Notes: Unassuming looks conceal the excellent EaganMatrix sound engine, offering USB-powered synth creativity perfectly matched to Haken's own Warbl Wind Controller but also compatible with MIDI and MPE.
Supplier's Notes:
EaganMatrix Micro
The power of EaganMatrix Sound Technology in Haken's smallest product ever! The EaganMatrix Micro is a full-featured EaganMatrix sound engine in a small self-contained form factor, and is powered and controlled via USB.
The EaganMatrix Micro provides a truly versatile framework for both studio and live performance, with a robust implementation of MPE and MPE+ Midi.
The EaganMatrix Micro is a perfect companion to the amazing Warbl Wind Controller.
The fingering holes on the Warbl are not just switches. You can hear that the pitch starts off a bit as the finger gets close to the hole (like it would on an acoustic wind instrument) and hits the final pitch once the hole is covered. It's a subtle effect but important. The following video shows 15 Presets from the Micro's demo assortment that Edmund Eagan skillfully customized to take advantage of the Warbl's specific sensing technology. In the future there may be demo assortments customized for the sensing technologies of other devices.
Hundreds of System Presets are included with the EaganMatrix Micro. An external cross-platform (Mac and PC) Haken Editor may be connected to modify and customize the supplied EaganMatrix System Presets, or create completely new presets from scratch.
The EaganMatrix Sound Technology, originally created for the highly sensitive Continuum, is now available to you in this compact form factor.
