Setting New Standards in Portable MIDI Control Introducing the next generation of EDIROL’s popular MIDI keyboard controllers. In addition to providing more physical controls than previous models, the PCR-300 also offers new innovative and intuitive controls. This controller is solidly built, and optimized for both music production and live performance. Features: 32 velocity-sensitive keys, now with aftertouch 50 fully assignable controls, and editor software (Mac & PC) 18 velocity pads New, unique crossfader feature High-quality keyboard mechanism, and durable, stable body ?Dynamic Mapping? ? intelligent assignment of controls Convenient location of connections on side panel USB bus-powered MIDI merge ?Cakewalk Production Plus Pack? included (SONAR LE, Project 5 LE, and Dimension LE) 50 x Assignable Controllers The new PCR Series offers all the controls of previous models, but with the addition of even more controls that allow players to maximize the playability and operability of their MIDI hardware and software. Assignable Controls & 18 x Velocity Pads The new PCR Series has all the existing controls of the previous range, but adds exciting new features, such as velocity pads ? perfect for playing drums and triggering sampler phrases. These precision pads can operate as buttons or velocity pads, and the handy LED indicators identify which of the two modes is selected. Unique Crossfader & Long-Throw Sliders The new Crossfader allows control of two parameters at the same time, and can be used to control synthesizer filters, DJ gestures and more. The new longer-throw sliders can control eight track faders and one master fader, or function as organ drawbars. High-Quality Keyboards with Aftertouch The new ultra-sensitive keyboards provide a wider dynamic range under the player’s fingertips, while new aftertouch sensors allow the keyboardist to play more expressively. Smooth key action, keys shaped for comfortable glissando playing, silent operation, and stable key mounting all contribute to the enhanced playability of these keyboards. Intelligent ?Dynamic Mapping? and Editor Software Dynamic Mapping allows the PCR to automatically assign its physical controls to the most important parameters (e.g. in the current window of the software being used). Fifteen user memory locations are provided for storing your favorite setups. When using software that’s not compatible with Dynamic Mapping, you can manually configure the Control Map settings from the PCR itself or the included PCR Editor Software (Mac or Win). Side Panel Connections for Streamlined Routing The rear panel of the keyboard is free of connections so that you can easily have a computer display (e.g. LCD monitor), ASCII keyboard, mouse & mouse pad, or laptop computer behind the keyboard ? in the ideal position for use. This is especially beneficial for educational users in classrooms where space is often restricted. All connections are located on the left side

While fads and fashions may come and go, the true classics will always be in demand. It’s been nearly a decade since DigiTech introduced the mind bending effects of the Whammy pedal to the world, and that original design has been in demand ever since. The same smooth pitch bends, rich detuning, accurate dive bombs, and fast tracking harmony shifts, which were responsible for the instant success of the original Whammy pedal have been resurrected in the new incarnation of the DigiTech Whammy??????? Pedal. Painstaking efforts were made to recreate the exact sounds that made the DigiTech Whammy such a popular and indispensable effect. Every feature of the original WH-1 has been included in the new Whammy; From the rotary preset selection knob, to the Ferrari red color; From the mechanical momentary switch, to the exact same interval selections. However, the new Whammy has added the versatility of MIDI control making this timeless effect flexible enough for any situation. The new “Dive Bomb” Preset gives the effect of a Floyd Rose whammy bar pushed all the way to the body of the guitar, and 16 LEDs provide a visual indication of your Preset selection even on dimly lit stages.

DIGIDESIGN COMMAND-8 MOTORIZED CONTROL SURFACE The Command-8 puts integrated, tactile manipulation of Pro Tools TDM or LE systems running on Windows XP or Mac OS X at your fingertips more affordably than ever before. While there are several compact control surface options from third-party manufacturers compatible with Pro Tools, only the Command-8 was made by Digidesign and Focusrite specifically for Pro Tools. As a result, the Command-8 provides a great deal more sophisticated control with Pro Tools software, and has been tested and qualified specifically for Pro Tools. Borrowing elements from Digidesign’s higher-end control surfaces, Command-8’s eight bankable channels of moving faders, rotary encoders, and displays enable you to control Pro Tools with the hands-on feel of a traditional analog console. What’s more, its onboard monitor system features Focusrite audio performance and quality, accommodating Pro Tools audio along with external inputs, speakers, and separately controlled headphone outs. A simple USB connection facilitates communication between the Command-8 and your computer. The Command-8 also includes an integrated, fully editable MIDI interface and features a stand-alone MIDI controller mode, enabling you to use it with your favorite third-party MIDI applications and devices ? any that accept MIDI control change messages for level, panning, solo, mute, MIDI Machine Control, and other mappable parameters. For post production suites, Avid products are natively supported by the Command-8, including Avid Media Composer. When used with Avid products, the Command-8 can be used to control the Automation Gain Tool for recording dynamic volume automation as well as Solo, Mute and Snap Mode on and off. Better yet, the Command-8’s onboard monitor section alleviates the need for an external mixer for speaker control.
