Background on the StudioBLADE: Keyboard production stations can be loosely defined as keyboard workstations that are connected to a computer, which is needed to provide additional processing power and features. While keyboard workstations are suited for live performance and sketching out ideas for a song, keyboard production stations, with built in high-power computer cores, allow users to go from composition to recording to mixing and finally mastering of songs that are ready for radio or direct Internet distribution.
StudioBLADEs are powered by high-performance computer cores utilizing Intel® processors that are perfect for today’s demanding musicians and the virtual instruments and software applications they use. Running Windows® 7 (64-bit), StudioBLADEs are extremely versatile, powerful and perpetually upgradeable. Base models equipped with Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processors can be easily upgraded to the latest Intel® Core™ i5 processors for even more performance. StudioBLADEs can be upgraded from the standard 4GB of RAM memory up to 8GB of RAM. More RAM means the system can run more software application, VSTs (virtual instruments) and tracks. In the past, the high-powered processor usually sat idling, waiting for information to be fed to it. With the 4GB limitation lifted, StudioBLADEs are able to fully utilize every bit of processing power from its Intel processors, making even the base model StudioBLADE, upgraded to 8GB of RAM, out perform any other keyboard production station or workstation. StudioBLADEs are available in 61-key and an 88-key versions, perfect for live or studio use. The keys are velocity-sensitive, semi-weighted action, and are professional in feel and ultra roadworthy. Pitch and Mod wheels as well as octave up and down buttons with indicators are also included.
Built into each StudioBLADE are Music Computing’s ControlDAW™ midi controller and GeoMIDI™ midi mapping software. ControlDaw presents the user with four (4) banks of eight (8) plus one (1) master channel strips each with three (3) mappable encoders with LED indicator light rings, one (1) knobs for panning, solo and mute buttons and a high-quality fader. An 8X8 grid of lighted pads (64 total) is also provided that can be used as drum trigger pads, a Monome (with appropriate software) or as a trigger pad for sequences, etc. Controls for note-repeat enabled software and transport buttons are included as well as real-time feedback between the controllers and software making ControlDAW the ultimate midi controller for music production. Included with each StudioBLADE is a high-quality wireless QWERTY (computer) keyboard and mouse. The optional computer keyboard stand (shown in main images above) allows for great ergonomics in any size work space.
Music Computing’s TriggerGrid™, included with each ControlDAW, is a sample player that allows the user to trigger sampled sounds via controllers such as the ControlDAW or ControlPLAY™. Unlimited number of banks each containing sixty four (64) samples can be loaded and played. Per pad controls included: Frequency, Attack and Release, Gain, Pan and Reverse. Per pad wave editor allows for simple drag to trim/truncate samples. 16 – audio outs for use in a DAW. File formats include: wave and mp3. Save feature allows all 64 pads to be saved as a kit. Unlimited number of kits can be saved that can be instantly loaded for playback. Simple drag and drop interface to populate pads.
Thousands of Sounds: SonicSource™ by Music Computing is a virtual synth (VSTi) equipped with three sample-playing layers, two multi-effect racks, and a library of multi-sampled instruments. The sample playing layers allow blending of waveforms and instruments into a wall of sound or alternatively, the use of the three multi-timbral layers as a workstation. These layers can then be further processed through SonicSource’s powerful multi-effect racks.
