E2 Headrush

Are you a bass player and ever wanted (or needed) to play synth bass lines without a) tying up the keyboard player's valuable left hand or b) having to learn to play a keyboard yourself? If so, the DEEP IMPACT bass synth is for you.

Featuring a four-oscillator synthesiser optimised for fat bass sounds, the DEEP IMPACT pedal allows you to use your existing bass guitar to generate woofer wobbling synth bass lines.

Synth presets are selected using the footswitches or the effect can be completely bypassed using Akai Professional's 'true bypass' feature which allows the straight sound to pass through with no unwanted colouration from the pedal's circuitry.

Manual

SB1 Deep Impact

MPC500 is the first portable MPC. You can sample and create music wherever inspiration strikes: on the subway, on the plane, or even at the beach! Whether you're traveling around the globe or just across town, MPC500 is a perfect fit for your backpack, messenger bag, or briefcase. Beats and productions created in MPC500 can be dropped into your computer via USB or into your main MPC with the swappable CF card when you get back into the studio.

MPC500 is a 48-track sequencer with a 32-voice stereo sampler. It has 12 velocity and pressure-sensitive rubber MPC pads. 16MB of memory comes standard and can be expanded up to 128MB. When connected to a Mac or PC via USB, you can drag and drop data between the computer and your MPC500's CF card, just like a hard drive. Because MPC500 is compatible with other MPCs, MPC500 is the perfect way to extend your studio into your mobile lifestyle.

MPC500

The award-winning HEADRUSH is the first effects pedal offering not only high quality delay effects but also tape echo simulation and a looping recorder in one.

User selectable delay options allow for maximum control of signal output and include several real-time timing and level adjustment selections as well as feedback level for repeats.

HEADRUSH can also simulate a 4-head analog tape echo machine. Furthermore, the outputs of each of these virtual heads appear on individual outputs for ultimate flexibility when used with an external mixing console.
The LOOPING RECORDER mode allows you to record and overdub layer after layer of sound - an unbelievable live performance tool.
