SmithsonMartin Takes Touch To A New Level


What:
SmithsonMartin showed off the new Emulator Modular, a customizable touch control surface that at first blush will draw comparison to the JazzMutant Lemur. There are distinct differences to point out though; mostly regarding the software, which incorporates some ingenious concepts. The Emulator software lays "on top" of your computer screen running, say Tracktor, you can then "cut out" a section, say the crossfader, and incorporate the actual crossfader Traktor GUI element into your custom touch surface control layout and make it touchable and visible on the Emulator touchscreen. Nothing like this has ever been available before in the controller world and needs to be seen to believe. One missing link is no OSC support, but it's on the way.

When: Febuary

How much: $2500 MAP

Focusrite Gives You Control

What: The Focusrite Control 2802 is a small-format mixer with an all-analog signal flow featuring fully automable flying faders, an extensive monitoring section, and a great sounding, analog stereo bus compressor that's even patchable into specific mic input channels on the 2802 itself or inserted into your own analog preamps. The 2802 makes for a great summing mixer for your DAW. Going one step further, this analog board also serves as a DAW controller. No detail seems to have been left out of this well laid out board. The big news is the $1000 price drop from $4999 to $3999!

When: Now!

How much: $3999 MAP
