Akai Ewi4000s Electronic Wind Instrument Controller

Gear 4 Music Product Information
The EWI4000S has many of the long sought after controls and functions that are necessary for expressive performance. These benefits have been proven by its predecessors but the EWI offers these features at a much lower price. There are several improvements to the design as well such as having a built-in sound module direct MIDI IN and Out and other updated operating functions. These functions make playing the EWI4000 easier than any other electronic wind instrument.With the sound module and the instrument all in one product players no longer need to be tethered to a module. By using MIDI and audio wireless transceivers EWI4000S players can move freely on the stage as they are playing. The user can easily switch between programs on the EWI4000S directly with a dedicated Program selection button or use the note keys to select stored patches.The internal sounds of the EWI4000S are based on a virtual analog synth sound module that is very responsive to the player?s nuance. With easily accessible controls for breath vibrato glide time and bend width users can adjust the settings of the EWI4000 to their specific playing style. Also you can send multiple MIDI messages via breath control to send expression and aftertouch control messages.The EWI4000S also offers some new performance control features as well such as the Octave Key. When you activate the Octave mode you will get an automatic doubling of notes at one octave below the note you are playing. There is also a Hold Mode which holds a note that you select enabling you to solo around that note. This is the first EWI with a sostenuto capability!Besides being a great wind controller you also get a first rate synthesizer. The EWI4000S has new synthesis features which were not available on previous EWI?s. The internal analog modeling synth has two voltage controlled oscillators (sawtooth triangle square with pulse width waveforms) with individual volume control. The voltage controlled filter has a feature which allows you to change from 2 to 4 pole filters. The EWI4000Ss new noise generator and a dedicated VCF add more realism to your playing emulating breath noise.The EWI4000S has a new sweep function which works more effectively than a typical envelope generator. As you change the force of your playing the sweep parameter will alter the shape of the sound. The synth contained inside has a LFO (low frequency oscillator) specifically for the voltage controller filter modulation. This LFO affects vibrato as you use the bite sensor. The EWI4000 also has built-in effects a first for Akai EWI products such as Reverb Chorus and Delay to thicken or double-up your solos.Since it would difficult to put all the knobs and buttons on the EWI-4000 that are needed to adjust the various parameters the EWI4000S will come with a computer editor program to allow users to customize all their sounds ahead of time for live performance. This editor will come standard for Windows and Mac computers. All of your edited Programs can be stored inside the EWI4000S so you can recall your settings instantly during your performance.Key Features1) Touch sensitive keys and Octave roller for quick and responsive playing2) Sensitive breath sensor for expressive dynamics3) Built-in Analog Modeling Synth sound module4) Built-in MIDI output for use with sound modules?

Gear 4 Music Product Information
Click on the links below to download MP3 demos of the Korg micro KORG XL##mp3 14892####mp3 14893##NEO-VINTAGE SYNTH POWERThe micro KORG XL carries a proud pedigree. The MMT (Multi Modeling Technology) sound engine is descended from the RADIAS/R3 synthesizers while the dual effects processors come down from the famous KAOSS line. The micro KORG XL offers remarkable playability. The black key/white key proportions have been adjusted for easier chording; the key response has been improved for rapid-fire soloing. And the old -school square front keys? Well they look wicked cool. Together with a sound-bending vocoder and six-pattern arpeggiation micro KORG XL packs a powerful sonic punch.The eight-voice MMT synth engine offers traditional analog waveforms plus a total of seven algorithms including formant waveforms noise and PCM/DWGS waves for those vintage keyboards and strings. Cross-modulation unison stacking and VPM (Variable Phase Modulation) let you create sounds that would be impossible for a conventional PCM synthesizer. Sync and ring modulation make it easy to create complex and powerful sounds. Two multi-mode filters a drive/waveshaping circuit for distinctively distorted sounds and EG and LFO for creating time-varying tonal change provide plenty of parameters for serious synthesis. Virtual Patching brings it all together.Seventeen up-to-the-minute effects deliver everything from a traditional chorus to grain shifting. In The delay effects can be synchronized to MIDI clock for beat-sensitive situations. You can even process external sounds! The micro KORG XLs amazing vocoder adds vocal characteristics to any sound creating everything from talk-box filtering pseudo choirs talking instruments to vintage Sci-Fi robots. Our unique Formant Hold allows you to freeze the vocal input for continuous vocoder effects. Use the Formant Shift function to adjust the level and pan of each of the sixteen bands greatly altering the tonal character. The distinctive retro-styling allows for quick selection of any of the 128 on-board editable programs. For the diehard synthesists and sound designers you can use the three performance edit knobs for fast effective editing in performance. Youre also free to select and assign your favorite parameters.

Korg Monotribe Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer Station

£169.00

Korg Monotribe Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer Station

Gear 4 Music Product Information
Korgs monotribe shares the monotrons analog DNA yet quickly delves deeper into the rich organic and often chaotic world of analog synthesis. In addition to analog synthesis monotribe brings together intuitive ease of use and a three-part discrete analog rhythm section plus the proven appeal of Electribe-style sequencing. Complete with built-in speakers and battery power monotribe is self-contained and highly portable able to deliver your ideas with style and personality.True Analog Synthesis The monotribes sound engine uses technology old and new merging the powerful sound of analog synthesis with the dexterity and playability required in todays groove making environments. Analog technology is essential for fast and responsive control and delivers the full sonic spectrum from warm and easy-going to full-throttle rampage.Three-Part Analog Drums The monotribe provides a three-part rhythm section powered by discrete analog circuitry; bass drum snare and hi-hat. These three sounds were the key elements in a generation of analog beat making and are still in demand today. Use these powerful drum sounds to generate distinctive beats attainable only from the monotribe.Electribe-Style Groove Creation For over a decade Korg Electribes have served as the standard tools for dance music and DJ work and has earned outstanding popularity even appearing recently as a top-selling i Pad app. The fantastic step key interface lives on in monotribe with a dedicated button for each of the eight steps. This allows realtime hands-on step editing of not only the drum parts but also for any synth part sequence played on the ribbon keyboard.Active Step and Flux Mode Active Step editing lets you remove or re-insert individual steps creating short loop-like effects or off-beat patterns that weave in and out of complex rhythms. The step buttons provide this Active Step control during playback and also provide an instant return to the original 8-step sequence if needed. Flux Mode allows the creation of sequenced synth parts that are not rigidly tied to the step grid providing more musical versatility. The creation and morphing of edgy beats and stuttering rhythms has never been easier.Auto-Tuning Analog Analog synthesizers of yesteryear were prone to drift in pitch. But no more! The monotribe?s auto-tuning circuitry provides stable chromatic playability and will not go out of tune. This auto-tuning technology also means no warm-up time no servicing for pitch calibration no sensitivity to temperature changes - just the great sound of analog VCO.Multi-Mode Ribbon Keyboard The ribbon controller keyboard provides three selectable playing modes/ranges. The chromatic mode (KEY) is ideal for playing melodies and bass lines and stepping smoothly from note to note. Switch to the continuous mode (NARROW) for glides and bends - just as on the monotron. Also available is the wide continuous mode (WIDE) with a six-fold pitch range for dramatic synth zaps and screams. In addition pressing the Gate Time button will allow the gate time to be sequenced as the ribbon controller keyboard is played.Classic Analog Components - VCO LFO VCAThe VCO offers a choice between sawtooth triangle and square wave. White noise can mixed in to the oscillator signal in any amount. The Octave selector covers a broad range from deep bass to piercing lead-lines. Three EG (Envelope Generator) presets provide the VCA with impressive versatility and dexterity. The LFO can be patched to the VCO and/or the VCF creating impressive dynamic effects. The Range switch allows the LFO to deliver stirring cyclic changes over tens of seconds (SLOW) or superfast (FAST) audio-range FM ringing. Switching the LFO Mode to the 1-shot setting allows the LFO behave as a second envelope generator - a truly powerful addition!Vintage MS-10/MS-20 Filter The monotribe features the same VCF circuit found on Korgs classic MS-10 and MS-20 analog semi-patchable synthesizers. Distinctively analog this sharp and powerful filter adds dramatic change to the sound imparting the uniquely memorable character of Korgs early analog synthesizers. Using the audio input any audio source can be enhanced by passing through the filter section. Process an instrument a voice or a complete mix form CD or MP3 and create larger than life filter effects!Sync Jacks: A Return To Modular The monotribe provides both Sync In and Sync Out jacks empowering multiple monotribe units to play and work together for a synchronized performance. Not just other monotribes either. Audio line level pulses can trigger the Sync Input so the monotribe can be synchronized to a DAW system for example. In addition the polarity of the pulse waveform can be changed for both the input and output so you can enjoy synchronized performance with a variety of equipment equipped with Sync connections.On-The-Go Groove Making Light compact and portable monotribe is great on the go. Equipped with a built-in speaker and powered by six AA batteries it is... Analog Synth + Analog Rhythm + Step Sequencer = Analog Electribe - In a world seemingly ruled by digital Korg created an analog sensation with the palm-sized monotron Analogue Ribbon Synthesizer. Today Korg once again takes up the analog banner with the amazing monotribe Analog Ribbon Station; a new form of synthesizer that packs an amazing array of features and technology into its compact body.

£2,575.00

Nord Stage 2 Series Compact Sw73

Gear 4 Music Product Information
The Nord Stage 2 is compatible with the Nord Sample Library and also the Nord Sample Editor software that lets you create your own sample instruments for infinite possibilities! Combined with Nord Piano Library compatibility the Nord Stage 2 is an instrument that offers huge expandability.Three Models The Stage 2 comes in three models: The Stage 2 HA88 and Stage 2 HA76 feature our new top-of-the-line fully weighted Hammer Action keyboard. The Stage 2 SW73 features a 73-note Semi Weighted Waterfall keyboard. Apart from the keyboard type and the number of accessories available all three models have identical features.The Sound Inside The Stage 2 has three sound generating sections; Piano Organ and Synthesizer all of which can be used simultaneously. Furthermore up to two sounds from each section can be combined in a single program for massive sonic flexibility.Piano Section The Stage 2 Piano section has evolved from the multi award winning Nord Piano; featuring our state-of-the-art sampling techniques the Stage 2s pianos capture the extraordinary nuances and real character of the individual source instruments. Combined with the intelligent String Resonance that reproduces the sound of the piano strings resonating at their fundamental or harmonic frequencies when other strings are played and compatibility with the optional Nord Triple Pedal that adds Dynamic Pedal Noise - the result is breathtaking realism and an unsurpassed expressiveness.An all-new feature in the Nord Stage 2 is the Selectable Piano Release function. With Piano Release activated you get a slightly longer release more suitable for legato playing. This important feature reflects adjusting the damper tension in an acoustic or an electromechanical instrument.In addition to vivid acoustic Grand and Upright pianos the Piano section also features some of the finest most desirable vintage electric pianos. The Stage 2s piano sounds are future-proof thanks to its compatibility with the Nord Piano Library. This free online library is continuously updated with both upgraded existing pianos and all-new pianos to keep your instrument constantly renewed.Organ Section Over ten years have passed since we made our first digital model of a tone wheel organ. The Stage 2s dedicated organ section now uses our third generation B3 Organ model the same as found in our acclaimed Nord C2 Organ.Considered by many to be the most accurate emulation of the B3 ever the Stage 2s organ model is based on the analysis of the signals from each of the 91 spinning discs inside several original instruments and painstaking work on understanding exactly how all the components interact with each other. The virtual circuitry reacts not only to the settings on the panel but also during the real time performance. The Stage 2 will faithfully reproduce the important foldback and energy robbing characteristics; the latter will produce the gentle compression effect that makes those lovely smears absolutely wonderful. There are 3 tone wheel modes that allow you to switch from a clean factory specd instrument to a worn and battered workhorse with many years of touring.We also created carefully modeled emulations of two of the most famous transistor organs from the 1960s the Vox Continental and the Farfisa Compact. Alongside the organs themselves the Stage 2 features our very latest rotary speaker simulation derived from the C2. Incorporating the acoustic variations that occur as a physical rotating spreads the sound around in a room they bring the Stage 2s organs to life with remarkable realism. In terms of control "Draw buttons" and LED bar graphs have replaced the original mechanical drawbars. This gives you the advantage of always having the correct drawbar settings after changing preset. For Organ sounds only the Stage 2s keybed is programmed to respond at its highest trigger position resulting in authentic feel and allowing lightning fast organ techniques.Synth Section The Stage 2s powerful new synthesizer engine was built from the DNA of the Nord Wave. Capable of classic analogue synthesis three operator FM synthesis Wavetable synthesis and crucially compatibility with the Nord Sample Library. The Nord Sample Library not only give Stage 2 owners access to the huge free library of world-class sounds including the famous vintage Mellotron and Chamberlin samples previously only available to Nord Wave and Nord Electro 3 users but thanks to the included Nord Sample Editor for Mac and PC allows user-created samples to be loaded into the instrument and thus opening up a whole new creative world of sound.The Synth engine itself features classic analogue synthesis with dual saw hard sync and pulse wave modulation three-operator FM synthesis with 32 different modulation frequencies Wavetable synthesis with 62 waveforms and Sample based synthesis. A new great-sounding multimode filter features 12 and 24d B low pass high pass band pass and notch filters. And with an Amp envelope... Representing a stunning new take on the famous Stage series the Nord Stage 2 is Nords flagship instrument line. Utilizing our very latest sound generation technology in the three categories of Piano Organ and Synthesizer combined with a well thought-out user friendly interface a choice of premium keybeds and an almost obsessive level of quality control the Stage 2 truly sets itself apart as an instrument for the professional performing musician. Image for illustration only - 88 key model shown.

The Stage 2s dedicated organ section now uses our third generation B3 Organ model the same as found in our acclaimed Nord C2 Organ.Considered by many to be the most accurate emulation of the B3 ever the Stage 2s organ model is based on the analysis of the signals from each of the 91 spinning discs inside several original instruments and painstaking work on understanding exactly how all the components interact with each other. The virtual circuitry reacts not only to the settings on the panel but also during the real time performance. The Stage 2 will faithfully reproduce the important foldback and energy robbing characteristics; the latter will produce the gentle compression effect that makes those lovely smears absolutely wonderful. There are 3 tone wheel modes that allow you to switch from a clean factory specd instrument to a worn and battered workhorse with many years of touring.We also created carefully modeled emulations of two of the most famous transistor organs from the 1960s the Vox Continental and the Farfisa Compact. Alongside the organs themselves the Stage 2 features our very latest rotary speaker simulation derived from the C2. Incorporating the acoustic variations that occur as a physical rotating spreads the sound around in a room they bring the Stage 2s organs to life with remarkable realism. In terms of control "Draw buttons" and LED bar graphs have replaced the original mechanical drawbars. This gives you the advantage of always having the correct drawbar settings after changing preset. For Organ sounds only the Stage 2s keybed is programmed to respond at its highest trigger position resulting in authentic feel and allowing lightning fast organ techniques.Synth Section The Stage 2s powerful new synthesizer engine was built from the DNA of the Nord Wave. Capable of classic analogue synthesis three operator FM synthesis Wavetable synthesis and crucially compatibility with the Nord Sample Library. The Nord Sample Library not only give Stage 2 owners access to the huge free library of world-class sounds including the famous vintage Mellotron and Chamberlin samples previously only available to Nord Wave and Nord Electro 3 users but thanks to the included Nord Sample Editor for Mac and PC allows user-created samples to be loaded into the instrument and thus opening up a whole new creative world of sound.The Synth engine itself features classic analogue synthesis with dual saw hard sync and pulse wave modulation three-operator FM synthesis with 32 different modulation frequencies Wavetable synthesis with 62 waveforms and Sample based synthesis. A new great-sounding multimode filter features 12 and 24d B low pass high pass band pass and notch filters. And with an Amp envelope... Representing a stunning new take on the famous Stage series the Nord Stage 2 is Nords flagship instrument line. Utilizing our very latest sound generation technology in the three categories of Piano Organ and Synthesizer combined with a well thought-out user friendly interface a choice of premium keybeds and an almost obsessive level of quality control the Stage 2 truly sets itself apart as an instrument for the professional performing musician.

Nord Stage 2 Series 88 Ha88

Gear 4 Music Product Information
The Nord Stage 2 is compatible with the Nord Sample Library and also the Nord Sample Editor software that lets you create your own sample instruments for infinite possibilities! Combined with Nord Piano Library compatibility the Nord Stage 2 is an instrument that offers huge expandability.Three Models The Stage 2 comes in three models: The Stage 2 HA88 and Stage 2 HA76 feature our new top-of-the-line fully weighted Hammer Action keyboard. The Stage 2 SW73 features a 73-note Semi Weighted Waterfall keyboard. Apart from the keyboard type and the number of accessories available all three models have identical features.The Sound Inside The Stage 2 has three sound generating sections; Piano Organ and Synthesizer all of which can be used simultaneously. Furthermore up to two sounds from each section can be combined in a single program for massive sonic flexibility.Piano Section The Stage 2 Piano section has evolved from the multi award winning Nord Piano; featuring our state-of-the-art sampling techniques the Stage 2s pianos capture the extraordinary nuances and real character of the individual source instruments. Combined with the intelligent String Resonance that reproduces the sound of the piano strings resonating at their fundamental or harmonic frequencies when other strings are played and compatibility with the optional Nord Triple Pedal that adds Dynamic Pedal Noise - the result is breathtaking realism and an unsurpassed expressiveness.An all-new feature in the Nord Stage 2 is the Selectable Piano Release function. With Piano Release activated you get a slightly longer release more suitable for legato playing. This important feature reflects adjusting the damper tension in an acoustic or an electromechanical instrument.In addition to vivid acoustic Grand and Upright pianos the Piano section also features some of the finest most desirable vintage electric pianos.

Access Virus Ti2 Polar Keyboard Synthesizer

Gear 4 Music Product Information
Signature look Aluminium and wooden side panels landmark designs and functionality in a sturdy metal housing - Access instruments have always been at the forefront. We take great pride in the build quality of our synthesizers which are designed engineered and built in Germany.Oscillators Three main oscillators and one sub oscillator per voice. A main oscillator can comprise of various oscillator types including the classic virtual analog oscillators (sawvariable pulse sine triangle 62 spectral waves with several FM modes) and hypersaw (a multi saw-tooth oscillator with up to 9 stacked oscillators 9 sub oscillators and sync oscillator at the same time). Wavetable oscillators with 100 multi-index wavetables feature variable resolution and optional pulse-width modulation. Graintable oscillators apply granular synthesis techniques for independent control of pitch and formants to warp a waveform beyond recognition. Formant oscillators sound like running a signal through a massive modulatable filterbank with hundreds of resonant bands being morphed by the wavetable index.Filters Two fully independent filters (lowpass highpass bandpass bandstop) with anoptional saturation module located in between both filter blocks. The saturationmodule can add one of several distortions and lo-fi effects or an additional low/-high-pass filter. Optional self-resonating Moog cascade filter simulation with circuit overload and 1-4 poles.Modulation Two-dimensional modulation matrix with six slots (1 source and 3 modulation targets each). Every feasible parameter can be modulated in realtime. Three LFOs with additional hardwired destinations along with one user-definable slot. Two lightning-fast multi-stage envelopes (ADSTR) - LFOs can be used as ramp generators as well.Effects The FX section has independent delay and reverb per patch (even in multi mode) along with multiple distortion/lo-fi algorithms phaser chorus/flanger character control ring modulator/shifter EQ plus a global vocoder. There is no difference between single and multi modes - patches sound exactly the same.Arpeggiator Each patch contains its own arpeggiator pattern feat. 32 programmable steps(length and velocity can be adjusted per step) along with a global control forswing/shuffle timing and one for note lengths. Pretty much every parameter including the pattern itself the amount of octaves and many more can be controlled using the modulation matrix.I/O6 balanced outputs (@ +4d B) backed by 192 Khz/24bit D/A converters with soft-limiting. Two inputs with 24-bit A/D. Dedicated headphone out. MIDI in out and thru. S/PDIF digital audio (44.1/48 k Hz) inputs & outputs. USB is used for MIDI and audio transmission (adding 3 additional stereo audio outputs) and works at 12Mb/s Enclosure Great synth-action keyboard with 37 keys velocity response and aftertouch. Hold and Control pedal inputs. Winter-White finish aluminium and wooden side panels white LEDs and display wood rail beneath the keyboard. Virus TI Snow: Winter-White finish white LED and display wood rail beneath the front panel.Surround sound output Every part can be panned dynamically between two stereo outputs for quadraphonic effects.Hardware controls32 knobs 43 buttons 73 LEDs and Pitch/-Modulation wheel if applicable.Polyphony Between 25 to 110 voices* depending on thecomplexity of the patch.Multi Mode Multi programs can have fully-independent embedded singles without the links to single banks required by most synths. This provides freedom from breaking other programs.Memory1024 RAM and 3328 ROM sounds 16 embedded multi patches along with 112 conventional multi slots 16 parts in multi mode.Remote Templates Turn the Virus into a MIDI remote the sound engine will still work independently.32 user programmable templates to reassign most panel knobs controlling control third party plug-ins and MIDI synthesizers (TI Desktop/Keyboard/Polar only).Smooth parameter changes Adaptive control-smoothing provides parameter changes with no zippering artifacts. With knob quantize a clock ratio is selected and parameter changes are updated at specified intervals only. The result is sample-and-hold parametermovements evocative of step sequencer sounds.Total Integration Total Integration is our proprietary technology which seamlessly links any Virus TI model and a computer to create a unified system consisting of a powerful hardware synth and a virtual instrument plug-in which not only controls the Virus TI but also receives audio from it in order to allow post-processing right inside your computer. This way you get the best of both worlds: Your Virus TI will calculate all the voices and effects and therefore makes the CPU of your computer available for other tasks. Since it is driven by the Virus Control plug-in the timing (unlike normal MIDI and USB-MIDI timing) will be sample-accurate and all sound data will be saved within the song or project. Virus Control also offers sophisticated editing capabilities along with... As much as a craftsman depends on the quality of his tools in order to achieve exceptional results many musicians rely on the Virus to impress their audience. Thats because for the success of artists today a stunning sonic signature is as important as the unforgettable melody.The Virus TI platform is the sublime fusion of an 12-year triathlon in sound-research distillation of user input and the simple desire to create an exceptional instrument. Conceived as a virtual analogue synthesizer it grew into a multi-synthesis workstation which seamlessly integrates into your production environment using our unique Total Integration plug-in technology.The new edition features 25 more calculating power and a completely re-designed housing.Click below to download an MP3 demo of the new Virus TI2 Polar
