Alesis IO Control Details
The compact Alesis io|Control merges a practical and expandable audio interface with implementation of the most commonly used control surface features. The io|Control allows for up to 12 channels of simultaneous input straight to your computer via an integrated, low-latency FireWire interface. Audio inputs include four built-in analog ins (2 XLR, 2 balanced 1/4" line), as well as eight inputs of digital audio (ADAT). Features such as a jog wheel, six assignable buttons, and three layers of four 360-degree knobs allow the io|Control to function as a fully featured control surface.
An effective interface
The io|Control features four built-in audio inputs (2 XLR preamp inputs and 2 balanced 1/4" line inputs) for four channels of 24Bit/96kHz simultaneous audio recording, giving you a very clean-sounding interface for DAW recording. Combine the audio with 10 MIDI channel capability, and you've got up to 14 possible channels of simultaneous input to your computer via the low-latency FireWire interface.
Compact control surface
With quick control over the most common Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) commands, the lightweight but rugged io|Control gives you a practical control surface that's intuitive to use. The unit's jog wheel can be used to shuttle, zoom and enter data, while six fully assignable buttons provide different functions for setting knobs, the io|Control offers immediate control of up to 12 parameters, such as volume, pan and aux sends. A built-in transport control allows analog-style commands to your DAW "deck," and 20 recallable presets are a real time saver for maintaining the settings you prefer.
Cubase LE included
Compatible with most DAW programs, the Alesis io|Control comes bundled with Cubase LE recording software, so you can start tracking as soon as you open the box! It's an amazingly flexible and powerful solution for your digital recording needs!
