Emulator Modular 1.0 delivers powerful capabilities for music, pro audio, lighting and A/V professionals to customise multi-touch midi-controllers, allowing them to leverage an unprecedented degree of control and flexibility over settings and parameters. The new software can benefit anyone using MIDI-based software, including music producers, video editors, broadcasters, front of house operators, lighting designers, church AV installers and many others, says the company.
"Our newest software, Emulator Modular, has been in development since early 2010 and is a game changer with applications that touch the MI, pro audio, lighting and A/V businesses," commented Alan Smithson, CEO of SmithsonMartin.
"While our goal was originally to provide DJ's with software enabling them to fully customise touch controllers, we asked ourselves, 'Why stop with DJs'?' So we continued our work and made a groundbreaking platform that is applicable to all facets of the music and lighting industry. The Emulator Modular software now allows our users to add multi-touch layouts to virtually any MIDI software."
"Emulator Modular works strictly on intuitive touch patterns, without requiring gestures," commented Pablo Martin, CTO of SmithsonMartin. "We designed Modular to be simple to use so anyone from any background can figure it out, and it works with any software. People in the music production side might require different items and layout types than DJ's or Lighting professionals. Emulator Modular was designed with live performance in mind and its use of animated GIFs and transparent PNG images as buttons make it highly customizable."
