20.Oct.09 Open Labs D Beat: how much can you pack in one device?
- 29 knobs, 17 pads, 11 faders, over 20 buttons
- a built in touch screen with multi-touch functionality
- a built in Presonus Fire Box 410
- multiple video and audio outs
- a dual layer DVD burner
- memory card reader
- firewire, usb and ethernet connections
- an iPod dock
- a core 2 duo 3.0ghz processor
- 4 gigs of ram
- a 320 gig, 7200 rpm hard drive
- and a number of other features and software somehow crammed into a single 20 lb workstation measuring only 26 inches long!
Entry level price tag: $2,999. That’s a lot of money but the number of features are mind boggling. Not sure if this would be a device I would personally use myself but it sure is tempting… Scope this video and if you want to check out some more information on the D Beat, be sure to view the Open Labs website.
