Image Line FL Studio 7 Producer Edition Virtual Studio



FL Studio 7 is a fully featured, open-architecture music creation and production environment for PC. No extra music software is required* to produce any style of music, as the complete set of instrument and studio tools is included in the cost of the package. With the included plugins, sounds and tools the user can create complete songs, as well as backing tracks, loops and sizzling beats. Completed songs can be saved to WAV, MP3 or MIDI or .ZIP or native project formats (.FLP). Instruments
Make virtually any sound. FL7 includes 13 virtual synthesizers covering acoustic/synthetic bass, electric guitar and plucked string simulation, sampler tools including piano, general sample playback, and beat-slicing, and a range of synthesis techniques (subtractive, modelling, FM, granular and additive). Audio Recording & Editing
Capture audio from a single vocalist right through to a full symphony orchestra. FL7 virtual studio can record up to 64 simultaneous tracks of audio#. The Playlist workspace can contain an unlimited number of audio tracks and allows you to arrange discrete audio events in any order, and position the creative process dictates with complete flexibility. Audio tools allow the ability to time-stretch, pitch-shift, beat-slice, chop, edit and creatively deconstruct audio. FL7 software also introduces Edison, a fully featured mastering wave editor and recorder. FL Studio supports WAV, MP3 and OGG formats. Sequencing
Record musical performances and ideas in the most logical way. FL7 functions as both a pattern and track based sequencer depending on user preferences. Tools include an unlimited track Step-sequencer, an industry-leading Piano Roll and Automation Clips. FL Studio supports MIDI and input from all standard Controllers. Arranging
Determine your own project design. In FL7, you decide how your project will be laid out. Unlike the competition, FL7's Playlist is a totally flexible and virtually unbounded space where Note Pattern, Audio and Automation data can be arranged, and edited to suit your creative ideas and workflow. Mixing/Mastering
The most powerful mixer in its class. FL7 music software includes an industry-leading 64 stereo track mixer. Each track can include up to 8 effects and can also be routed to any of the other 64 tracks or one of 4 dedicated 'send' channels. The 44 included effects plugins span Compression, Delay, Distortion, EQ, Filtering, Phasing, Flanging, Chorus, Vocoding and Reverb. These will take you from the creative broad-brush effects like reverb, through to the minutia of the mastering process with multiband compression/limiting and parametric EQ. Lifetime free updates
Registered Image Line FL Studio users who purchase the download edition of the program receive lifetime free updates to the level of the program they buy (Express, Fruity Loops or Producer edition). For example, all FL Studio 6 customers will be able to download FL Studio 7 free, FL Studio 8 free and so on. Boxed edition users can purchase lifetime free updates for a nominal fee.

Open Labs Gen3 NeKo SE Keyboard

Open Labs Gen3 NeKo SE Keyboard



Open Labs Gen3 NeKo SE Keyboard



NeKo SE is an acclaimed hybrid Windows XP musical keyboard production station. It is an entirely new class of super instrument and a big step above the average keyboard workstation.

The Gen3 NeKo is capable of hosting up to 275 plug-in sounds and effect at once, play over 450-voice polyphony, record over 64 audio tracks at 24/96 simultaneously and clone virtually any other electronic keyboard or rack-mount sound module. Other keyboard workstations in comparison, can only produce up to 20-bit audio resolution, play up to 128-voice polyphony, host only a few plug-in modules if any and cannot mimic other musical hardware products.

The importance of plug-in sounds and effect is that in the past few years, software emulation of synthesized sounds have equaled and even surpassed dedicated hardware products providing higher audio quality and a dramatically larger number of choices. In addition, sampling technologies now provide lifelike acoustic sounds that rival the actual instruments, however; the samples may be gigabytes in size.

NeKo is the only keyboard that can play these sampled sounds because it is powered by a very powerful computer. Closed platform keyboards neither have the power or memory to play a large number of plug-ins, large sample sounds or third-party musical applications. Because of the advances in software, the entire MI industry is rapidly moving towards computer-assisted performance and recording.

A true open platform instrument, NeKo is the only keyboard production station that will allow you to run virtually all standard plug-in formats including VST, VSTi and DXi in addition to Windows XP based software applications. On the hardware side, the NeKo is the only keyboard that will allow you to upgrade virtually every component, allowing it to remain state-of-the-art long after other electronic keyboard workstations become obsolete.

Yamaha 64-Note Polyphony Stereo Plug-In Board



Yamaha 64-Note Polyphony Stereo Plug-In Board



The ultimate piano expansion board for any Yamaha product that supports a Yamaha modular synthesis plug-in system. The entire wave ROM (over 29 MB) is used to realistically capture all the nuances of Yamaha's award-winning CFIIIS concert grand piano. The piano was tuned and voiced by a master concert technician to deliver the finest piano sounds ever available for a synthesizer.

This new long-looped, three-layer stereo piano sample offers an extremely wide dynamic range, from elegant pianissimo to a powerful fortissmo. This range of tonal colors allows you complete expressive freedom, no matter what type of music you play. The 32 preset piano voices cover a wide variety of musical styles. This adds 64 notes of polyphony to the host system dedicated just to these new piano sounds.

Dedicated on-board effects processing include EQ, reverb, chorus, and variation effects completely independent of the host systems effects.
