RME presents a new Remote Control for Fireface UFX and ADI-8 QS.

The optional remote has a solid metal case with one big wheel dial and two push buttons. The functions of the ADI-8 QS stay unchanged (volume, store, recall). On the Fireface UFX the remote controls the most important monitoring functions:

- Volume control of the main output and both headphone outputs (switchable)
- DIM (user adjustable value)
- Recall and store of a reference level for the main outputs (user adjustable value)
- Left button (Prog) is programmable and can control functions like Talkback, Speaker B, mono etc.

The Remote Control connects to the Fireface UFX and the ADI-8 QS via a 5 m (16 ft.) cable and a special connector on the back of both units. It replaces the old RME Remote Control for the ADI-8 QS. Availability is expected June 2011.

Moog Music designers carrying on the legacy of visionary founder, Robert Moog have announced the first major technical Theremin design advance in over 40 years. The PolyTheremin incorporates bleeding edge IsoDirectional Inductive Oscillator Technology, to isolate space around five individual pitch antennas thus enabling each to be played simultaneously (finger-by-finger) without interference from it's companion antennas. This revolutionary concept breaks the long held belief that the Theremin could only be monophonic instrument.

The PolyTheremin ships with Dorit Chrysler's instructional video "Playing the PolyTheremin is Even Easier Than Playing a Monophonic Theremin."

Features:

- POWER Rocker Switch – On and Off AC power control
- AUDIO OUT – Standard ¼" phone jack delivers line level output to any compatible amplifier
- PITCH - Rotary controls (5) independently adjusts pitch of each antenna.
- VOLUME – Rotary control independently adjusts volume of each antenna (Note: reference to volume level not quantity)
- WAVEFORM – Rotary control adjusts audio output waveform
- BRIGHTNESS – Rotary control adjusts audio output brightness (audio not luminescence)
- ANTENNA CONNECTORS – (5) Threaded for easy disassembly, washing & shipping
