Novation D-Station

B>Dance Dreams... Whether itŐs soul-tinged techno from Detroit, pumped-up beats from NYC or pure euphoria in Manchester, classic analogue drum machine sounds are the bed rock of many a Dance Music hit. These drum sounds, while not as 'authenticŐ sounding as digitally-sampled equivalents, have the character, warmth and ÔsoulŐ which PCM-based systems just canŐt seem to replicate. Essentiall Classic analogue drum sounds are now an essential ingredient in todayŐs rhythm based Dance Music with two units in particular, RolandŐs TR808* and TR909* the beatmasterŐs ÔDream machinesŐ. But sampling these units is not an option as you lose all the variability of the original. You canŐt lengthen the decay, you canŐt alter the attack, and if you want to get more ÔsnappinessŐ in the sound, forget it. You not only need the sound. You need the control. You need a D-Station. Featuring all the classic sounds of the TR808 and TR909, with loads of Ôgrab and adjustŐ parameters to tweak, this little baby is slick, cool and essential. Bass drums, Snare drums, Tom-Toms, Rimshots, Handclaps, Cowbell, Open and Closed Hi-Hats, Ride and Crash Cymbals, 3 Congas, Maracas and Claves. ItŐs got the lot with sounds available simultaneously allowing any combination of drums to be used as a ÔKitŐ. Awesome Analogue But, predictably, Novation (the company with a world-renowned repulation for awesome analogue sounds: SuperNova II Žt al), with a D-Station you get a host of features that were just not possible on the analogue drum machines of the past - adding a whole new dimension to these ever popular drum sounds. Presets: Adjustments made to the drum sounds can be stored in memory which can then be recalled from the front panel or by using MIDI Program Changes MIDI: Changes made to the sound editing rotary controls are transmitted as MIDI controller data. These can be recorded into a sequencer and then sent back to the D-Station which responds by re-creating the changes in real-time Distortion: Precise level control means that the overdriven sound some users favour can be set individually for each drum sound in the kit and stored in memory GM Compatible: The TR808 or TR909 sounds in the D-Station can be assigned to the General MIDI Note Numbers for percussion sounds. This means that it can be used straight away with GM files or grooves, etc. DIN Sync Output: The D-Station converts MIDI Clock data into a Din Sync control pulse which will allow any compatible unit (TB303* for example) to run in synchronisation with other MIDI equipment. Analogue Sound Modelling A typical drum sound has a very complex structure made up of many simple wave-forms all occurring at the same moment in time. To re-model an original drum sound, first it must be broken down and analyzed so as to identify the various simple wave-forms in itŐs structure as these can be converted musical instrument instruments price prices pricelist discount eshop webshop ecommerce e-shop e-commerce estore e-store prix prijs prezzo pricio vendita sale online shop store international worldwide shipping wholesale compare comparing comparison authorized dealer dealers dealership revendeur best price prices meilleur prix best buy reviews review test promotion bargains for sale sales forum repair demo demonstration samples bbs fan Belgie belgique belgium holland nederland france uk ireland scotland spain italia italy scandinavia sweden norway finland slovakia slovenia czech poland greek greece malta cyprus denmark germany deutschland estonia latvia lithuania hungary
