MK-449C USB
At
home, on stage or in the studio
|
 |
The MK-449C features 9 assignable
35mm faders, 8 assignable rotary knobs,
10 assignable buttons and 49 full-size touch
sensitive keys, giving computer music enthusiasts
the extreme hands-on control needed for
their software and hardware. Even the pitch
bend and modulation wheels are both fully
assignable, as is the foot switch socket.
This is ideal for punch in/out recording
or activating record without having to take
the hands off the keyboard. All in all,
this adds up to an incredible 30 assignable
controllers.
A unique controller mute
function mutes the output of all controllers
allowing you to position them before tweaking,
so no more annoying jumping filters or
levels during your performance. Plus, it's
great for killing tracks/effects then slamming
them back in.
We have also added a drawbar
mode for the 9 faders. For the classic drawbar
organ enthusiast, this really adds an important
touch to the experience of playing instruments
such as NI B4. Ten pre-configured presets
are included with the MK-449C, making it
instantly usable with the most popular plug-ins,
virtual instruments and host applications.
Creating your own custom made setups is
quick and easy. All of the 30 real-time
controllers can be programmed with the numerical
keypad, which combined with the backlit
LCD display, makes it a breeze. Each controller
can also be setup to transmit on separate
MIDI channels and complete setups can be
stored in any of the 10 memory locations
for recalling at any time.
In addition to standard
controller numbers, the MK-449C has RPN/NRPN
and pre-programmed Sys-Ex messages, for
real-time access to parameters beyond immediate
reach on products such as SoundBlaster,
XG and GM compatible soundcards. The Sys-Ex
dump command allows the entire content of
the memory to be sent from the keyboard
and a librarian
program for PC users is included for
saving, editing and sharing keyboard setups.
The MK-449C connects to
a PC or Mac using the included USB cable.
The keyboard is even powered via USB, or
alternatively with an optional power supply.
As with all Evolution controllers, the MK-449C
is Class compliant, so no drivers are required
when using Windows XP or Mac OSX.
The conventional MIDI output
on the back of the keyboard has been included
for operation with a traditional MIDI gear
or non-USB computer setups. Used in USB
mode, the MIDI output acts as a USB to MIDI
output interface.
