Beskrivelse
Flexible connection to MIDI and Analog Gear
Whether you’re playing modern MIDI or vintage analog synths, working on a home computer, or touring with an iOS device, the A-01 module offers multiple connection options that can accommodate every MIDI format. For older MIDI synths, just use the standard MIDI IN / OUT connector. To work with your favorite DAW software on either Mac or PC, the A-01 has a USB MIDI connector, while MIDI over Bluetooth lets you produce on a tablet or smartphone, as well as a computer. Even better, your trusty analog gear and vintage modular synths can be incorporated into your new setup via the A-01’s CV / GATE OUT.
Built-in Engine and keyboard connection
What you may not know is that the A-01 is not just a MIDI controller, it’s also a pocket synthesizer perfect for creating original music at home or away. With an 8-bit CPU engine developed by the engineer responsible for Roland classics, including the JX-3P, this module owns the concept of the Roland Boutique Family. Docking into the optional Roland K-25m keyboard, you have 25 velocity-sensitive keys at your fingertips to create music in real time and drive external equipment. Combined with a 16-step sequencer for sparking ambitious musical ideas, the A-01 goes far beyond control and kick-starts your creativity.
Real-time control on stage and in the studio
Whether you’re working on a complex studio arrangement or triggering synths at a concert, it’s important to have a MIDI controller that gives you the information you need at a moment’s notice. Thanks to the A-01’s intuitive operation and visual representation of data, you will always be in control. Designed for real-time performance, the module features dedicated rings and dual band controls that can be assigned to pitch bend, modulation, sound preview and channel and polyphonic aftertouch, as well as CC and system exclusive data. Even in a pitch-black spot, you’ll be kept in the loop via the 192×40 graphic LCD screen, which gives you all the facts, right down to the shape of the output waveform.
