Alesis airFX Digital Effect Instrument
|
|
|
The Alesis airFX digital effect instrument featuring the first spatial parameter control. Filters, effects, and processing using a revolutionary X,Y and Z axis infrared controller that's so easy to use, you can be a remix artist right out of the box! Must be seen to be believed.
The definitive musical instrument for this wild, wired and whacked-out world we call home
But you don't even have to touch it to play it. No strings. No keys. No pedals. Just move your hands - or any other body part - through the invisible, 3D infrared sphere and twist the twangiest country tune into non-stop trip hop. Transform ad jingles into trance. Or warp the edgiest drum and bass tracks straight into the twilight zone. And back again, changing the sound with the slightest twitch of your hand.
Features 50 quality-preset programs
Alesis airFX features 50 quality-preset programs that modify any audio signal from CDs and vinyl to live performance in real time. While the performance-oriented nature and high-quality effects of the product appeal to DJs, remix engineers and musicians, airFX is simple enough to be enjoyed by anyone who wants to make their own music.
The first product from Alesis to incorporate patent-pending Axyz technology
airFX is the first product from Alesis to incorporate patent-pending Axyz (pronounced ax-is) technology. Developed by co-founder and CEO of Alesis, Keith Barr, Axyz technology consists of an infrared beam that can be manipulated in three dimensions, along the X, Y and Z axis. Using triangulation, up to five different parameters can be controlled in each preset program.
Easy to operate
Alesis airFX is easy to operate because 'playing' it is largely based on human intuition. Virtually anyone who wants to be part of the musical process now has the power to make music themselves. You can simply hook it up to a stereo in their bedrooms, wave your hands and you've made new music - almost like magic.
Eliminates the learning curve associated with playing a traditional instrument
airFX eliminates the learning curve associated with playing a traditional instrument or learning a piece of audio gear and provides immediate gratification. The simple interface consists of a single knob, which is used to select, engage, by-pass, freeze, and release a given effect, and an LCD that indicates the current program. 'Playing' airFX involves pressing the knob to engage the effect and then moving a hand through the invisible infrared sphere to create sounds or to alter the incoming audio signal.
50 preset programs
The 50 preset programs include effects like panning, flanging, pitch shifting, and resonance filtering. airFX offers a host of other esoteric digital signal processing effects that include programs like Vinylizer(tm) a scratchy vinyl simulator, and a scratching effect that emulates the sound of 'rocking' a vinyl record as it plays on a turn-table. airFX also features real Sub-harmonic synthesis (which creates low frequency harmonics for very low bass sounds), vocoding, synthesizer and percussion/effect sounds. airFX program names include: Haunted Landscape, Gender Bender, Decimator, SunSpot, Tokyo Phase, Percolator, Overdrive, Psychofase, Ghost Flange, Phasors on Stun, Pitch Transporter, Snake Bite and Bow Wow.
One of the first Alesis products to feature the company's new industrial design
The unit also features stereo RCA inputs and outputs, a frequency range of 20Hz-20kHz, 24-bit converters and ships with a 9-volt DC external power supply. Because suddenly, everything else is just so 20th century.
