How does it integrate into my studio?
The Chameleon is a stand alone rack unit, that you can integrate exactly the same way as you would any other rack unit, FX or synth. you plug in the audio ins and outs into your desk, the MIDI to your sequencer, and off you go. It even comes ready loaded with the analog synth skin Australis so it will work straight out of the box.
So do I need a computer to use it?
No. The Chameleon is a totally functioning rack unit without a computer, just like most synths or other FX hardware. To change skin you simply play a midi file over to it. This means it can be used only with hardware sequencer set ups and drum machines just as easily as with computer sequencer set ups. It really is just like taking your favourite synth and zapping it with some MIDI and it becomes an FX unit instead.
Can it run more than one skin at a time?
The Chameleon skins load one at a time, to allow them to use all the resources of the unit to the maximum potential.
How long does it take for an skin to load?
It typically only takes around one minute or so to load a soundskin. Some skins are more complex, and are larger files, and so can take a little longer. just enough time to go to the toilet
.
The speed also depends on your sequencers tempo as it plays the MIDI file. While testing we switch between skins all the time, and have run sequencers at up to 250 bpm, loading skins without problems very quickly, often under a minute. We cannot say exactly, because the maximum speed will depend on your MIDI interface and specific set up.
die 1 augustus uitkomt.
goed bezig, die mensen bij soundart !
Dat duurt nog wel heel erg lang, om in ieder geval al te pre-orderen.
