Open Labs Inc DBEAT-PRO

DBeat is the first professional studio that you can play as a musical instrument. Compose, record, mix and master, all "in-the-box," then use it to perform any way you like. Weighing less than 20 lbs, DBeat can be carried onto most airplanes.

A studio powerhouse. DBeat is where power and portability meet. Capable of running virtually any Windows XP-based music application or Digital Audio Workstation software (DAW), DBeat is your computer, mixer, MPC, virtual instrument (VST) host and mastering station. It will even burn your CDs or DVDs and distribute your music online.

A VST hardware brain. DBeat is the perfect companion for traditional electronic keyboard players, and a simple solution for playing your favorite VSTs on stage with rock solid stability. Run more than 200 standard VSTs at once using Open Labs' critically acclaimed RiFF virtual instrument host, which is integrated into each DBeat.

Revolutionary features - such as a 12.1" touch screen that allows you to create on-the-fly set lists comprised of songs and virtual controls - bring your virtual instrument to life. Physical controls, such as nine assignable faders, are perfectly matched for those that require drawbar controls for organ instruments.

And let's not forget that DBeat comes standard with a plethora of sounds, making it the world's most well-stocked hardware sound module. If that's not enough, every DBeat is capable of cloning your favorite virtual instruments. By using Open Labs' MimiK keyboard cloning software (included in DBeat Pro), you can even clone any hardware keyboard workstation, synthesizer or sound module.

A producer's dream. DBeat is the ultimate tool for any producer, regardless of genre. Massive processing power, instant multi-track recording, integrated MPC functionality, a multi-card reader/writer and DVD burner, Internet connectivity, plug-and-play ability with third party keyboard controllers and the opportunity to produce more than 4 billion sounds are just a few features we've perfected with producers in mind. DBeat allows you to compose more music, produce better songs, be more creative, and make more money.

The first real DJ instrument. DBeat lets you elevate yourself to the next level as a DJ. Produce, remix and perform in ways you've only dreamed about. Consolidate your laptop computer, controllers, audio I/O, and cabling into a single portable instrument that you can literally set up in 30 seconds.

DBeat lets you plug in your turntables via Serato Scratch or other time-code vinyl solutions to beat, mix and scratch. But that's only the start. The audio chain can then be routed into Ableton LIVE, allowing you to use the built-in effects or any other VSTs in real-time, on the fly. Cue points, single hits or drops can be assigned to the Bump MP drum pad controller, allowing you to play along with the track you're spinning. You can even plug in microphones, run Auto-Tune and vocoder vocal effects, and mix them right into the tracks.
