NAMM 2010 Preview: Infrasonic M49 USB Controller

Infrasonic announces the M49 advanced USB MIDI controller. This controller offers all of the features that are requiree for creating music in the studio and during live performance with state-of-the-art technology. All functionalities on M49 are easily created and modified by M49 editing software which allows multiple access MIDI driver (Windows only) on the fly, without browsing a tiny little LED screen.
The speed sensitive 49 keys have six-velocity curves for sophisticated play and sound. The pad is capable of pitch bend and other modifications only by simply touching and dragging with your finger. You can freely assign different functions to your software that offers quite suitable live performance of parameter control such as EQ, Filter and etc. And it can be switched to 4-note drum trigger pad by M49 Editing Software. Independently assign the x and y axis of the vector control joystick. Use it as a USB mouse to navigate through your software for on-the-fly computer access. M49 freely maps 8 knobs to popular DAWs and software instruments. The circle LED turns on with each tweak, giving you more of a distinguished sense of control in any circumstance.
A full transport panel enables you to take control of your music software (Cubase, Logic and Reason, etc) and track navigation combined with the user's MIDI controller assignment. And also it comes with jog wheel to easy access FF or REW for instant track navigation. The knob system provides state-of-the-art technology which allows the user to assign each knob multiple functions provided within the included programs. While using this function, the user may switch between different group assignments. This can conflict with the control signal transmission functionality, so we've added a special feature to our M49 product. Infrasonic's M49 comes with its own software in the packaging. In here, you can modify different options for your controller. Everything is modifiable; i.e. setting the joystick into mouse mode or joystick mode(x-y axis control). Using M49 Editing software, you can edit the parameter settings of your M49 controller through a Windows or Mac OS X computer. These parameter settings can be saved and recalled (loaded) as scene data on the computer, and then transmitted to (or received form) the M49 controller itself. The M49 is class-compliant under Windows XP and Mac OS X. On a PC, minimum system requirements include a Pentium 4 or equivalent CPU with 512 MB RAM. On a Mac, minimum system requirements include a Macintosh G4 or better processor running OS X 10.3 or later with 512 MB RAM.
