稱開放架構的 keyboard

>>>看不出來用的操作系統是什麼，似乎可以是 Window XP 或 Linux。

展示畫面上跑的軟體是 Live，而 Live 目前只有 Mac 跟 PC 版，OpenLab 又看不到支援 Mac 的標誌.....嗯，結論是由軟體下方的藍條看來是 Windows 的 XP ....

看起來蠻模組化的，每一個部分都可以拆換的感覺.....不過硬體 Open，只怕穩定性會像 PC.........

不過最好前面再加上投影機，這樣一台放在房間裡對著空白牆壁加個喇吧就可以當工作室

Check this out! 號稱開放架構的 keyboard 終於來了。idea 很不錯，不過外觀有點拼裝貨的感覺。看不出來用的操作系統是什麼，似乎可以是 Window XP 或 Linux。最好不要是一般的電腦操作系統，不然連 keyboard 也會常當機的時代來臨是有點不太妙。

Open Labs Debuts eKo Open Platform Keyboard Workstation

Open Labs announced today at the 2003 Winter NAMM Convention eKo, the world's first open platform musical keyboard workstation and the OpenSynth hardware and software reference platform.

eKo is designed to bridge the gap between the personal computer and traditional music keyboard workstations by providing VST plugins, VSTi virtual instruments, and other software applications a physical reference keyboard for use by the performance artist. eKo is based on Open Lab's OpenSynth reference platform, which are open to all hardware and software developers.

The OpenSynth reference platform incorporates commercially available operating systems such as Windows XP and Linux, and standard personal computer hardware into a standard that will allow developers to successfully produce musical products that will consistently work properly with one another.

"We believe eKo could become the ultimate performance and studio instrument because it combines the power and flexibility of a personal computer with traditional electronic keyboards to form an entirely new class of powerful musical instruments," said Victor Wong, CEO of Open Labs.

"eKo is the next logical next step in the evolution of musical instruments," said Craig Negoescu, Chief Architect of Open Labs. Over the past few years there has been a plethora of new and powerful VST and VSTi plug ins, but no real way to use them in a keyboard. eKo was designed to be that keyboard."

Specific features of eKo includes the following:

* All in One: eKo's all in one design eliminates the clutter and confusion of traditional desktop computer systems so you can focus on what really matters...the music.
* User Friendly: eKo enables the musician to change settings and access programs through an easy interface that shields them from the complexities of the operating system.
* Power to Rock: eKo can accommodate the fastest processors available, and more RAM and storage than any other music workstation.
* Low Latency: eKo has near-zero latency even under high processor loads.
* Instant On: Unlike traditional computers that may take minutes to start up, eKo utilizes a unique process that allows the keyboard to start up in seconds.
* Interchangeable Control Modules: eKo's interchangeable control modules provide a physical interface for easier control of software instruments and are designed to support virtually any future control options.
* Music Non Stop: eKo includes integrated power management that combats power spikes and operates during power interruptions.
* Surfboard: eKo allows the musician to directly access the Internet, to quickly and easily download upgrades, sounds and applications.
* Complete Portable Studio: eKo is a self-contained recording, editing and mastering system that's perfect for the studio or stage.
* Have it Your Way: With Open Labs' BYOK (Build-Your-Own-Keyboard) ordering system, you can have the exact eKo that you want, when you want it, with the ability to upgrade at any time.

List prices for the standard model configurations are expected to range between $1,995 and $5,200. Product shipments are set for second quarter 2003.

哇!!! 不知道是使用什麼樣的作業系統...能夠自行開發的軟硬體架構, 那不活像個實驗室嗎?!...果真如其名...(open lab), 真希望有機會能夠摸看看!!! (@o@)

真是一臺怪物......回想以前YAMAHA DX 7時代要編一首曲子要有琴,音源鼓,編輯器,效果器還要一台盤帶錄音機才能錄一首歌...那時想說為何不能有一台琴包含所有的機器,後來過了不久KORG M1上市也成為一個熱門機種現在音樂製作過程大家為了使用硬體與軟體在觀望使用真希望這個產品能夠成功

看樣子應該不輕 , 不知硬碟是否會在搬運時受損 , 而且重量應該不輕 , 不過值得等待
