新华网1月26日电 据科技博客Gizmodo文章,价格低廉的便携式电子音乐设备通常缺少亮点,而Arturia公司的新产品Beatstep既是一个软件控制器,又是一个多功能的音序器,而且其体积小巧,可以放进背包随身携带,售价为125美元。
Beatstep设备有两种不同的模式。在MIDI模式下,它可以对软件中的音乐进行剪辑。另外,Beatstep可以用作模拟步进音序器。在另一种模式下,它有MIDI、USB和CV连接功能,因此,可以完成电脑、平板电脑和模拟合成器之间的传输任务。

Beatstep Is a MIDI Controller and Step Sequencer in One Tiny Package
Inexpensive, portable hardware for electronic music usually comes short on the features. Arturia's new Beatstep is remarkable because manages to put both a software controller and an versatile sequencer in one portable package, all for $125.
Beatstep has two distinct modes on a single tiny piece of hardware. In MIDI mode the 16 pads can be used to trigger clips in software like Ableton Live. Alternatively, Beatstep can be used as an analog step sequencer for generating baselines, beats or backing tracks. In the later mode, it's got MIDI, USB, and CV connectivity so you you can use it with everything from your computer to your iPad to your analog synthesizer rig.
