Korg Kontrol 49 Usb Midi Controller

Gear 4 Music Product Information
More than just keys are needed to capture a virtuoso performance. Above the keys the pitch and mod wheels offer performance control that is comfortable and familiar. The newly designed Vector Joystick offers simultaneous control of two separate parameters and is ideally matched to the Vector control of the Korg Legacy Collections WAVESTATION virtual instrument. A pair of assignable switches can toggle two independent functions or provide incremental up and down control to a single parameter. You can connect an assignable footswitch and footpedal (both optional) to the back panel to provide elements of hands-free performance.An uncompromising control surface for working with soft-synths and audio/MIDI programs the main panel of the KONTROL49 features eight assignable sliders and eight assignable rotary encoders. Each slider/encoder pair shares a backlit LCD to display their current functions. These eight scribble strip displays provide instant feedback and three level color-coding keeps controllers grouped together visually. For example you can set the encoder functions to appear on a red LCD background switching to green to indicate slider functions. In addition you can create your own names for any function or choose from a list of common parameter names. Simply touching a controller will cause the display to switch to its current value. Even the main encoder can be used as a MIDI controller for selecting sounds tempo control and more Performance Pads Moving beyond tradition keyboard control the KONTROL49 is distinguished by the addition of sixteen illuminated and velocity sensitive trigger pads. These pads can perform any MIDI function from triggering loops and samples selecting sounds toggling or switching parameters sending MIDI messages to acting as transport controls for your computer-based sequencer. The pads can also be used to select and change scenes . Each of the 12 internal scenes reconfigures all of the controllers with a single touch so you can quickly switch the KONTROL49 to work with multiple programs or go from tweaking a soft synth to mixing your music. Best of all each scene can be customized to suit your own needs. While you can edit scenes from the front panel you can easily create adjust manage and save dozens of your own custom scenes and scene sets using the free Editor/Librarian software (Mac/PC) that comes with the KONTROL49. And of course we provide ready-made scenes for the most popular music software titles. No other controller offers this unique combination of keys pads encoders sliders and multiple displays.MIDI and more In addition to a MIDI input and a pair of MIDI outputs the back panel features a USB port allowing direct connection to your computer. This arrangement enables the KONTROL49 to function as a USB/MIDI interface. While an AC adaptor is included bus-power via the USB connector is also supported. The KONTROL49 also operates in the Korg Native Mode allowing software to directly access name and map parameters to the various control surface elements - automatically. In fact both the Korg Legacy Collection and Propellerhead s Reason 3.0 already supports this Native Mode which sets a new standard in ease-of-use and intuitive operation for a keyboard controller.**Features **49 keys 8 velocity curves 10 Octave range40 controllers in total 8 rotary 8 sliders 16 pads pitch and mod vector joystick and 2 pedal switches.12 Scene internal memory Editor/Library software USB/MIDI operation - including optional USB power Bundled Software"Live Lite 4 Korg Edition""Sample Tank 2 Korg Edition""UVI Korg Edition""Reason Adapted 3.0 for Korg""MDE-X" Few controller keyboards can boast the high level of hardware integrity found in the Korg KONTROL 49.

Korg Wavedrum Wdx Dynamic Percussion Synthesizer Pad

£369.00

Korg Wavedrum Wdx Dynamic Percussion Synthesizer Pad

Gear 4 Music Product Information
With its wide dynamic range equivalent to that of an acoustic instrument the WAVEDRUM responds perfectly to the performers action from subtly nuanced touching and stroking to aggressive hitting. It has a wide variety of instruments ranging from standard acoustic percussion instruments to new and unique percussion sounds. Instruments that normally require special techniques to play such as tabla conga etc. can be played easily.In addition Wavedrum establishes its own way of playing giving you unparalleled expression full of originality and depth. And with its compact and light weight design the WAVEDRUM fits all performance situations from casual playing through to full on recording or performance.Totally unique sounds and new ways to play will take you to a world of unprecedented sounds.The WAVEDRUM helps inquiring creative performers who seek new expressiveness and sounds. Besides ordinary percussion sounds the WAVEDRUM contains totally new and unique sounds that are not available in real world and offers new ways of playing for new musical expression. Changing the pitch randomly with each hit or play melodic phrases by setting a musical scale and applying pressure to the head a performance characteristic unique to the WAVEDRUM.You can get new previously impossible sound variations such as controlling the pitch or tone of the release part of a sound by pressing the head after playing it by hand or mallet. You can sustain sounds just by pressing the head. So for example the WAVEDRUM can produce sitar and tanpura sounds at the same time. - You can produce tanpura sounds only by hitting the head and add sitar sounds by applying pressure and then hitting the head. Applying further pressure can change the pitch of the sitar continuously within the selected scale. Thus you can express yourself by playing new sounds with new ways of playing available only with the WAVEDRUM.Attains previously unimaginable expressiveness through innovative synthesis technology.A percussion instrument that produces dynamic sounds by strokes of the hand is a very naturally "physical" instrument. The WAVEDRUM although an electronic musical instrument sticks to this physical concept. The head and rim pickups are directly used as a sound source to be processed by the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) algorithms and trigger the PCM sound engine.Together with the pressure sensor under the head the WAVEDRUM responds to subtle motions of fingers and hands such as hitting rubbing scratching etc. as well as to traditional hand playing techniques such as open shot slap shot heel and toe mute etc. Of course the WAVEDRUM also responds to different playing materials such as sticks mallets brushes etc. as well as the playing position of the head to play with the expression and dynamic range that are almost equivalent to that of acoustic drums and percussion.The rim has two types of notches small and large and these can be used to get a tremolo type effect by scratching with sticks etc. Combine the rim sounds with head sounds for an even richer more original performance.36 DSP technology algorithms and 200 PCM instruments. The WAVEDRUM contains 36 software based algorithms that use DSP technology to realize a variety of synthesis methods such as analog additive non-linear physical modeling etc. Working with these algorithms you can create various instrument sounds natural sounds etc. in addition to WAVEDRUMs own unique sounds.The PCM sound engine the other important part of Wavedrums sound creating system contains 200 PCM sounds - 100 for the head and 100 for the rim. Combining the PCM sounds with the algorithms delivers a natural response which is not possible with ordinary PCM only sound systems.The Wavedrum uses Single Size Algorithms and Double Size Algorithms.Single Size Algorithms allow you to freely assign a different algorithm and PCM instrument to the head and the rim giving you a broad array of sounds. Double Size Algorithms allow you to control the PCM sound source (the PCM instrument) not only by velocity (striking force) as on a traditional PCM sound module but also by the tone of your strike on the head. Since the force and tone of your strike affect the sound youll be able to perform with a feeling close to that of an acoustic instrument.Contains ordinary percussion/drum sounds and rare ethnic percussion instruments from around the world. Ethnic percussion instruments although seemingly simple in structure and performance are capable of expressing the emotions of a culture.The WAVEDRUM contains various percussion sounds from many eras and cultures. Besides ordinary drum sounds such as snares tom toms etc. the Wavedrum includes popular percussion instruments such as cajons congas tables etc. metal percussions such as cowbells triangles and also rare ethnic percussion sounds. With the WAVEDRUM you can instantly play the udo a clay pod percussion the jegog bamboo marimba from the island of Bali a talking drum from Africa gongs... Winner of Percussion Product Of The Year 2010 in Rhythm Magazine and Music Radar The original WAVEDRUM percussion synthesizer released in 1994 is one of KORGs legendary musical instruments famous for its innovative design performance possibilities and unique sounds. Now the affordable next generation WAVEDRUM is here - sonically richer more sensitive more powerful and expressive enough to create its own musical legend.
