Emulator KS-1974 hands-on

2012-01-20
we've got the control surface 1974 here it's an all-in-one touchscreen it doesn't come with a computer attached you attached via USB and you connect it to either using HDMI or VGA it's multi-touch so it's got four touch points you can do all sorts of things at once and the emulator software this is actually sitting on top of tractors subtract is sitting underneath and we've made it multi-touch so the hardware itself retails for 2,500 bucks you get the hardware you get the software it's a lifetime license software alone is 499 so you can buy that alone comes in a box you can download it online as well the software and then I'll just give you this is this is the hardware it's a solid piece of touchscreen is all solid metal solid wood construction so you don't have to worry about beating it up it's quite having a weighs about 18 pounds comes with a rolly bag so you can take it on the plane all that sort of thing we spent a lot of time making it you know look like an old-school mixer no it's kind of that contrast from old school new school so that's the hardware now powering that is our software over here called emulator modular emulator modular is multi-touch midi controller for whatever software you want whether it's DJ software lighting software audio whatever you want i'll show you here right now we've got Ableton running underneath she's got Ableton running underneath and what I'll do is I'll just click over to ours you can't see Abel's in it's a it's a layer sitting on top and if I transparency you can actually see so we want to be able to see certain aspects of that so rather than something like 10 show seƱor lemur where you have to have a separate I iPad or whatever and you look over in your computer this one is all in front of you as a heads up display so say for example I want to see this part I just use this button here subtract button and now I've got a whole to what I need to see and now for example I want to stop play record so i go to buttons make my play button make my stop button now on page one we're gonna add some sliders if you want to have some volume control you can make a multi-touch now and the only reason we sell the hardware is because we found that in doing a lot of research with all the different hardware's that they just weren't accurate enough so when you went to to do a dog or whatever filter and then a play would do random things and so we decided let's just make our own hardware so that's what we did and it's perfect it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't make ghost touches it doesn't do random things that you don't want it to do now you can edit whatever page you want oh there's two two different pages so there's you could have ableton a tractor or Ableton it whatever you can have different different pages so that's it that's emulator modular
