digital audio and synthesizer enhancements, a powerful suite of Voyetra(R)
music software, cables, and an instructional video tape to help get you
started.
So you don't have to settle for hardware that can only process digital audio
and you don't have to hassle with incompatible components from different
companies.
Easy to use, flexible, totally integrated and designed for musicians. Just
what you'd expect from the company that pioneered pro-audio hardware for the
PC platform... Turtle Beach.
Pinnacle Project Studio - the *right* choice!
With the price of PCs dropping and processor power rising, it's easy to see
why more and more musicians are setting up desktop music production systems
for their home studios. If you're considering a home studio, here are some
reasons why Pinnacle Project Studio (PPS) is the right choice:
* Multi-track digital audio cards will only record and play back digital
audio tracks. PPS includes a Kurzweil(TM) sampling synthesizer and
General MIDI module for adding up to 64 voices of high-quality MIDI
synthesis to your digital audio tracks. You can also download new
instrument sounds into the sampler from your hard drive, letting you
create songs that sound exactly the way you want.
* Portable digital recorders provide digital audio recording in a self-
contained unit and can't be used for anything else.
A PC enhanced with PPS turns into a powerful digital audio recording
system that can also be used for playing games, word processing, surfing
the Internet and more.
* It's easy to upgrade your PC studio's performance - and these upgrades can
be used for more than just music. For instance, a removable drive can
back up your music as well as word processing files. A bigger monitor
will let you see more of your spreadsheet as well as more MIDI tracis.
So, if you want to make great music with no hassles, Pinnacle Project Studio
gives you everything you need - digital audio, MIDI, sampling, a complete
suite of software and easy expansion. Which is why it's the best all-around
PC music solution you can buy!
