Promega 2
Technology
Through its intuitive and innovative user interface, the new
Promega2 brings you the power and flexibility of GEM's DRAKE
(Dsp-Risc-Advanced-Keyboard-Engine) technology, as already
featured in the Promega3: the reference standard in the
professional digital piano field. Thanks to DRAKE, one of the
most advanced dedicated musical DSPs in the world, GEM has been
able to implement complex sound generation algorithms in this
instrument like the real-time manipulation of physical models.
Control
The Promega2 has the same innovative user interface already
applauded by many of the world's top professional keyboardists
from the Promega3, offering the type of simple and logical panel
layout found in many renowned vintage instruments, where every
function was controlled by a single dedicated button or knob.
Thus the Promega2's vast array of dedicated controls: 4 faders,
5 virtual pots, 6 separate LCD displays and 4 EQ-bars , offering
instant access and total control over every feature.
Real-time physical modeling
The Promega2 offers 3 completely independent sound generating
sections: pianos, vintage keys and bass/orchestra, for a total
of 45 sounds with 160 voices of polyphony. The PCM sound
database (64MB) contains a number of stunningly realistic
acoustic piano samples including the astonishing Fazioli F308,
while the real-time physical modeling system reproduces classic
electro mechanical instruments like Rhodes, Wurlitzer and
Clavinet with a degree of realism never before experienced in a
digital instrument.
Physical models and effects
All of the acoustic piano sounds incorporate GEM's patented
physical modeling algorithms like damper physical model, natural
string resonance, advanced release technology and FADE (Filter
Algorithm Dynamic Emulation). Plus, the sound of each section
can be further enhanced with the internal DSP effects, offering
15 different reverbs and 15 different Pro-FX; all completely
programmable and with independent sends from each section. At
the final output stage is a programmable 4-band digital EQ,
allowing you to tailor the overall sound of the Promega2 to suit
your personal taste.
Presets and Master functions
With the Promega2 you can program up to 64 presets which allow
you to instantly recall any combination of sounds, levels,
effect and control settings, while the pitch and modulation
wheels offer an impressive array of MIDI control functions,
making the Promega2 a powerful and efficient MIDI controller
keyboard.
Connections
The Promega2 offers both balanced and unbalanced audio
connections for optimum flexibility in any performance
environment, live or studio. |
