Analog Experience THE FACTORY now shipping
Analog Experience THE FACTORY is the redesigned and enhanced version of “Analog Factory Experience”. By combining a native software application and a dedicated controller keyboard, it offers a simple, rich and exciting experience. Musicians just need to plug the keyboard via USB and launch the software. From there they can put their mouse away; everything is easily controllable from the keyboard. As a matter of fact, the user experience is the same as on a traditional Hardware synthesizer, except that Analog Experience THE FACTORY brings many more sounds (3500 high quality synthesizer sounds), a better integration within DAW’s, and all this at a price that is hard to beat. Analog Experience THE FACTORY includes a high quality 32-key keyboard controller, with
premium key-action, channel aftertouch and an aluminum frame that is bristling with controls. Combined to the new MIDI Control Center application, THE FACTORY is child’s play to use with any third-party software or hardware instrument.

GForce Imposcar2 hardware controller – part 3
And there it is! Mario has just finished his fantastic impOSCar 2 Controller “Keyboard Version”. Comment of Chris Mcleod from GForce was: “Stunning!” And yes, we totally agree. This machine looks so cool that you would love to take it and go and play with it. Earlier Mario mentioned the controller would maybe go up for auction or people could make a bid for it, … but this thing took up so much time and money in parts that he is just as happy to just keep it for himself. (And who could blame him for that?) But then again…. for the right offer?
