March 3, 1999MIDI from a company known for digital audio? This makes more sense than you
might first think! Regardless of your approach, the end result is sound ...
you know, audio.
The quality of that audio is the most important factor, not whether you played
an instrument in real-time or triggered a MIDI device. With that in mind, SEK'D,
known for high resolution audio recording and editing, has added the ability
to record, playback and edit MIDI tracks as well as audio tracks. This means
you can keep the exceptional sound quality and productivity of Samplitude without
having to run an additional MIDI sequencer program on your PC!
SEK'D has added both the ability to control Samplitude from a hands-on controller
and a new product, a moving fader motorized controller called the SEK'D Control
Master 1. This mixer control surface offers 8, bank-switchable motorized faders
plus 8 rotary pots, 68 switches and much more for controlling Samplitude and
Red Roaster in the most comfortable way ever! SEK'D Control Master I is THE
hands-on controller for use with SEK'D software.
Samplitude now has added the ability to control many aspects of the program
directly from a MIDI control surface. Use real hardware faders and buttons to
mix your audio, draw equalization curves, move objects, and generally control
Samplitude with actual hardware controls. MIDI controllers such as the SEK'D
Control Master I motorized controller and the Peavey PC 1600 send information
in MIDI standard format to the Samplitude Control Panel, which translates this
information to a message the program can understand and process. Samplitude
then receives this information and uses it for internal operations, like setting
the Volume-Fader in the mixer or horizontal scrolling in a VIP project.
The Control Panel has the ability to "learn" MIDI commands so that
any fader, button or other data control (such as a data wheel) on your MIDI
controller can perform functions within Samplitude. This capability is a breakthrough
for those who love the power and flexibility of recording and editing on a computer,
but prefer to use "hands-on" controls! After all, if you learned to
mix with real faders, there simply is no practical substitute. For more information, visit Sek'D at http://www.sekd.com/ |
