FEATURES- Session KeyStudio - The Make-Music-Now Keyboard Studio
Play hundreds of instrument sounds, compose and record with the
included KeyStudio keyboard and Session software!
M-Audio Session KeyStudio is the make-music-now keyboard studio for
the PC. Its combination of the KeyStudio 49-note USB keyboard and
included Session music software gives you much more flexibility
than standalone keyboards that have a limited number of built-in
sounds. With Session KeyStudio, you can use the keyboard to play
hundreds of different instrument sounds--including piano, organ,
synths and more--in the included Session software. Setup is
simple--just install and launch the software, plug in the keyboard
and included high-performance audio interface, and start playing.
Session KeyStudio also turns your PC into a full-featured recording
studio that's so easy to use, you'll be laying tracks and mixing
professional-sounding songs in no time.
* Professional 49-note keyboard
Whether you're just getting started or playing professionally, one touch
will tell you that the 49-note KeyStudio keyboard is a pleasure to play.
That's because the KeyStudio is built with the same M-Audio technology
used by music professionals on stage and in studios around the world. It
works seamlessly with most music software, including Session and
GarageBand.
* Play piano, synths and more
Use the KeyStudio keyboard to play Session's huge virtual instrument
library, which includes everything from classic sounds like pianos and
basses to pop- and rock-inspired synths and sound effects. Session even
helps you find and audition the right instruments, whether the sound
you're looking for is a bold concert grand or funky hip-hop synth. Just
select a sound and start playing. And if you want to expand your sonic
palette even further, M-Audio sells a variety of virtual instruments
including realistic emulations of vintage synths.
* Create songs in minutes
In addition to putting hundreds of cool sounds at your fingertips, the
included Session software transforms your PC into a full-featured
studio. Since the software was designed to be easy and intuitive, you
can go from playing to recording with the click of a button. When you
start a new song or track, Session automatically configures and guides
you through the creative process. And when you want a new sound or
effect, Session helps you find just the right one. It's that simple.
* Mix-and-match loop production
Loops--short, repeating audio clips--are the creative building blocks of
today's music. Session comes with hundreds of professionally recorded
loops that you can use to create instant backing tracks. What's more,
Session makes it easy to audition loops until you find just the perfect
ones for your next masterpiece. It's as simple as drag and drop.
* Mixmaster in the house
For the finishing touch, Session has everything you need to turn your
jams, remixes and mash-ups into polished, professional-sounding
productions. Sweeten a piano line with reverb and echo, give your bass
guitar some vintage grit with distortion effects and put some serious
thump in your drum loops with powerful equalization and compression
tools.
* Start playing today
The included KeyStudio keyboard quickly connects to your PC with one USB
cable--no extra cables, no drivers and no hassles. Session software

else in the background. The system also includes the M-Audio Micro USB
audio interface, which delivers optimum performance and allows you to
connect headphones and speakers to your PC.
