Using ProKeys Sono as a MIDI Controller
ProKeys Sono can also double as a great MIDI controller. Both the 61 and 88 models feature an assignable knob, pedal input and modulation wheel. These controls can be mapped to send MIDI messages to hardware and software devices. You can even assign ProKeys Sono to be the audio interface and MIDI control device. This allows you to perform and record using nothing more than ProKeys Sono and a laptop. Example: You can use ProKeys Sono to control virtual instruments, MIDI tracks and plug-ins in the included Ableton Live Lite software. First, open Live Lite and make sure ProKeys Sono is selected as the default audio and MIDI I/O device (be sure to turnthe Remote tab on). Now create a MIDI track and load a virtual instrument plug-in. By right-clicking on the virtual instrument and choosing Edit MIDI Map, you can assign ProKeys Sono?s voice volume knob, modulation wheel and pedal input to any parameter you want. The sturdy, high-quality velocity-sensitive keys are great for playing virtual instruments?offering a higher level of playability than most standard MIDI controllers
Recording a Live Performance
If you are playing a gig with ProKeys Sono and a laptop, you can easily record your live performance. Load up your backing tracks in Ableton Live Lite (or another DAW), and create two audio tracks for ProKeys Sono inputs 1 and 2. You can also create a MIDI track and capture the raw MIDI data generated during your performance. Make sure that inputs 1, 2 and the MIDI track are set to record, and play along with your backing tracks. After the gig is over, you?ll have the entire performance recorded?along with raw MIDI data that you can edit later. With ProKeys Sono, you?ll always be able to capture the unexpected improvisations that happen when playing live.
