MIDI
INFO:
Clevinger has the only playable MIDI interface for bass in the
world! The tracking is immediate with no delay.
Why MIDI? Musical Instrument
Digital Interface enables your instrument to: Sound like any
instrument of the orchestra, or even instruments form other
planets! Control samplers, synths, effects devices & sound
libraries. Communicate with any MIDI device, such as a
keyboard, rack module, your computer or digital studio, even
play on the Internet! Create an entire musical production
using just your bass with a MIDI studio. Now, your bass can
talk to your computer, using the wide range of music
transcription software to produce professional quality sheet
music.
Improvements in MIDI
detection make it possible to track bass notes. The Axon AX
100 SB is our MIDI interface of choice and is available in a
package with our 6 string CLEVINGER IMPERION, or any Clevinger
model of your choice. If you already own a Roland or Yamaha
interface, you too may use our MIDI Clevinger Imperion as a
better controller.
The RMC Polyphonic Pizz Arco
Bridge was specially designed for Clevinger. This digital
ready bridge pickup system is precision engineered to
aerospace tolerances. It's space age composite material yields
optimal MIDI signals and amazingly clear full analog tone,
bowed or plucked. The onboard Poly Drive I circuitry gives the
best analog tone and MIDI capability.
Assuming you are already
familiar with the scope of live performance and studio options
that MIDI opens up to the bassist and not been sold on MIDI.
Perhaps you've already seen a guitarist sound like a Hammond
B3 and were shocked by this. Maybe you have decided MIDI is
not for you. Please consider the following:
As and instructional tool for
learning good intonation, there is simply no better means. The
bassist is now able to essentially play a duet with him or
herself. Your playing partner, the MIDI device, has impeccable
intonation (with pitch bend setting OFF). You may now adjust
the volume mix between yourself and your MIDI
"partner's" voice, and as you gain confidence, you
can increase your own volume, The results of this type of
practice are astounding. Even a veteran player will be made
aware of his or her intonation problems.
INVISIBLE FRETS: Precision
bass? For the first time, the double bassist can play
absolutely in tune even if the bassist can't hear the
instrument. This is achieved by using the MIDI voice with the
chromatic setting (pitch bend OFF). It's like having INVISIBLE
FRETS.
