2. Features
●
MIDIbox/FreeRTOS (real-time operating system) STM32F4 microcontroller-based
application resulting in minimal MIDI jitter/latency
●
Responsive and optimized UI for an easy-to-use workflow with a fast learning
curve: it is ideal for recording concepts/ideas in your studio and for live
performances on stage
●
Holds 36 MIDI clips in a matrix of 6 tracks (horizontal) and 6 scenes (vertical)
●
Clips contain notes recorded with their original timing, allowing for nearly
unlimited polyphony and unquantized storage of about 10 000 notes per session
(polyphony is naturally limited by MIDI throughput).
●
Overdubbing (adding notes) without erasing existing notes (looper approach)
●
Dynamic requantization of notes at any time (including during recording) and
real-time application of other LiveFX such as quantized swing and note-skip
probabilities
●
Clip scrolling, clip length changes, clip zooming/stretching and note transposition
at any time (including during recording)
●
Two performance modes with a dedicated knob for live transposition and
"beatloop", offering different sequence-scrambling time progressions that can
completely alter a rhythm or melody line while keeping the harmony and sequence
runtime identical to the unaltered version
●
Manual sequence scrubbing/time scratching with a dedicated knob
●
Dedicated scene progression knob, launching six new clips for song progression
●
Data entry with push-to-accelerate rotary encoders: pushing the VALUE knob while
turning will expedite changes, useful e.g. for moving a note many steps or
transposing by many semitones
●
High-speed two-key "muscle memory" menu navigation and shortcut SHIFT
functions for direct clip launching/track mute/ track unmute access from any screen
●
Dedicated clip COPY/PASTE/DELETE keys
●
Three DIN MIDI OUT ports and two DIN MIDI IN ports allow direct connectivity of
most classic MIDI gear
●
Four virtual USB MIDI IN/OUT ports to drive VSTs/software synthesizers and
connect to your DAW
●
Graphical OLED offering instant live feedback on all operations such as
transposition, note probabilities, beatloops and more
●
Integrated note editor for editing your sequences without a computer/mouse and
to quickly correct recording mistakes
●
Full-sized SD card used to store sessions and for data backup
●
Light-weight design and a small case fits into any backpack and can be portably
powered for hours using a standard USB powerbank
●
Very quick boot-up times and automatic last-session recall: continue with your work
exactly when inspiration strikes and not after a required operating system software
update :-)
