1. GENERAL
Following a thorough market research, both in the past keyboards professional arrangers, music
and software, we decided to develop the software Based on the wishes of many
professional musicians around the world wanting a simple and effective tool with optimized
ergonomics for the game "Live" to play music from an orchestral quality without compromise.
2. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
You connect to the computer your favorite MIDI instrument (usually a keyboard with a MIDI or
USB output, but also guitar MIDI, MIDI accordion ...)
You connect the computer a MIDI synthesizer (sound generator)
take care to recognize "real time" played agreements and generate a complete
orchestration in the chosen style, while allowing you full control over all aspects of your
instrumental Thurs
Instead of developing software with thousands of parameters to enter into menus and
submenus, we opted for an integrative approach.
So we decided to offer a ready-to-use solution for the musician, from one end to the other the
chain of sound production.
Of course, the software is inherently scalable and we are in constant technological monitoring to
integrate progressively solutions that really seem workable for the musician.
Our first choice turned to integration Ketron SD2 sound module.
3. FEATURES
