Live 7
Recommended for Middle School-College
Ableton Live 7 is your companion
during every stage of the musical process, from creation to production
to performance. Live offers two main views—the Session View and the
Arrangement View—that interact in a powerful and unique way,
allowing you to create, produce and perform your music all in a single
application. Live's unique
Session View acts as a powerful musical sketch and launch pad,
allowing you to try out new ideas easily and improvise freely. Each
cell in the Session View grid can hold a recording, MIDI file, or any
other musical idea. These ideas can be recorded on the fly or dragged
in from the Browser and played in any order and at any time you
wish.The Arrangement View offers a timeline-based approach for
traditional multitrack recording, MIDI sequencing and other music
production tasks. You can even improvise in the Session View, and all
of your actions will be recorded into the Arrangement View, where they
can be edited whenever you like.
Live 7 Features:
- Multitrack recording up to
32-bit/192kHz

with unlimited undo

sequencing of software and hardware instruments

either. Just turn it on and go. With high-performance stereo
speakers, stereo microphone, and CD drive built in, the CD-2e is
ready for action right out of the box.
Take it Anywhere Portability is a
key advantage of the CD-2e. Weighing in at less than 1.1 kg (2 lbs 6
oz), it’s lighter than most laptop computers. It’s also slim and
trim, at less than 50 mm (2 inches) thick. You can use the CD-2e
anywhere since it can run off six AA batteries; for those who prefer
to plug in, an AC adaptor is supplied.
Ideal for Music Study The CD-2e is
a great tool for music students, as it allows you to hear and
analyze your performances with clean, clear detail. There are
several playback modes available, including the ability to change
the pitch, key and tempo of playback. A metronome function is
provided as well.

speakers

writing and reading.
Optional Accessories:
CS-15R
High-Quality Stereo Microphone (coming in April)
For serious field recording, the
optional CS-15R cardioid-type stereo microphone is a great match for
the CD-2e. For portability and convenience, the CD-2e supplies the
power to the mic. Bundled with the microphone are a desktop stand, a
hand-held mount, and a windscreen.
CB-CD2e
Carry Bag (coming in March)
Transport your Roland
CD-2e in style with the CB-CD2e travel case, custom-designed for the
CD-2e SD/CD Recorder. This padded gig bag provides protection

PSD 340
Recommended for All Levels
The Superscope PSD340 is the world’s
first CD Recording system for the performing arts that combines a
professional CD-R/RW recorder with a CD-R/RW player featuring
innovative CD manipulation controls. This portable stand-alone system
is designed specifically as a valuable portable music rehearsal and
performance tool. In addition to its recording drive, the unit’s CD
player features the same performing arts controls found on the popular
Superscope PSD230 portable CD player. These special controls allow
musicians to practice with their favorite artist or a specialized
music accompaniment CD and manipulate the key or tempo of that music
on the fly.
Use this portable system to:
-
Record live direct to blank CD-R
(write once) or CD-RW (rewriteable) discs.
-
Plug microphones directly into the unit for stereo recording without
the need for a separate mic preamp and mixer. Or use the built-in
microphone.
-
Play any music CD and manipulate the key and tempo, create practice
loops, or reduce lead vocal tracks all on the fly.
-
Plug instruments or microphones into the PSD300 and mix a live
musicians with music CD accompaniment (taking advantage of innovative
CD manipulation controls).
-
Record the mix to the CD-R/RW drive
-
Duplicate CDs at 2X speed.
-
Convert a CD to half speed as a duplication option. Each note will be
exactly one octave lower, at half the speed. A great tool for music
transcribers.
-
The PSD 340 has
built in phantom power, reverb and delay effects, metronome, tuner, much
improved tempo and key manipulation, able to play MP3’s, vocal
removal and instant record.
