MIDIfy Your Guitar! With the AXON AX 100 MKII, the technical problems involved in connecting electric or acoustic guitars and basses to the MIDIfied studio world are finally a thing of the past. The ultra-fast AX 100 MKII guitar-to-MIDI controller in a single-unit rack mount has an early-recognition system which evaluates the impulses from the strings as soon as they are picked and converts them into values for pitch, dynamics and length. A 32-bit RISC processor makes this possible, opening up a whole new world real-time performance options to the guitarist. AXON AX 100 MKII Guitar-to-MIDI Controller at a Glance: 500 internal sounds plus control of outboard modules Instantly converts picking to pitch, dynamics, and duration New computer interface for programming ease 128-voice polyphony for huge layered sounds Integrated arpeggiator 500 internal sounds plus control of outboard modules Never again will you have to change guitars to produce a different sound - just switch the MIDI channel. On the AXON AX100 MKII, you can either choose from over 500 internal sounds, 10 drum kits and an SFX kit or trigger external sound devices such as samplers and synthesizers. Then, depending on the sound generator you are using, a guitar can become a synthesizer, an electric piano or a saxophone. Everything is possible - even at the same time. With the 12 play area zones, the AXON AX 100 MKII even makes your guitar multitimbral - you can play different instruments by splitting the fretboard, strings or pick position! Instantly converts picking to pitch, dynamics, and duration Housed in a 1U rackmount chassis, the ultra-fast AX 100 MKII guitar-to-MIDI controller sports an early recognition system that analyzes impulses as the string is struck, and converts data determining pitch, dynamics and duration without loss. A powerful 32-bit RISC processor does this in real time, thereby affording guitarists access to the possibilities of MIDI. New computer interface for programming ease Alongside substantial mechanical improvements, the new AXON 100 MK II offers a user-friendly computer interface. This fully-featured editor enables users to conveniently carry out all functions. It has never been so easy to grasp at a glance the complexity of AXON's algorithms. The AXON soundboard is another compelling new feature. A custom development by TerraTec, it boasts more than 500 new sample layer sounds, including 10 powerful drum kits and an SFX kit. Of course, all sounds are both GM and XG-sound compatible. 128-voice polyphony for huge layered sounds Painstakingly sound-designed for professional use, the AXON 100 MKII offers 128 voices and thus plenty of polyphonic power for even very large program layers. What's more, TerraTec Producer has added another goodie to the package - a promo DVD bursting with example sounds and a demo show featuring New York's Burr Johnson. Integrated arpeggiator The integrated Arpeggiator endows the device's sonic arsenal with another powerful sound-sculpting feature, and optional pedals and switches may be connected to add effects and extend the tonal palette even further. With all that, AXON AX 100 MK II brings unprecedented sound-shaping versatility to guitarists and bassists. Anything is possible - even the simultaneous playing of several instruments. AXON AX 100 MK II lets players turn the guitar into a multitimbral tool by splitting the fretboard, strings and attack position up into 12 zones to actually play different instruments at the same time. AXON AX 100 MKII Guitar-to-MIDI Controller Features: Extremely fast guitar-to-MIDI controller featuring an impulse early recognition system Suitable for electric basses and guitars, and acoustic guitars Automatic pick position recognition Built-in 128-voice polyphonic Soundboard More than 500 premium-quality sounds (GM and XG-sound compatible) 10 drum kits and an SFX kit 12 playing zones 256 presets (128 free programmable) 32bit-RISC processor Tuner Arpeggiator Open up a world of new sound options with the AXON AX 100 MKII! Customer Reviews  This is the Holy Grail   by Chris from WA, February 29, 2008 Music Background:  Recording Enthusiast “I've been tinkering with midi guitar for a few years now and have frankly been frustrated by every other converter out there which have only been good enough for programming midi tracks rather than live playing. The AXON 100 mk II has changed all that. This thing is the real deal. The latency is incredible low and the thing tracks amazingly. It is very very expressive and what you'd dream a midi...” Read More • Click Here to Read More Customer Reviews • Write Your Own Review Sweetwater Expert Advice     "For guitar playing synth enthusiasts, this unit is a must. The tracking is superb. The variety of splits available is mind boggling. The ability to send Continuous Controller messages based on where you are picking is extraordinarily expressive. If you want total control of your guitar synth rig, this is your solution."
