PX-7, 2.0 os and more...
2003-03-17 by Sean Wilhelmsen
Hey guys, here's the latest information regarding Command Stations. PX-7 The PX-7 debuted at Music MESSE. It's metallic silver highlighted with blue, due out in the states in June, everywhere else in July. The pictures you see from MESSE our close to what it will look like, but the paint used for that prototype is more a flat/unfinished paint which is a less flashy version of what will ship in June. The PX-7 has one ROM, a new 32 MB drum ROM. The signature sounds or highlighted sounds will be several new acoustic, multi layered drum kits. It will also have electronic, hip-hop and world percussion as well. The PX-7 patterns will be more like drum machine patterns. We plan to provide a full collection of styles. The new drum ROM will also be available on its own for Command Stations, Proteus Keyboards and P2K/P1K module owners. Ship date will be shortly after the PX-7 is released. 2.0 operating System We are in the final stages of Beta test. A release should happen with the next two weeks. I will most likely post it to my ftp site before it becomes available from our web site, but I'll keep you posted. There are at least 15 new features including "X-MIX" which allows you to mix tracks from other patterns into your current pattern in real time. We have created a lot of power user/short cut features as well as given you replace record, recording of mutes in song mode, time scaling/shift, loop section in a pattern, which also can be used real time and expand/explode tracks. The more stuff Nothing to report, It just looked good in the subject. Have a great day sean at e-mu [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
