purpose, which is actually an infinitely expanding amount of Templates rolled into one. This cutting-edge feature, called Automap, might change the way music is made forever! When an Automap-supported application (currently Reason 3 and Cubase SX3, with more to follow very soon) is booted up, the ReMOTE SL 37 automatically loads this intelligent template and maps all active components within the session to itself. Then, all you need to do is click once with the mouse or press one button to switch between controlling different instruments or sections of the session. Throughout the process, all information is displayed clearly on the ReMOTE SL 37 screens to make everything crystal clear. X/Y touchpad, joystick, and a total of 56 assignable pots, encoders, sliders and buttons As well as boasting the X/Y touchpad, joystick, a total of 56 assignable pots, encoders, sliders, and buttons and the "best-feeling keys on the market", the ReMOTE SL 37 also offers highly responsive trigger pads. These allow you to create even more dynamic performance effects, playing drums or chord stabs through a software sampler, for example. Incredibly easy to use yet incredibly affordable! You'll be astonished at the usability and revolutionary nature of the ReMOTE SL 37, in addition to the surprising affordability. This controller is a must-have for anyone serious about making or performing music and wanting the MIDI control process to be as painless as possible!

For a pleasurable, performance-friendly Reason experience. New in Reason 3.0 The Combinator It's not an effect unit. It's not a synth. It sure isn't a sampler. It's... all of it. And more. The all new Combinator is a sophisticated device that allows you to build elaborate chains of Reason units - instruments, effects, pattern sequencers, you name it - and save as Combi patches. The MClass Mastering Suite Want big, tight, loud sounding tracks? Need extra stereo width, increased clarity, punchier bass? Say hello to MClass, the new mastering suite in Reason 3.0. MClass brings you four separate pro level mastering units designed to add power, presence and an overall professional feel to your Reason mixes. Play your Reason system Play your Reason system!

True hardware integration! 3.0 Browser With the Reason 3.0 browser, the task of finding and loading sounds and patches becomes just as smooth and intuitive as the process of making good music in Reason. 3.0 Soundbank Reason's sound palette is getting bigger, better, wider and wilder. The new sound bank in Reason 3.0 adds huge quantities of instruments, sounds and patches to Reason's already massive library. Focusing on carefully sampled musical instruments and useful Combinator setups rather than loops and beats, the new soundbank takes a more playable, more performance- friendly direction. Line Mixer 6:2 Line mixing, Combi mixing or regular submixing? Leave it to Line Mixer 6:2 Line Mixer 6:2 is a simple but effective 6-channel stereo line mixer. Built primarily for use in the Combinator, the Line Mixer 6:2 handles basic mixing and panning of Combi devices, but can of course be inserted anywhere in Reason: use it for submixing large drum kits, or to add extra mixer channels when Reason's main mixer is starting to fill up. Each of the six channels feature level and pan controls, mute and solo buttons plus an AUX send level control. Need more sends? Extra channels? Just create another Line Mixer. Sound Examples Although the saying "talking about music is like dancing about architecture" is old and worn, it still holds true. Your main question about Reason 3.0 is most probably "how does it sound?". These snippets will hopefully give you an idea about some of the things you can do in Reason 3.0. Combinator demo sounds The followning examples are all made with one Combinator each. Big Fat Basss (390 kb mp3 file) KristoN (960 kb mp3 file) Ransom's Battle (890 kb mp3 file) Strumming Bridges (1.1 mb mp3 file) Trance Riff (770 kb mp3 file) Handheld Symphony (570 kb mp3 file) MClass demo sounds MClass demo (1.1 mb mp3 file) Here's an example showing the Mclass mastering suite. We simply took the track Realization by Unknown Source, one of the Reason 2.5 demo tracks and inserted the MClass mastering suite combinator between the mixer outputs and Reason's audio out. Though this example was created by Propellerhead Software's marketing department and not a skilled mastering engineer, the results are pretty obvious. The example audio snippet is a portion of the song playing while flipping the bypass switch on and off. See if you can spot where the Mclass is in effect and when it's not. Specifications ?
