CME have launched ASX for UF and VX series keyboards. The ASX is a DSP board which goes into the expansion slot of UF and VX series keyboards to provide a flexible synthesis engine, turning the CME MIDI controller keyboard into a stand-alone synthesizer.
The ASX does not rely on playback of sampled sounds but brings sufficient DSP power to run dedicated synth modelling plug-ins. Four plug-ins are included with the ASX, which can be dynamically loaded one at a time:
Minimax - a polyphonic replica of the analog synth legend
LightWave - a wavetable based virtual analog synth with plenty of modulation possibilities
B4000 organ - a precise model of the famous tonewheel organ and
Vocodizer - a complex vocoder which is controlled via a dedicated microphone input
Next to the microphone input, the ASX provides stereo line out, stereo headphone out and a USB port to connect to the ASX Editor Software. The Editor provides graphic interfaces to each plug-in and allows access to all settings of the plug-in. Sounds can be managed, exchanged via an online server and uploaded to the ASX hardware. Pricing and Availability:
Listed at $369 USD, the ASX should be shipping in November 2007.
