TECHNOLOGY
The professional
digital piano PRO MEGA3 is the first application
of DRAKE proprietary technology. DRAKE
(Dsp-Risk-Advanced-Keyboard-Engine)
is the ultimate DSP: probably the most advanced in
music software in the world. Its 32-bit and 50-Mips
internal structure and its totally programmable
software architecture, make this processor so powerful
and fast that any kind of algorhythm (from Wave Table
to Physical Modelling) can be implemented in real
time, either in generation or in post-processing.
CONTROL
Such
extraordinary technology brings PRO MEGA3 to
extraordinary achievements in poliphony, sound generation,
sound quality and user interface. The very concept
at the basis of the project is to unite supreme performance
in an easy-to-operate machine. PRO MEGA3 user interface
takes its inspiration from celebrated “Vintage” instruments
whose single functions were controlled by a single
slider or key. That clearly explains why the 5
moving faders, the 6 Virtual-Pots (Virtual
Potentiometers), the 7 LCD’s and 8 EQ-bars
make it so easy to keep the overall operation under
control: the “real” status can be updated or restored
at any time by recalling a Preset.
GENERATION:
PHYSICAL MODELLING IN REALTIME
4
completely independent and mixable sections offer
the first truly multisynthesis generation available
on an instrument of this class (Pianos, Vintage
Keys, Orchestra/Pads, Bass/Other).
Up to 128 Mb of stereo samples can be stored
to PRO MEGA3 memory to provide a database of PCM Sounds.
The authentic revolution consists
of the implementation of the sound generation by physical
models, in real time. In other words, it is possible
to reproduce electric piano sounds such as Rhodes™,
Wurlitzer™ or Clavinet™ with an astonishingly
faithful result.
Every action or electric feature in the model can
be emulated (such as the weight or mass of the tone
bars in the Rhodes™, or the weight and size of its
hammer).
Physical data, like distance and speed, can be defined
with extreme precision using new-concept algorhythms
developed in collaboration with the University of
Padua. DRAKE’s extraordinary power and
calculating speed then process data to real-time application,
articulating the poliphony to each section and achieving
320 note overall poliphony.
EFFECTS
The
sound generation is then integrated with a mighty
post-processing section, where the already famous
GEM-conceived sound processing algorhythms (such as
Damper Physical Modelling, Natural String
Resonance and Advanced Release Technology)
have been perfected and enriched by a 15 Reverb
+ 15 Effect section, equalized by a fully programmable
8-band digital graphic EQ.
CONNECTIONS
AND MASTER FUNCTIONS
Up to
64 presets can be easily created and recalled from
the instrument memory. The on-board aftertouch control
and Pitch bend and Modulation wheels offer the features
of higly evolved Master Keyboard. A complete series
of balanced and unbalanced connections make the instrument
as versatile as possible in any professional situation.
Whether in a recording studio or on a stage, the dynamic
and sound performance will never be less than the
maximum, so that you can always express yourself at
the top of your artistic potential.
