Creamware Introduces The Klangbox
Creamware has introduced The Klangbox. The Klangbox is a unique concept that offers Creamware’s leading soft synth emulators in a 1 unit, 19″ rackmount. But here’s the kicker, no knobs, buttons or a screen. Creamware’s idea is that the user will use a dedicated MIDI controller. And with today’s plethora of MIDI controllers with X/Y pads, sliders, knobs, infrared, this is forward thinking stuff. The Authentic Sound Box (ABS) rackmounts will come in four flavors: Minimax, Pro-12, B4000 and Prodyssey.
The core of each soft synth is the aforementioned ASB Audio-Engine – remote controllable via MIDI and USB – with stereo Ins- and Outs and effects processor for contemporary stereo effects such as Delay, Chorus and Flanger. The Editor-Software (PC and Mac) provides access to all parameters of the sound modelling and also serves as organizer tool for the 128 factory and 128 user-sounds.
All instruments of the Klangbox Series can immediately be played with every MIDI-Keyboard. Sound changes can be handled via the MIDI-Controllers of your keyboard, by external MIDI-controller boxes as well as with the Editor-Software. You can change existing sounds or even create your own sounds at a glimpse. Recording the MIDI-controller-data is simple with every Sequencer Software available.
