It appears that Victor Wong has a venture. I can only imagine!

Music Computing Launches Ten New Products

 

Includes: Large Format Multi-Touch Screen Controllers, MacBook® Music Production Station Docks

and Keyboard Production Stations at Unbelievable Prices and Performance

 

Austin, Texas October 5, 2010 Music Computing, announced today it will roll-out the new company in a special *Live*

broadcast October 20, 2010 (12:00pm CST) at http://www.MusicComputing.com, where it will showcase eight (8) new

hardware and two (2) new software products.

 

Building upon years of experience in producing world-renown computer-enhanced musical instruments, Music Computing

products represent a new beginning and a quantum leap in design, price and performance.

 

The companys goal is to invent new technologies and integrate them with proven standards to create the best possible

instruments for todays musicians. Most of its products are cross-platform in nature and will work within the Microsoft

Windows or Mac OS operating systems, allowing more flexibility than ever.

 

Leading off the roll-out event are all-in-one keyboard production stations that will be the most powerful available, but

priced at keyboard workstation prices. Keyboard production stations can be loosely defined as keyboard workstations

that are connected to a computer, which is needed to provide additional processing power and features. While keyboard

workstations are suited for live performance and sketching out ideas for a song, keyboard production stations, with built in

high-power computer cores, allow users to go from composition to recording to mixing and finally mastering of songs that

are ready for radio or direct Internet distribution.

 

Up next will be laptop keyboard production station docks. With the emergence of high-power laptops, it is now possible to

utilize them for professional music production. The new laptop keyboard production station docks, the first of its kind, are

mainly designed for Apples MacBook Pro series laptops, but will work with virtually any laptop sized 13 to 17 in diameter,

turning them instantly into full-blown professional keyboard production stations.

 

Third will be the companys new line of large format multi-touch screen controllers. There will be two versions, one

driven by a HD video projector designed for live performance that is transparent on both sides and one driven by a HD

LED television for studio use. Standard sizes offered are 32 and 42 but the company can produce special order versions

up to 250 in diameter. Allowing for multi-touch and instant visual feedback, these controllers are compatible with both

Windows and Mac OS and are constructed to the highest professional quality, yet affordably priced. Options include multi-

touch screen controllers integrated into a control console complete with Music Computings computer DAW (digital audio

workstation) computer core and audio interface, ready to be used with virtually any software to compose, record and

produce music in any home or professional studio.

 

We dissected everything down to the smallest possible particles and then redesigned it all, states Victor Wong,

CEO, what we have created can only be described as a quantum leap in music instrument technology.

 

In addition to the products detailed within this press release, there will be several more surprises. Complete information

and demonstrations of all 10 products will be featured at the *Live* Broadcast as well as a full press release issued on that

same day.
