Hardware options for Pro Tools LE and M-Powered systems
completes your MIDI and audio recording system. M-Audio also o ers a range
of accessories including sustain and expression pedals, an a ordable studio
microphone, and Ableton Live software.
The MIDI keyboard has pitchbend and modulation wheels at the left and an
octave selector button that you can press to play lower notes or higher notes
than the default range. Above these there are several controls for output level,
headphone level, input gain, and so forth. Directly above the keys, you will
see two columns of buttons that let you select the preset, group or zone, with
an assignable joystick positioned between these. A row of 14 MIDI assignable
buttons runs above the rest of the keys. Above the buttons there is a small LCD
screen, eight assignable knobs and nine MIDI assignable faders. You can use all
these controls to give you hands-on control of any MIDI-controllable hardware
devices, mixers, sound modules or e ects, or ‘virtual’ instruments, e ects, and
other software.
The audio and MIDI interfaces are accessed via the back panel. Ozonic has just
one FireWire socket, which can be a limitation if you want to use it with other
FireWire peripherals. Normally, Ozonic takes its power from your computer
via the FireWire bus, but a low-voltage power input is provided that you can
use with any suitable mains adapter as necessary. MIDI in and out sockets are
provided along with a pair of jack sockets for sustain and expression pedals.
There are four 1/4” audio output jacks, three 1/4” audio input jacks, an XLR
socket with associated phantom power switch that you can use to hook up
any stage or studio microphone – and a headphone socket.
You get a cut-down version of Reason free with Ozonic to get you started.
You also get a software control panel that provides basic audio mixing and
metering facilities. And now that Avid/Digidesign owns M-Audio, you can buy
Pro Tools M-Powered software to use as the software front-end for Ozonic. This
means that the les you record using Ozonic at a gig, in the eld or on the road
can be session-compatible with full Pro Tools systems at professional studios
around the world.
FireWire 410 and FireWire 1814
The FireWire 410 has two balanced analogue inputs and eight balanced
analogue outputs plus two channels of S/PDIF I/O. You might choose this
interface when you need to run discrete output channels to independent mixer
channels and other outboard gear, or to provide separate outputs for surround
monitoring. It has MIDI in and out sockets, direct hardware monitoring, and is
bus-powered with an optional low-voltage power input.
