The Gen16 Digital Vault is literally the next generation of innovative products from the world's leading cymbal maker, The Avedis Zildjian Co. The Digital Vault offers a top of the line virtual cymbal environment for your computer featuring extreme flexibility and power for any digital audio workstation or the perfect addition to any e-drum set up.
Gen16's AE Cymbals are real acoustic cymbals that sound and respond just like a traditional cymbal, but play at less than a quarter of the volume. A patented dual microphone system and sophisticated digital signal processing enables the AE Cymbal to create a range of natural cymbal sounds without the use of sampling or MIDI.

Finally. After more than two years of development the OP-1 is now ready for production.
Due to initial limited supply we now accept reservations.
Manufacturing, assembly and shipping will be eight weeks.

Nord Keyboards announces the Nord Stage 2 Series featuring our latest sound generation technology in the Piano, Organ and Synthesizer sections.

The Piano section includes String Resonance, Dynamic Pedal Noise, and a completely user-replaceable piano memory, twice the size of Nord Stage EX, compatible with the free of charge Nord v5 Piano library.
The Organ section features the tonewheel and transistor organ modeling of the C2 Organ together with a newly developed rotary speaker model.
The Synthesizer section includes an arpeggiator and the Nord sample playback functionality with a memory size storing 120 sounds from the Nord Sample Library including Mellotron and Chamberlin samples. In addition, Nord Stage 2 users can also create their own samples by mapping sound files in .wav format with the Nord sample editor. The genes of the Nord Wave brings analog-style and digital waveforms as well as FM synthesis.
Additional new features include MIDI over USB, monitor input, midi sync for the global master clock, and master clock sync for LFO, arpeggiator, and delay.

Midas has launched (again because it was launched first at Plasa 2010) the VeniceF, a brand new 'digi-log' ultra-compact mixing console designed by Alex Cooper, complete with FireWire© multi-channel digital audio interface, XL3 EQ and Propellerhead recording and processing trial software bundle.

The VeniceF is the first all-new Midas product to be unveiled following the Music Group's acquisition of Midas Klark Teknik. It features the full functionality and sound quality of the much-loved Midas XL3 EQ and filter section, Midas mic preamps, 100mm faders, increased channel and input count, a dual 7x2 matrix and a reorganised master section layout.
The VeniceF's 32x32 FireWire capability adds 32 channels of multitrack recording and playback (VeniceF 320) using any suitable FireWire-equipped computer, without the need for additional costly interfaces. This also offers the possibility of virtual soundchecking, and allows third-party plug-ins to be run as channel inserts and third-party effects routed via aux sends and returns. Inputs, groups, auxes, matrixes and masters can be routed to the FireWire interface.
