Warm Audio WA-RA Reamper<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This power attenuator is a routing hub that connects guitar amps, pedals, synths and studio equipment. Thanks to the integrated power soak, it also lets you record tube amps up to 50 W (8 ohm impedance) silently without a speaker. External effects can also be added to the chain. Combine everything with anything and record it!<\/p>\n\n\n

Expressive E Osmose 49 CE and 61 CE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Expressive E has launched two new MPE controller keyboards, the Osmose 49 CE and Osmose 61 CE. If you\u2019re not familiar with MPE: thanks to multidimensional keys and individual MIDI channels, MIDI Polyphonic Expression lets you control parameters for each note independently using compatible software. Both keyboards, available with 49 or 61 keys, also support gesture control including tapping, pressing, pitch bend, vibrato, shaking, strumming and expressive note-off. They also feature an MPE arpeggiator, a 4.3-inch colour display and several knobs and buttons. For anyone who loves expressive playing!<\/p>\n\n\n
