Designed to meet the needs of today?s electronic musicians, Radium offers users real-time control of any 16 MIDI parameters within their favorite software programs. Five user-definable preset banks extend this control to 80 MIDI parameters of the user?s choice at the touch of a button.Radium also has a built-in USB MIDI interface that communicates 16-channels of MIDI data directly with the computer without the need for a separate MIDI interface. Two separate MIDI Outs send data to external gear?one from the keyboard and one from the computer. Additional controls include pitch wheel, modulation wheel and octave up/down keys that extend the range of the 5-octave keyboard. The unit can be powered via the USB port or via a 9V DC power supply for standalone operation.Radium?s 16 real-time controllers allow the unit to serve in a variety of capacities, with or without a computer. Performers benefit from greater freedom of expression. Synthesists can easily access parameters buried deep within their hardware without having to navigate arcane nested menus. Songwriters and producers can enter drum patterns from the keyboard and use the controllers to adjust the dynamics, feel and effects. Radium also brings tactile control to today?s virtual studios, with its sliders mapped to virtual faders and the knobs controlling pan, effects sends and more. We... ... Read more

Product Description

Small and perfectly formed, this diminuitive MPC is not some compromised little runt of the litter as you might expect. On the contrary - the MPC1000 inherits many of the major features of its older, bigger siblings but in a compact form that makes it ideal for carrying around? to your friends, to a gig, to a session? wherever. And it?s a creditable alternative to computer based systems. As part of its lineage, the MPC1000 features the sixteen characteristic velocity and pressure sensitive pads that have been an established (and essential) component of the MPC series since its inception - arguably, they are the best pads on any drum machine past or present! Also retained is the MPC's legendary 'feel' and 'groove' so that you can be sure that your beats and sequences just swing. It also features the original MPC60?s intuitive transport and locate controls, the unique NOTE REPEAT function plus new additions such as the two Q-Link sliders that allow real-time interaction with tuning, filter cutoff, layer switching, attack and decay. Add to these a well established, friendly and intuitive user interface, two separate multi-effects processors (plus a master output effects processor!), resonant multi-mode filters, 4-way sample layering and velocity switching per pad, two MIDI ins and 32 MIDI channels via the two MIDI outputs, multiple audio outputs as standard, footswitch inputs for ?hands-free? control and you have most of what you?d expect to find in a rugged, depe... ...

Don't LetTheSmallSizeFoolYou.
My first impressions on the newest and smallest MPC in Akais great lineup of sampler/beat machine was thatit just HAD to be a lesser equiped version of those higher numbered MPC.WRONG!!!.I've used all MPCs and can say that I am pretty skilled with the MPC-60, 60 II, 2000, 200xl, and 3000 and just begining to peak at what the MPC4000 can truly do (it is in a whole different level and not at all for the novice).

The MPC1000, in my opinion is the best of the lot (not including the MPC4000).It doesn't have the warm sound that the MPC-60/60 II has but overall it can do anything that you want it to do.It does everything that a 2000/2000xl can do.It may have a smaller number of outputs but that is not that big of a deal if you know what you are doing.

Armed with a computer (as most of us are) the MPC1000 is extremely capable of accomplising any task that its big brothers can.In fact it handles many things better than those costing much more.

The MPC1000 is set up more like an MPC4000 and will aid those who hope to step up to using the big boy.Starting with a 2000 or 3000 will hinder you, in that some of those things you will do on those machines you will have to re-learn how to do those same things on the 4000 (once you pay the big bucks to make that move).

Don't be put off by it's tiny size.Max out it's memory, get a big compact flash card (it canhandle up to a 2 gig card, WOW) and this little box will STOMP the 2000 and 3000, even the 60 (remember those aren't made anymore and are quit old).

This thing KICKS. ... Read more

The PCR-M30 is a revised version of the popular PCR-30 MIDI Keyboard Controller. Like the PCR-30, the PCR-M30 offers direct connection to the computer through USB, 32-Keys, 27 assignable MIDI controllers, a software editor, MIDI input and output, and both sustain and expression pedal connections. Some advancement the PCR-M30 has made over the PCR-30 includes the addition of velocity curves, switchable MIDI interface, and a new key-action found on Rolands higher-end synths. The PCR-M30's key-action has been refined to produce even less mechanical noise than its predecessor and offer a consistent, playable feel. The keys themselves are slightly more rounded to keep your fingers from tripping over the keys during quick glissandi. The Pitchbend/Modulation has a new rubber coating for easier grip. High Quality Mechanism for the Serious Player With a newly designed key mechanism --- taken from Roland's 30 years of synthesizer development --- players can control a wide dynamic range with incredible subtlety. The re-designed key assemblies have a rounded shape for better reaction to the player's touch and more comfortable glissando, plus changes have been made to reduce the already low mechanical noise of the PCR-80 and eliminate vertical shake on the key strokes. The newly developed pitch bend and modulation design offers you easier and more expressive control. All these features add up to a keyboard that even the most discerning player can appreciate. ...

Whether you're a beginner waiting to pound your first skin or a professional musician looking for a new sound, the First Act MD802 digital drum set meets your needs with gusto. Each of the nine trigger inputs on the touch-sensitive drum pads and cymbals produces a true response, delivering a genuine drum sound or a strikingly original effect from among the 389 digital voices. The set also includes 20 preset drum kits, 10 user kits, and 50 preset songs from which to choose. Unlike some digital setups, the MD802 simulates the actual drum experience, with large striking surfaces, real drumheads, and well-designed cymbal pads that deliver a natural feel and response. Meanwhile, the set's bass drum pedal and hi-hat trigger pedal also sound and feel like the real deal. The entire MIDI-compatible setup is controlled through the digital sound module, which includes both an easy-to-read LCD display and data wheel programming.

The set is housed on a durable and lightweight aluminum frame with a Roto-Lock adjustable clamp system. The frame is easy to install and position, while also breaking down quickly for carrying to another room or a friend's house. In addition, the set includes an "easy path" cable harness with color-coded jacks to minimize confusion during setup. As with all First Act music products, the MD802 carries a two-year warranty against defects. ... Read more

Product Description

Now, you can have all the exclusive Nord Electro 2 piano and B-3 organ sounds in a compact 19" unit - at a very affordable price! The previously released 5 and 6 octave keyboard versions of Nord Electro and Nord Electro 2 have become huge successes. A lot of keyboard players and studio musicians like to use a master keyboard for all their synths and samplers and for those, a rack mountable instrument is probably still the best choice. The Nord Electro Rack 2 comes with all the great sounds and features of the Nord Electro 2 keyboard models - except for the key bed. The organ in the Electro 2 is based on a digital simulation of the mechanical tone wheels of the B-3 organ. It offers innovative solutions to mimic the typical B-3 sound, for example:A complex digital model of the original chorus and vibrato scanner. Modeling of the individual random contact bounces for each partial. Modeling of the unique frequency characteristics of the built-in pre-amplifier which forms the ?body? of the B-3 sound. Simulation of the energy stealth on the tone wheels that results in the typical compressed sound. Authentic tuning of the tone wheels according to the original B-3 design. The piano section comprises five carefully multi-sampled electric piano instruments: Rhodes Mk I Stage Piano, Rhodes Mk I Suitcase Piano, Wurlitzer 200A, Clavinet D6 (with 64 filter and pickup combinations) and the custom modified Clavia Electric Grand Model G. Nord also included an acoustic... ... Read more
