Technology
Through its
intuitive and innovative user interface, the new Promega2 brings you the power
and flexibility of GEM's DRAKE (Dsp-Risc-Advanced-Keyboard-Engine) technology,
as already featured in the Promega3: the reference standard in the professional
digital piano field. Thanks to DRAKE, one of the most advanced dedicated musical
DSPs in the world, GEM has been able to implement complex sound generation
algorithms in this instrument like the real-time manipulation of physical
models.
Control
The Promega2 has the same innovative user
interface already applauded by many of the world's top professional keyboardists
from the Promega3, offering the type of simple and logical panel layout found in
many renowned vintage instruments, where every function was controlled by a
single dedicated button or knob. Thus the Promega2's vast array of dedicated
controls: 4 faders, 5 virtual pots, 6 separate LCD displays and 4 EQ-bars ,
offering instant access and total control over every feature.
Realtime physical modelling
The Promega2 offers 3 completely
independent sound generating sections: pianos, vintage keys and bass/orchestra,
for a total of 45 sounds with 160 voices of polyphony. The PCM sound database
(64MB) contains a number of stunningly realistic acoustic piano samples
including the astonishing Fazioli F308, while the real-time physical modeling
system reproduces classic electro mechanical instruments like Rhodes, Wurlitzer
and Clavinet with a degree of realism never before experienced in a digital
instrument.
Physical models and effects
All of the acoustic
piano sounds incorporate GEM's patented physical modeling algorithms like damper
physical model, natural string resonance, advanced release technology and FADE
(Filter Algorithm Dynamic Emulation). Plus, the sound of each section can be
further enhanced with the internal DSP effects, offering 15 different reverbs
and 15 different Pro-FX; all completely programmable and with independent sends
from each section. At the final output stage is a programmable 4-band digital
EQ, allowing you to tailor the overall sound of the Promega2 to suit your
personal taste.
Presets and Master functions
With the Promega2
you can program up to 64 presets which allow you to instantly recall any
combination of sounds, levels, effect and control settings, while the pitch and
modulation wheels offer an impressive array of MIDI control functions, making
the Promega2 a powerful and efficient MIDI controller keyboard.
Connections
The Promega2 offers both balanced and unbalanced
audio connections for optimum flexibility in any performance environment, live
or studio.
