The meticulously
accurate re-creation of
a rock monster. Introduced in 1961, it
still looks modern today. The SG addressed
2 issues players had with the Les Paul: The SGs body
was dramatically lighter and it offered access to the entire fretboard. This
historically correct replica is equipped with a Maestro tailpiece, the fast 1960
slim-tapered neck, and raging BurstBucker pickups. A slightly aged finish and
hardware suggest a carefully preserved collectors axe. Choose faded cherry;
or add $400 for TV yellow or classic white finish.

Celebrating the axe that turned


the guitar world on its axis

60th Anniversary Telecaster


This is where it all began: In 1951, Leo
Fender released the Telecaster, the worlds
first commercially successful solidbody electric guitar. A
simple yet enormously useful design, it has been embraced by
guitarists from a wide range of musical genres. Just like the original, this blonde
beauty has the features that set the template for solidbody electric guitar design.
A single, solid plank of ash and the innovative one-piece bolt-on maple neck
provide the basis for the storied twangy sound. Add the dual vintage-voiced,
single-coil pickups with the treble pickup mounted on the bridge plate to further
characterize the Tele sound. Blackguard blonde finish. Includes Fender/SKB
hardshell case, cable, strap, and polishing cloth.

Hands-On Review

RP Multi-Effects on the iPad


Stream your multi-effects signal directly to the Apple iPad
By Jon Chappell, Senior Editor, Harmony Central

f youre used to thinking of DigiTech as a hardware company, its only natural.


After all, theyve been producing rugged, roadworthy stompboxes and multieffects processors that have been guitarists go-to gear on stages and in studios
for decades. But DigiTech isnt only about tank-like enclosures. They are as much
a player in the software arena as any maker of computer-based VST effects and
amp sims. Every generation of DigiTechs effects lines brings not just a new housing with state-of-the art switches and display technology, but the software to run
it. New DSP chips must have the best software running on them to complete the
technological picture. And DigiTech was an early adopter of USBalways supporting their units with online connectivity and excellent editor/librarian software.
So its not surprising that DigiTech has built iPad compatibility right into
their latest generation of RP multi-effects processors. The RP155, RP255, RP355,
RP500, RP1000, and the BP355 (for bass players) all stream high-definition audio
to the Apple iPad and iPad 2. All it takes is the included, standard USB cable and
the 30-pin connector from the iPad Camera Connection Kit ($29 from Apple).
Simply hook your USB cable to the connecter, plug that into the iPads data port,
and youre good to go. No audio cables necessary. You can listen from the iPads
internal speaker or through a set of headphones for better fidelity and isolation.

DigiTech, meet Apple

My test gear was a DigiTech RP500 and an original iPad. Before hooking up my
guitar, I made sure I had a recording program to capture my work. GarageBand
has been available for the iPad since March 2011, and its a perfect app for
musicians because it allows you to record instruments or microphones one at
a time, building your arrangements through overdubbing. Of course, you can
use any audio app that accepts USB/audio input. But for $4.99, GarageBand is
an excellent way to get a bunch of sounds and performances down right away.
The first thing I noticed was there was nothing to configure. The setup process
is completely instantaneous and transparent because DigiTech takes care of all the
handshaking automatically. Just by plugging the RP500 into the port, the iPad knows
youre giving it the input you want to record with. I simply started playing, immediately hearing my sounds directly from the RP500. You can also route the audio
from any of the RPs outputs (XLR and 1/4") to mixers, monitors, etc., as the USB/
audio is a two-way stream. After stepping through some choice presets, I was ready
to record. I loaded up a couple loops, created a guitar track, and began jamming.

Triple Rectifier). Provided youre using a good set of headphones, the sound is
big, smooth, and completely free of any tweazy-sounding digital artifactsartifacts that you hear in many consumer-level amp sim apps.

Keeping it real in real time

Keep in mind that while there are amp sims that will work with the iPad, you
dont get that RP tone, nor that realtime vibe and performance dynamic unless
youre physically using your RP multi-effects processor. With the RP500, and
others in that series, youre using the same controller on your iPad in a portable
setup that you would onstage. There are no translation issues, and this is especially true if you use the Expression Pedal, which is built in to most RP units.
Theres just no way to get a wah-wah part down correctly unless youre working
that treadle with your foot. Ditto for effects like the DigiTech Whammy and
volume-pedal manipulations, or any effects that use the onboard Expression
Pedal to intensify a single effect in real time or to blend two effects continuously. By using your RP in the sketchpad stage, the moves you created on the
iPad sketches will more efficiently transfer to the studio or stage.

Conclusion

The tablet is already recognized as an established media platform. With over 15


million iPads sold in 2010 alone, theres no question that mobile musicians and
media producers will be recording, performing, and writing on the iPad. Why
not make the transition from tablet to stage or studio that much easier? The
RP series provides a true, professional-level signal processor to meet the needs
of performing and recording guitarists and bass players. And now that you can
mate your RP to your iPad, you can enjoy the benefits of great guitar sound
and realtime performance in a sleek and stylish mobile recording environment.
For great guitar sound and the ability to hook directly into an Apple iPad, check

Tablet tone

The tone emanating from my iPad was full, rich, and dynamicin other words, everything Id come to know and expect
from my high-end computer DAW. The signal loses nothing
in the iPad format because the signal streams from the RP500
at better-than-CD sound: 24-bit audio at a 44.1kHz sample
rate. The processing power of the RP500 is evident whether
coming out of an iPad or an onstage 4x12 stack: the highdefinition amp and effect models are just as smooth and clear
when played back from the tracks of GarageBand. I laid down a
vintage-sounding scorching lead using a preset that included the
RP500ss Screamer distortion (based on the Ibanez TS-9) through an
800 JCM amp model (derived from an 83 Marshall JCM 800). For a more
modern, metal-based sound, I invoked the Redline (based on DigiTechs own
Redline Overdrive) and sent it through a TripRect amp (a nod to the 2004 Mesa

Recording Electric Bass 101


By Phil OKeefe, Associate Editor, Harmony Central

he importance of bass in modern recordings cant be


overstated. Bass players can achieve a surprising number of different sounds and timbres; everything from the
deep boom of a dub bass to the bright percussive attack of slap
bassthe instrument can cover so much sonic territory that its
impossible to provide the stylistic and tonal recipe for every
type of sound in a single article, but what we can do is cover the
basics to help you capture your sound.

Have a sound in mind

Decide first of all on the type of sound youre going for. The
sound starts at, and is only as good as, the source, so use a goodquality instrument that is properly intonated and set up. Use
fresh, roundwound strings if you want a bright, full-frequency
modern sound, and flatwounds if your tastes lean more toward
vintage Motown and 60s rock tones. Remember that different
bass models have very characteristic sounds; Rickenbacker, Hofner, Fender, and Gibson basses will all sound different, so if
youre looking for the sound of one particular model, the best
way to get it is to use that bass. Youll also want to use the
appropriate picking technique (pick, fingers, thumb, or slapping) and pickups and settings on the bass for the type of sound
youre after.

Recording: 4 main methods

There are four primary methods that are commonly used today
to capture the sound of the electric bass:
Direct (also known as DI or Direct Input)
Direct with amp simulation software or hardware
Miked bass amp
Various combinations of the above
Here are some details of each method:
Direct: If your recorder or computer audio interface has a Hi-Z (highimpedance) input, you can plug the output of your bass or effects pedals
directly into it and record direct with no additional hardware. If you dont
have a Hi-Z input, then you can use a Direct Box. These convert the bass
signals impedance so it can be recorded through a mic or line input on an
audio interface or mixing console. Process the recording with a bit of plug-in
compression and EQ, and you can get very solid bass tones.
Direct with amp simulation software (such as Avid Eleven LE, Line 6
Pod Farm, or IK Multimedias Ampeg SVX): Plug the bass into a a direct box or
your Hi-Z input, and then process that signal with the amp sim software. Some
programs have low-latency modes that allow you to monitor the processed
audio while you record. You can also record a DI, then duplicate the recorded
direct track, and use one copy unaffected while processing the second copy
with the amp sim software. Then you can blend two signals together in the
mix for interesting combination tones.
Direct through an amp simulation pedal or desktop modeling
box (such as the SansAmp VT Bass, DigiTech BP355, or BOSS GT-10B): Depending on the output level and impedance of the particular unit, you may have to
plug into a Hi-Z input or regular line inputcheck your products manual to
be sure. Using a hardware amp modeler gives your direct recording the coloration of a bass amp and speaker cabinet, but as with a real amp, and unlike
software, once you record the sound you cannot change it.
Miked bass amp: The basic principles are similar to those I covered in
my Guitar Amp Miking 101 article. For a brighter sound, aim the mic directly
at the center of the speakers dustcap (see fig. 1). As you move out toward the

Figure 1: Aiming the mic at the center of the speakers dustcap will give you a bright, articulate sound.

edge of the speaker, the sound will become rounder and warmer. Some bass amp
cabinets contain small tweeters. Depending on their location, moving the mic
toward the edge of the cone closest to the tweeter can actually give you a brighter
sound than the center dustcap position. You can put a second mic on the tweeter
if you need additional brightness. Record it to a separate track so you can adjust
the balance of the woofer and tweeter when you do the final mix. In general,
large-diaphragm dynamic mikes such as Audio-Technica ATM250, Sennheiser
MD421, Audix D6, Electro-Voice RE20, and AKG D112 are favored for bass amps,
although large-diaphragm condenser mikes such as the Rode NTK or Neumann
TLM 102 can also work well.
Various combinations (such as a miked amp plus a direct inputwith or
without amp sim processingor a direct input track plus a track processed by
amp simulation hardware or software): Blending two different sounds can provide tones than neither one can give you on its own. But watch for phase issues
when using any combo method.

Hands-On Review

Portaflex PF-500 Bass Head and PF-210HE Cabinet


Power, versatility, and great sound in a flip-top box
By Tom Foster, Harmony Central Contributor

ass players truly understand that less really is moreespecially when it


comes to hauling around amps. With massive cabinets, weighty heads, and
oversized bass cases, it's an exercise in brute force and timeless frustration
for a bass player to get to and from a gig. Fortunately, Ampeg has come up with
an elegant solution to the bass amp portability problem: the Portaflex PF-500
bass head and the PF-210HE cabinet. With these two components, Ampeg has
created a bass amp that combines vintage good looks, incredible features, and a
new transportation standard for the gigging bass player.

Hide-and-seek amp head

When the system first arrived, I thought they had left the amp head back at the
factory. As it turns out, the Ampeg Portaflex combos feature a flip-top design
modeled after the legendary Ampeg B-15. This modern take on Ampegs signature, groundbreaking concept is sure to make bassists take notice.
The amp head can be bolted onto the top of the PF-210HE cabinets lid, which
holds the head in place with four latches. When you want to transport the cabinet
and the head, just unlatch the top, flip it over so that the head rests inside the cabinet, and latch it back up. Your PF-500 rides in style, completely protected inside
the cabinet and reducing to just one piece the amount of gear you have to haul.
Yet the fun doesnt stop there, as the PF-210HE cabinet has plenty of room inside
for all your other extras. Now you dont need a separate bag or case for cables, music,
extra strings, and so on; just put them all inside the PF-210HE and youre good to go.

Pushin air with the PF-210HE

The Ampeg PF-210HE may be small, but it packs a big audio wallop. Inside the
cabinet are two ceramic Eminence LF drivers and a 1" HF driver. The cab is rated
for 450W RMS power handling at 8 ohms and it feels solid with a cool vintage
look, thanks to the black diamond Tolex covering and B-15 grille cloth.
The PF-210HE sports removable casters and a single handle on the top of the
cabinet when the cabinet top is reversed with the amp head face down inside
the cabinet. I found the handle arrangement a bit odd, as you lose the cabs only
handle when you flip the amp head back up. Still, if you just keep the casters on
the cabinet (which gives you a couple inches of elevation too), you can always
just wheel your amp into place. To further
tailor your sound, you can employ the threeway high-frequency switch. Nice!

I was especially impressed by the built-in compression that you can add to the
signal. This is great for being able to keep a consistent volume in your playing,
especially if you move back and forth between slap-bass and fingerpicking styles.
The compression is very smooth, giving the signal coming out of the PF-500 a
tight, punchy sound that works equally well in fusion and rock settings.

In session

I brought the PF-500 and PF-210HE to a recent recording session to put them
through their paces. What a joy it was to simply wheel in the cabinet and head
with one hand, and my bass in the other. Flip over the top, lock the latches,
plug in, and I was ready to go. The engineer was taken completely by surprise,
as he figured I had at least another 15 minutes of setup.
While the sound of the amp was great, the flexibility of all the output jacks
was equally fantastic. We could run a direct XLR output to the board from the
PF-500 head, while also running a separate line to my tuner and effects chain.
We had a fantastic session, and were able to concentrate on the music rather
than the limitations of recording a bass.

A compact winner

Besides my review combination, Ampeg offers several models in this series,


including the PF-350 head (RMS power output: 350W @ 4 ohms) and PF-115HE
cabinet (1x15" ceramic Eminence LF driver; 450W power handling @ 8 ohms).
Of course, the heads and cabs can be used interchangeably.
For the gigging bass player, the combination of the Ampeg PF-500 head and
PF-210HE cabinet is a life saver: a solid bass amp system that combines portability, audio muscle, and performance flexibility. The unique flip-top cabinet design
is still a brilliant way to ride herd over all the clutter that is inevitably a part
of any live gig. If youre seeking great sound in a sleek package, check out the
PF-500 and PF-210HE amp system. Youll absolutely flip for it.

Ampeg is famous for, check out the Portaflex PF-500 and PF-210HE cabinet.

Features & Specs:


Ampeg Portaflex PF-500 Head

The Portaflex PF-500:


Not just a pretty head

Ease of transportation is matched by an


impressive feature set on the Portaflex
PF-500. The PF-500 uses a digital power amp
(Class D), switching power supply (for worldwide use at the flick of a switch), and a MOSFET preamp to push 500W RMS at 4 ohms.
On the front of the PF-500 youll find just
about every control youll need for getting the
best sound out of your bass. Along with the
standard bass, midrange, and treble controls,
you have Ultra Hi and Ultra Lo boost switches,
plus a five-way, mid-frequency control to help
you dial in your sound. Another nice touch is
the -15dB pad for lowering the output of your
basss active electronics. There are also two 1/8"
stereo jacks: one aux input (for your MP3 player) and one output for headphone monitoring
your bass mixed with the aux input, if present.

Returns

Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is the suggested retail selling price of a product provided to us by manufacturers. We may commonly
sell products at prices lower than MSRP and, for any given product, no sales
may have occurred at MSRP. MSRP is a benchmark to compare our discounts
from MSRP to pricing offered by other retailers. Whether other retailers sell at
MSRP will vary by product, geographic location, type of store, and over time.
Although we periodically update the MSRPs posted in our stores, direct mail
offerings, and on our website as we receive them, in some cases manufacturers may change a suggested retail price without notice to us. Please contact
the manufacturer of a specific product for the most up-to-date MSRP information. MSRPs quoted for house or private label brands are developed internally
in consideration of comparable name brand products. We may commonly sell
such products at prices lower than MSRP and, for any given product, no sales
may have occurred at MSRP. Although our limited time events are intended to
be limited time events, our low prices offered during these events may continue in effect after the event.

Bass HyperDrive Distortion
Metal legend James LoMenzos
signature distortion will turn any
bass into a fire breather! Per James
vision, a band of midrange frequencies
is filtered out and distortion is added only to
this band. The filtered frequencies can be tuned
to the precise range that gives the optimum effect.
Distortion is variable from a subtle breakup to huge
overdrive, giving you an exciting range of extreme effects. Mix in your dry signal
to maintain a powerful, full-bodied tone.

ith acoustic guitars, different woods yield different tonal flavors that
color a guitars sound. Tuning in to the way different woods respond to
your playing will help you hone in on the right model.
Taylors acoustic line features a wide array of wood choices that cover
every type of player. Among the most time-honored tonewoods are
rosewood and mahogany. Rosewood boasts a broad tonal range, with
a full low end and sizzling highs. Mahogany is known for a meaty or
breathy midrange that comes from harmonic overtones. Another
popular choice, maple, has a bright, focused tone that projects
well and cuts through a mix, making it a favorite of stage and studio players. A dense tropical hardwood like Hawaiian koa tends
to sound bright on a newer guitar, but with extended play the
midrange gets sweeter and richer. Ovangkol, an African relative
of rosewood, blends many of rosewoods tonal properties with
a splash of extra midrange.
For guitar tops, spruce accommodates a range of playing
styles, while cedars extra warmth will appeal to many fingerstyle players and light to medium strummers.
In the end, your best bet is to compare guitars made from
different woods and decide for yourself. If it inspires you, youve
found a keeper. For more on tonewoods and the Taylor acoustic
line, visit taylorguitars.com.

Hands-On Review

Jackson Browne
Model 1 & Model A
A class act with historical
inspiration and modern
appointments
By Jon Chappell, Senior Editor, Harmony Central

may have raised an eyebrow when I read Gibsons tagline describing the new
Jackson Browne signature model as The Grand Piano of Acoustics. But once
I pulled the guitar out of its case, I could think of no better description. Looking like a six-string version of a concert Steinway, the Gibson Jackson Browne
is highly polished, darkly elegant, and freakin hugeboth in dimensions and
tone. You dont need a white tie and tails to play this guitar, but unamplified
it will fill a concert hall. And you will lookand soundlike a million bucks
when playing it. The Gibson Jackson Browne is as classy as it is commanding.

right hand stretch out. It also gives people with larger fingers ample room to play
left-hand chords cleanly. Though this guitar is meant for songwriters, rhythm
guitarists, and traditional-music lead players, you can play up to the 10th position
with no problem. It should be remembered that one of the greatest bluegrass lead
players of all time, Norman Blake, plays a 12-fret guitar.

All plugged in

The Gibson Jackson Browne is designed after the round-shouldered jumbos of the
1930s, but with a deeper body (4.55" and 4.83" at the neck and tail blocks, respectively). Its constructed of an Adirondack red spruce top (with scalloped X-bracing
of the same material), solid and eco-friendly English walnut for the back and
sides, mahogany for the neck, and rosewood for the fingerboard and bridge.
The legendary songwriter and acoustic performer Jackson Browne was
inspired by the Roy Smeck model for this modern rendition because of its big
body, wide fingerboard, and classic Gibson appeal. Gibson Montana worked on
the guitar with Browne and added some period-appropriate extras, such as the
use of hide glue to join the different wood sections together. The vintage-style
Waverly exposed worm gear tuners are a nice touch that enhances the traditional
look. To complete the picture, the guitar features a high-gloss vintage-sunburst
nitrocellulose finish.

Two versions of the Jackson Browne are available (Model 1 and Model A). Model A
has the built-in electronics, sporting a a Trance Audio Amulet Pickup system that
contains stereo acoustic lens transducers, an onboard preamp, and an external
controller (the blue box) for processing the signal. No onboard battery is necessary,
as the preamp is phantom-powered through the cable. The box itself can be powered through either a 12V AC adapter or a 9V batteryfor those times when you
have a simple stage setup of just a combo amp. The single cable is a special five-pin
design that carries the power to the preamp and stereo audio from the guitar to
the box. The box has a volume control and Left and Right Outputs, or it can be
used as just a mono feed to a mixing board, guitar amp, preamp, or audio interface.
The sound from the Amulet is stunningly realistic and transparent. Theres
no onboard EQ or other circuitry to get in the way: you achieve your treble/bass
balance by adjusting the output of the lens transducers that are placed strategically inside the guitar. And if you really need to crank the guitar to be heard,
an optional low-cut switch inside the box helps keep feedback at bay. The best
part is that with the power supply and moving parts (really just the gain knob)
relegated to the box, once you unplug the guitar, its a normal acoustic from the
outsidecompletely pristine and free of any electronic trappings.

Size matters

Conclusion

Overview

The Jackson Browne is listed as a Jumbo model, but this instrument is really
jumbo. For starters, its the deepest-bodied guitar Gibson makes (and quite
noticeable to anyone who catches it in profile). Its also a 12-fret guitar, which
means that although the scale length is the familiar 24-3/4" of many Gibson
acoustics, the body is extended in the direction of the headstock, joining the
neck at the 12th fret instead of the typical 14th. Given that the guitar is also a
non-cutaway, that gives you just about the largest body youre going to find in
a standard model. And yet, the sound is not overly boomyin fact, it has quite
a nicely balanced low end, certainly enhanced by the larger resonant chamber,
but with that Gibson acoustic sound of a rich midrange and articulate highs.
Its like a bigger J-45, both in size and sound. And how can you have too much
of a good thing?

Playability

The neck is constructed of quartersawn mahogany and topped with a rosewood


fingerboard. I like the modified V neck profile, as it nicely complements the
fingerboard. At 1.805", this fretboard is palpably wider than a more typical 1-3/4"
(1-12/16") width. Consequently, fingerpicking and open-position lead and rhythm
are where this guitar shines. The openness of the fingerboard really lets your

The Gibson Jackson Browne may be huge, but it doesnt overpower. It still
sounds like a Gibson, with the extra volume and slight bass push that will
make it a welcome stage instrument when you really need to move some air. I
loved having the bigger sound in rehearsal, and when plugged in, the Amulet
preserved with integrity the sweet acoustic sound I had established in acoustic
mode. The Gibson Jackson Browne retains the sweet clear sound of a vintage
Gibson acoustic, while bringing with it a historical aesthetic, state-of-the-art
electronics, and a vision of grand beauty.
Enjoy the same quality of acoustic guitar tones that have inspired Mr. Browne
and left his audiences in awe. Reserve yours now.

Hands-On Review
WD20SCE Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric
Beautiful bargain
By Jon Chappell, Senior Editor, Harmony Central

Features & Specs:

Dreadnought cutaway style


Solid Alaskan Sitka spruce top
Quartersawn scalloped bracing
Rosewood back and sides
Satin-finished mahogany neck
with 2-way truss rod

Rosewood fingerboard and bridge


with bone nut and saddle
Rosewood-capped headstock with
mother-of-pearl Washburn logo
and stylized W inlay
Die-cast chrome tuners
Fishman Isys+ tuner/preamp system
Equipped with DAddario strings
Limited lifetime warranty

ts a rare thing to pick up a guitar with a price tag


as affordable as the Washburn WD20SCE and start
thinking in adjectives like flawless and stunning, yet that was exactly my impression when I viewed
and played this steal of an instrument for the first time.
An expertly manufactured modern dreadnought with
the important bell and whistle of a Fishman 301T preamp and Isys+ electronics, this fine acoustic-electric both
confirms and denies the old saying they dont make
em like they used to. Thats because the WD20SCE is
clearly designed and built with modern manufacturing
techniques, including the embedded saddle pickup and
controls, yet exhibits the craftsmanship and attention
to detail of handbuilt dreadnoughts.

Build quality

The single-cutaway WD20SCE features a solid spruce


top, rosewood back and sides, a finished mahogany
neck with double-action truss rod, and a rosewood
fingerboard and bridge with bone nut and saddle.
The smoothly operating tuners are die-cast chrome.
Inlays include the Washburn logo and stylized W on
the rosewood-capped headstock, standard fret dots,
and a simple geometric rosette (no pickguard). The
guitar has a 25-1/2" scale with a 1-11/16" nut width
and 2-1/8" string spacing at the saddle.
The review instrument I received showed no signs
of irregularity in the quartersawn
Sitka spruce bracing, glue traces,
or other flaws at the seams or in
the binding. The glossy finish
on the back and sides showed
no blemishes, and the satin neck
coat was applied and finished for
maximum playability. The 1/4"
jack and control panel were unobtrusively inserted and felt like
organic components of the guitar. The WD20SCE is backed by
a limited lifetime warranty.

Playing out

All the construction


quality and good looks
wouldnt have mattered if the guitar were
uninspiring to play
or exhibited dull or
weak sound, but the
WD20SCE scored big
as both an acoustic and
electric instrument. The
guitar was set up well; had
no fret buzz with mediumlow action; and had full, rich

tones right out of the box. It sounded like an aged dreadnought


in the low end, but crisp and bright on top with no overriding
boxiness in the low-midrange. The Venetian cutaway allowed
easy access to the 17th fret, and I was able to play high leads
in various styles as easily as I could fingerpick soft passages at
standard position.
Perhaps most surprising, when I plugged the WD20SCE
into my mixer and recording system, the amplified sound
was practically indistinguishable from the acoustic sound in
the studio. The Fishman preamp includes a seven-segment
LED tuner and phase selector (to improve bass response at
low volume and suppress feedback at high volume) along
with a low-battery indicator. The Isys+ system includes wellcalibrated volume, bass, and treble controls, but I didnt need
to adjust the tone at all for recording because the default
sound and output of the WD20SCE was so satisfying.

Plugged in

The volume, bass, and treble controls did come in handy when
I plugged the guitar into my Roland VGA-7, a full-range amp
designed to handle a wide spectrum of unfiltered and highly
processed guitar signals. The extended frequency-range handling
is good to have when using an amp with an acoustic-electric on a
gig as a single. With this setup, I reduced both the bass and treble
along with the guitars output, and relied on the amps volume
control for gain, which helped with feedback in close quarters.
With these adjustments, the WD20SCE sounded as good as it had
acoustically through a mixer.
I cant say enough about how even-toned and playable the
WD20SCE was as a simple acoustic performer. It held up admirably against my longtime favorite (and more expensive) dreadnought. As a recording guitarist, I know that the best-sounding
acoustic is not always the easiest to capture in a studio. But the
WD20SCE sounded great on recordings (with very little tweaking)
and played like a dreamthe ideal bridge guitar for players who
spend most of their time on a standard acoustic or an electric.
Thats how well it played and how good it felt.

Bottom line, top shelf

You can buy a more expensive acoustic-electric, but you may


not find one as versatile, playable, and sonically pleasing as
Washburns WD20SCE. Its an acoustic-electric thats well
made, good looking, and built to excel in almost any kind
of musical situation that requires a traditional or modernsounding acoustic guitar. This is no simple jack-of-all-trades,
however. The WD20SCE has a unique and consistent tone
that, along with its beautiful design, will give its owner a lot
of good music and pleasure for many years.
Check out the great looks, excellent tone, and phenomenal
playability of Washburns WD20SCE for $299. Order today

Hands-On Review
Copper Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings
A new string formula for a warmer, richer tone
By Jon Chappell, Senior Editor, Harmony Central

uality guitar strings are kind of like plumbing: when theyre doing their job
right, you dont even think about them. They deliver their tone, strum after
strum, note after note, without you having to fuss with any knobs, switches, or
settings. All they need to keep them happy and humming is a little twist on the tuning pegs now and then. But just because strings dont have a lot of doo-dads doesnt
mean that string makers dont invest a lot of thought into their products design,
production, and continual improvement. Red Brand strives to help you make the best
music possible by constantly evaluating their strings makeup and manufacturing.
And nowhere is their innovation more present than in their acoustic guitar strings.

Voiced warm

Red Brands acoustic guitar strings have a single, unique, and vital purpose: to offer
acoustic guitarists an alternative to the established chemistries of phosphor bronze
and 80/20 (sometimes called brite bronze) strings, which have been on the market
since the 1800s and the 1970s, respectively. Heres a bit of background. The more copper content a string has, the warmer the tone. With 80/20 strings, the copper content
is about 80%, with tin and other metals making up the remaining 20% (bronze by
definition is an alloy of copper and tin). Phosphor bronze strings contain higher levels
of copper, about 90%. They are warmer sounding than the lower-copper 80/20s. So
what happens when you raise the content even further than 90%?

String alchemy

Thats exactly the question Red Brands Copper Bronze strings answer. Currently
they are available in five different configurations: Custom Light (.011 - .052); Light
(.012 - .053); Medium (.012 - .056); Bluegrass (.012 - .056); and 12 String (.010/.010 .047/.026). The Copper Bronze strings feature a chemical makeup with a significantly
higher copper content than in phosphor bronze stringsabout 99%, the manufacturer reports. This results in an even greater tonal shift toward the warmer, mellower
side of the spectrum than phosphor bronze can deliver. In practical terms, if you have
a bright-sounding guitar that tends toward the brassy, you can dial it back a notch
using Red Brands Copper Bronze strings.

Red shift

I own an arsenal of acoustic guitars, and some of my favorites could be characterized


as bright. My Taylor 814CE, for example, is a top-notch guitar in every respect (playability, build quality, tonal response), but I dont usually reach for it for chunking out

rhythm chords in an acoustic-rock context. Its too present, too jangly for that; better
to grab my Gibson J-45. Or so Id always thought when I slapped on my usual brite
bronze or phosphor bronze sets. But for an upcoming session with my songwriting
partner, I decided to try the Red Brands Copper Bronzes on my trusty Taylor.
In isolation the difference was immediately noticeable. The strings were rich and
balanced, and in every way reproduced the signature acoustic-guitar transients that
gave my Taylor its responsive quality. But while the balance and clarity were still
there, that extra sizzle thats ever-present in my Taylor was rounded off just enough
where it wasnt a distraction or approaching a candy-coated tone. Best of all, when
played in the context of backing up a smoky male baritone (my songwriting partner),
my rhythm guitar part was now truly supportive of the voice and high-string guitar
(which handled the lead fills and jangly cowboy chord stuff), rather than vying for
space in the high-frequency spectrum.
This was one of those Why didnt anyone think of this before? moments. With an
acoustic guitar, you dont have a lot of variable as far as influencing the tone, so why
not consider strings that are purpose-built for different tonal situations? The Copper
Bronzes are a clear choice for imbuing a warm, mellow sound that will blend into
any mix. Think of it as the acoustic version of the neck pickup vs. your bridge pickup
on the same guitar!

Conclusion

If I were a guitar manufacturer, I would jump at the chance to offer my customers a


choice in tonal variety, based on something as easy and modular as which strings I set
the instrument up with. Until that time comes, I will keep a box of Red Brand Copper
Bronze Lights in my studio to augment my acoustic palette and to rely on for consistent tone over long periods of time. If you have a bright guitar, such as a Takamine or
a Taylor, you can find new uses for it simply by stringing it with a new set of Copper
Bronzes. Its like bringing a whole new, gentler voice to your favorite instrument.
For a quality set of strings that will last a long time and bring out the best in
your acoustic guitars, check out Red Brands acoustic guitar strings. Order today

are. DDT strings maintain their intonation at lower tunings far better than
other strings you may have played or heard. Players say these strings are so

The K3 coating is the


first coating that players
report sounds as good as,
or better than, uncoated
strings. Players say these
strings have more volume, less unwanted overtones, and greater clarity
and articulation than standard, uncoated strings.
Yet, they provide the same protection from corrosion and perspiration as well as the increased tone
life that coated strings are known for.

JH James Hetfield Humbucker Set
James says gimme the new: new sound, new
look. After playing the EMG-81/60 combo for
many years, James wanted a new sound and
look. The neck pickup uses individual bobbins and ceramic poles with an enlarged core
that gives it a more percussive attack, higher
output, and a fuller low-end response making
it clean, fat, and fast attacking. The bridge
pickup uses the same larger/taller core coil but
has steel pole pieces, again for a tighter, more
percussive attack with less mutual inductance
for a cleaner low end.

Five Minutes With


Gregg Bissonette
A versatile musician who brings together formal
training and real-world playing experience
By Jon Chappell, Senior Editor, Harmony Central

regg Bissonette has played with everyone from


Ringo Starr to Victor Wooten to David Lee Roth.
Much of the versatility that allows Bissonette to
play with such a diverse group of artists can be traced
back to his formative years as a musician, starting with
his home life. Luckily I had great, amazing musical
parents, says Bissonette. My dad was a drummer and
my mom was a vibes player in my dads band. My sister
Kathy is in the industry and my brother Matt is my
favorite bass player and songwriter. We have a really
musical family.
Then theres his pedigree. Bissonette graduated from
the University of North Texas, one of the best and most
competitive music schools in the country. My parents
told me very early on that I should go to college and
get a degree, he says. One of my role models from
very early on was my band director.
Although Bissonette fills the bulk of his professional
life playing, he draws on his education in his role as
an instructor and clinician. I get to teach drum clin-

ics for Mapex all over the world, he says. And thats
where I do my teaching. I feel the knowledge I got in
college has served me to this day. There were 125 drum
set majors when I was there, and the school environment, the academics, learning and studying, and the
private practice rooms all contributed to my makeup
as a player. Also, to put myself through college I ended
up playing five or six nights a week in Dallas. Thats
where the half and half came in: half schooling, half
real-world. That really paid off.
One of Bissonettes fondest professional memories
came during a tour with Ringo. Last summer Paul
McCartney sat in at Radio City Music Hall and surprised Ringo for his 70th birthday, he explains. Ringo
didnt have a clue it was going to happen. We did the
whole show with tons of guests, and Ringo thought it
was all over. Then Paul comes out in his Beatles suit
and did Birthday. And then we played double drums
together. Besides the birth of my children, it was the
greatest day of my life.

Expressive Drum Loops


By Craig Anderton, Editor in Chief, Harmony Central

he clich is that drum loops are boring and repetitive . . . you dont
have to succumb to dumb drums if you check out these ways to make
drum loops anything but a yawner.

Add individual drum hits

Drum loop libraries often include individual drum hits. So, you can set up
another track adjacent to the track containing the loop and drag in some
additional hits. The occasional off-beat hit can liven up a part by adding an
element of surprise or increasing emphasis as needed.

Use real cymbals

Find drum loops that dont have cymbals, then mic some real cymbals and
overdub the cymbal parts. Not only will the cymbals sound provide a richness thats difficult for a sample to provide, but using real cymbals adds
variety to the loops.

Loop variations with chopping

Chopping a loop into pieces and rearranging them can work wonders. For
example, cut a 16th note from the loops beginning, then paste it in for the
two 16th notes that precede the loop. While youre at it, draw in a level
curve so they build up to the loop itself (Fig. 1). The end result is a seductive lead-in.
You can also chop internally to the loop; for example, swap the 2nd
remo_psp_trade_v1-mf_hp_07.pdf

4/26/11
11:14 AM
and 3rd beats to add some variation. Or, intensify a part by chopping an
8th note hit in half, throwing away the second half, and repeating the

Figure 1: The loop beginning (highlighted in


black) has been copied and pasted twice just
before the loop, providing a cool lead-in.

Figure 2: Cut up a loop, then rearrange the pieces to add variety and interest
(the cut and copied pieces are highlighted in yellow for clarity).

first part twice (Fig. 2). This gives you two 16th note hits instead of a single
8th note hit.

Change the tempo

If youre using REX or Acid-compatible loops, theyll follow reasonable


tempo changes if their stretching/transient markers are placed properly. Real
musicians dont maintain a rock steady temponot necessarily because they
cant, but because they manipulate the groove to add emotional impact.
Pulling back the tempo a bit can help emphasize the vocals in a sensitive
verse, while speeding up a little bit provides the rhythmic equivalent of
modulating upward by a semitone.

The virtues of automation

Dynamically varying the drum loop levels and timbre via host automation
can restore some of the dynamics that are taken away by repeating a loop
over and over again. Even better, assign some of these parameters to a hardware control surface so you can manipulate the dynamics in real time, and
do a performance.
Yes, it takes some extra effort to make a loop really shinebut when you
hear how much these techniques can add to a loop, youll make that effort.

Im sure it cant [fill in the blank], you find that it canwhether its built-in timestretching algorithms, being Mackie Control-compatible, or having built-in mics so
you can capture ideas without plugging in anything. For example, not only does the
R8 have phantom power for the two XLR/line combo ins (with one switchable to
instrument), but you can choose between +24V to save power (this works with most
condenser mics) or +48V if your mic needs full power. Speaking of power, you can
run the R8 off USB, an included (non-proprietary) AC adapter, or four AA batteries.
Given the price, I expected the R8 to feel cheap. Yet the buttons have a positive,
solid feel and click for tactile feedback (except for the velocity-sensitive mini-pads,
of course). And although the faders are only 40mm long they feel smooth with virtually no wobble. Even the included USB cable is over 6 feet long (cell phone manufacturers, take note!). The SD card doesnt stick out the side, but is safely recessed.

Getting started

Rather than run down a list of featuresyou can get that from the Musicians
Friend or Zoom websitesI think its more important to consider how effectively
the R8 lets you actually make music. There are two main issues: How fast can you
capture inspiration, and whether (if needed) you can take that inspiration and
transfer it to a DAW for a broader-based recording environment. Ive used some
older all-in-one units that, while capable, had operating systems so opaque that
any time you gained was lost trying to figure out how to perform basic functions.
The acid test: Recording without reading the manual. For basic functions, the R8
is a breeze. All the main functions are right on the front panelyou can start recording and overdubbing without having to enter menu-land. I was able to record two
tracks (you can record two tracks at a time and play back eight) using the built-in
mic in under a couple minutes. I wanted to see how hard it was to add reverb as a

send effect; I hit the track button (which seemed logical enough), but that didnt
reveal a send control so I hit the Pan/EQ button and bingo! A reverb send. If you just
want to use the R8 as a recorder, you could probably operate it while semiconscious.
I couldnt figure out how to add a rhythm track using the drum machine, so
I read the manualwhich is how I found out that its well-organized and logical. Within minutes, I had a reference rhythm track. Laying down a full-blown
rhythm track, where you use multiple patterns and create drum parts, is more
complex; its a lot faster to choose a basic rhythm as a sort of glorified metronome, then go back and create a real drum part.

Computer interfacing

I also didnt have to read the manual to get the R8 working with Mac or Windows
(32- and 64-bit compatible), either as a 2x2 audio interface or by treating the SD
card as an external drive. As an interface the R8 can do 88.2kHz and 96kHz sampling rates; as a recorder it does 44.1/48kHz (16- or 24-bit), although you can use
effects only with 44.1kHz. Also note that while you can import files, they need to
be the same sample rate and bit resolution as the project. As a control surface, the
R8 is more than you might thinktransport, faders, bank select, auto-punch, etc.
There are also five assignable function keys that follow the Mackie Control protocol.

Conclusions

Dont let my emphasis on simplicity fool you. Yes, its easy to get startedbut theres
lots more if you want to dig deeper, and the interface is (thankfully) consistent
enough that even the deeper functions arent too many button clicks away. Its possible to split files, create a playlist of projects (backing tracks, anyone?), create your
own rhythm patterns, bounce tracks, trim files, edit effects . . . you get the idea.
What I expected and what I found were two very different things. With
the R8, Zoom has not only created a highly functional, portable recording/
songwriters companion device, but clearly put a lot of thought into making it
simple to use and capable of handling a variety of tasks. Frankly, Im impressed.
Zooms R8 puts recording, interfacing, sampling, and control surface capabilities
in a compact, cost-effective package. Order today with the complete assurance

Product Spotlight
H2n Handy Recorder
Enjoy the new standard
By Brian Dougherty, Product Specialist, Samson Technologies Corp.

epresenting a new generation of portable recording, the H2n is Zooms most


innovative hand-held recorder to date. Weve packed groundbreaking features
into an ultraportable device that allows you to record pristine audio anywhere
you go. From film and broadcast to journalism, podcasting, musical performance,
songwriting, and rehearsal, the H2n provides amazing recording quality.

New mics, new sound

The H2n features our best microphones yet and is the only portable recorder
with five mic capsules onboard. This design enables the H2n to offer four unique
recording modes: Mid-Side (MS) stereo, 90 X/Y stereo, and 2-channel and 4-channel surround sound.
The H2n is the first hand-held recorder to offer Mid-Side stereo recording, a technique used for many years in film and broadcast where ambience and surrounding
noise are crucial. Mid-Side recording combines a unidirectional Mid mic that captures
sound directly in front of you and a bidirectional Side mic that captures sound from
your left and right. By increasing or decreasing the level of the Side mic, you can
control the width of the stereo field, which gives you incredible flexibility over your
recordings. If you record in RAW mode you can even adjust the stereo width after
recording.
The recorders onboard 90 X/Y stereo condenser mics are arranged with the right
and left mics on the same axis. This design ensures that the H2ns mics are always
equidistant from the sound source for perfect localization and no phase shifting. The
result is brilliant stereo recording with natural depth and accurate imaging.
Using the H2ns Mid-Side and X/Y mics together, you can create stunning 360
surround sound recordings. Choose between 2-channel mode, which combines the
Mid-Side and X/Y mics, and 4-channel mode, which records two separate stereo files,
allowing you even more post-production capability. No matter which mode you use,
youll get perfectly balanced, surround sound recordings.

You get it all

The H2n is remarkably easy to use. With its newly designed user interface, critical
controls are right at your fingertips and make studio-quality recording a breeze. The
H2n also houses an arsenal of comprehensive functions, including Auto-Gain, a
compressor/limiter, time stamping, and more. A 1.8" backlit LCD display (128x64
resolution) provides crystal-clear monitoring and makes it simple to navigate all of
the units functions. In addition, as digital volume controls offer too much or too little
gain with no middle ground, the H2n features an analog Mic Gain wheel that allows
you to dial in the perfect amount of gain for any given application.
Never again will you have to worry about losing recorded data to unexpected
errors. The H2n has you covered with its new data recovery function. Whether you
experience battery loss or an accidental power-down, this feature will automatically
restore your data the next time the H2n is powered on. The H2n also features a builtin reference speaker that lets you know your recordings have been captured. With its
1/8" stereo output, you can also playback your recordings on your home audio system
or listen to your masterpiece using your favorite pair of headphones.

The H2n provides over 20 hours of continuous operation on just two standard
AA alkaline batteries! This astonishing feature enhances the H2ns flexibility and
convenience. In addition, the H2n can also operate using an AC adapter, which is
included in the optional APH-2n Accessory Pack. Using SD/SDHC cards, the H2n can
accommodate up to a 32GB SDHC card for over 50 hours of recording time using
the 16-bit/44.1kHz WAV format. With 128kbps MP3 format, you get an incredible
555 hours of stereo recording. The H2n comes with a 2GB SD card to get you started.
Transfer files to your Mac or PC with the H2ns High-Speed USB 2.0 interface. Once
your recordings are on your computer, you can easily store, edit, playback, and share
your favorite creations. You can even use the H2n as a USB microphone, letting you
record directly to your computer. The H2n comes with Steinbergs WaveLab LE 7,
which can be used for audio editing and professional-quality mastering. By using its
precise waveform editing and high-quality processing, you can refine your recordings
into finished works.

Accessorize with ease . . .

The APH-2n accessory package is also available with a variety of accessories that make
it easier for you to capture your recordings. The accessory kit includes a wired remote
control with an extension cable, windscreen, AC adapter (USB type), USB cable,
adjustable tripod stand, padded shell case, and mic clip adapter. The APH-2ns wired
remote can be used to start, stop, and pause recordings, as well as to add marks. Its
also useful in preventing handling noise.

No matter the application, the H2n brings the very best in stereo recording to a convenient, user-friendly package that fits in your pocket. Zoom H2n Handy Recorder.

Hands-On Review

Drum Cube Pro &


Guitar Cube Pro Microphones
Condensers that rock
By Jon Chappell, Senior Editor, Harmony Central

ecent advances in technology have allowed recordists to choose higher


fidelity condenser mics for capturing high sound levels created by kick
drums, toms, and guitar ampstraditionally tasks for dynamic mics that
can better withstand the increased sound pressure levels (SPL) of those instruments. MXLs Cube mic has been functioning nicely for several years now as
a tom, overhead, and even vocal mica versatile and economical choice for
multiple recording tasks. Now, MXL has broadened the Cube line to include
Pro versions for drums and guitar.

Good mikingCubed

MXLs Drum Cube Pro and Guitar Cube Pro are mighty-mites that provide
excellent SPL handling and frequency-response characteristics. Both are cardioidpattern mics (they pick up most sound from directly in front of the capsule) that
can handle 140dB SPLmore than enough to survive a full-throttle beating by
metal drummers and axe-wielders. And the mics can generate the full, audible
tonal range of 20Hz to 20kHz, so every beat or note will be as crisp and clean
as it is loud. With striking good looks and heft that evoke much higher-priced
condensers, the black Drum Cube Pro and chrome Guitar Cube Pro are stylish,
as well as sensible, additions to your mic closet.
Both front-address mics require 48-volt phantom power and employ 32mmdiameter, 6-micron-thick, gold-sputtered capsules. Each mic comes with a nice
vinyl slipcase and basic screw-on mount. As with all condensers, you should be
aware of the Cube Pros sensitivity to moisture, so use a pop filter if you plan
to record vocals, and always use the highest-quality cables you can get. (MXL
recommends Mogami cables.)

In the studio

The Cube Pros compact size made it a breeze to record with. I took the Drum
Cube Pro and Guitar Cube Pro to a session with a band that usually records its
rehearsals tightly spaced and with dynamic mics. Employing condensers turned

the session into a more standard recording date, so we spaced the players more
widely and strategically isolated the instruments. The extra fidelity provided by
the Drum Cube Pro and Guitar Cube Pro required a bit of experimentation to
optimize the sound and control feedback.
But what a difference the Cube Pro mics made in the recording. After a pass
with the Drum Cube Pro positioned slightly inside the open-front kick, the band
liked the added snap so much that they decided to overdub the drums with the
mic used as an overhead, picking up both cymbals and toms. We had done a
good job controlling bleed into the Cube, knowing that the cardioid pattern of
a condenser is wider than that of a dynamic and thus more susceptible to bleed
from other drums. As an overhead mic, the Drum Cube Pro brought a new level
of realism to the cymbals and was placed well enough to get a good mono mix
of toms, which also got new life from the condenser.
The Guitar Cube Pro was just as successful on the sessions amps, which
ranged from clean and bright Roland-type boxes for multiple strummed-chord
layers to VOX-type crunchy lead sounds. Although popular dynamic mics can
work amazingly well for the crunch assignment, having a full-range condenser
brought out every nuance of the bands mix of clean and dirty guitar sounds.
We even did a pass on the bass amp and found that the new clarity enhanced
the potential for bass in the mix since the band could bring the bottom forward
at selected points without worrying about the bass overwhelming the track.
At the end of the day, the band was thinking less about quick and dirty
recording with double-duty live-sound dynamic mics, and more about making
finalized and Web-ready recordings with stereo Guitar Cube Pros and Drum
Cube Pros. At each Cube Pros surprisingly low price, this is a reasonable course
for even young bands to adopt.

Into the Cube

MXL has brought new quality and affordability to the multipurpose largediaphragm condenser mic. The Drum Cube Pro and Guitar Cube Pro are great
choices for bands or individual musicians looking to improve the quality of
their sound without paying for a hyper-delicate and traditionally expensive
microphone. The Cubes sound quality is very impressive on a range of instruments (including vocals), and with a bit of experimentation, youll find that
the Drum Cube Pro and Guitar Cube Pro can handle many more jobsand do
those jobs with excellence.

PR 31 BW

PR 20 UT
Cost-saving version of Heils PR 20 with award-winning features. Heils
PR 20 has become a favorite snare mic for top Nashville engineers, and the
cardioid PR 20 UT (Utility) shares the same high-level specs and performance
as the PR 20, including a wide 40Hz-18kHz frequency range and +140dB
SPL handling. It also has -35dB of rear rejection, making it a great mic for
a wide range of applications, from vocals to instruments, where great sound
and extreme isolation are a must. Includes vinyl carrying bag, microphone
clip, and windscreen.

PR 22 UT
To help reduce cost, Heil pared down the packaging options, but the specs
and performance characteristics remain at the high level of the PR 22: wide
frequency range, +140dB SPL-handling, and -35dB of rear rejection. It has
exceptionally low handling noise, perfect midrange articulation, cardioid
polar pattern with uniform front-to-back discrimination, and heavy steel
construction. Great for vocals, high-SPL instruments, and snare.

MIC CABLES

A 4" version of the Heil PR 30 with the same great performance and specs.
The cardioid Heil PR 31 BW is the result of a suggestion from Bob Workman,
FOH engineer for Charlie Daniels. Bob uses the Heil PR 30 for almost every
application, but it was too large to fit in and around the drum kit, so he
suggested Heil cut it in half. The result is the same great sound, frequency
response, the same wonderful front pattern, and -40dB of side and rearrejection, making it the perfect low-profile answer to miking toms, guitar cabs,
brass, saxophone, Leslie speaker, and acoustic piano. Great for vocals too.

PR 48 Kick Drum Mic
Created with the input of professional drummers. A culmination of over
2 years spent on the road with leading drummers, the PR 48 starts with
Heils 1.5" large-diaphragm dynamic element sealed in a vulcanized shock
mount, and fed with a specially designed low-pass filter that creates a 10dB
rise from 60Hz-100Hz right where the kick drum resonates. It stays flat
out to 7.5kHz and drops off drastically to eliminate unwanted sounds, has
-40dB rear-rejection, and can handle 148dB SPL.

Hands-On Review

WK-7500 Keyboard Workstation

Before you jump to conclusions . . . keep reading.


By Craig Anderton, Editor in Chief, Harmony Central

he semi-weighted, 76-key, velocity-sensitive keyboard has a bit more resistance than typical synth keybeds. Its comfortable, with a solid feel. The
display is a big, readable LCD; plenty of buttons simplify navigating through
the relatively transparent operating system. There are nine physical drawbars
for drawbar organ sounds that also serve as controllers for editing sequencer
track parameters.
Note the rear-panel I/O: 1/4" dynamic mic in, 1/4" instrument in, 1/8" jack
stereo line in (e.g., for iPods, CD players, and the like), 1/4" stereo headphone
out, and 1/4" left and right outs (as well as a 1/4" sustain/assignable pedal jack).
There are no MIDI 5-pin DIN connectors, but a USB port can transfer audio/MIDI
data to and from Mac and Windows computers, and you dont need an amp
to monitor thanks to two sets of remarkably good-sounding two-way speakers.
A built-in 16-track sequencer (with an extra System track for chord changes,
etc.) has a very cool extra featureyou can play back the sequence and record
the result as audio to an SD/SDHC card (2 to 32GB), while simultaneously
recording audio from the mic or instrument input. (Or just record the audio
ideal for capturing a vocal, guitar, or other musical idea.) You can also save
sequencer data as a Standard MIDI File.
So how does Casio meet this price point? Well, the case is high-impact plastic,
not metalbut that also accounts for the light weight (19 pounds) and portability. And while theres an external transformer, it accommodates from 100V to
240V, with a detachable AC cord for global use. Note that in addition to a pitch
bend wheel, modulation uses a button to apply switched modulation effects.

Yes, its an arrangerbut check the fine print

I used to think arrangers were for people who couldnt play or one-man bar
bands. But they can be used creatively, and they also make fine soundtrack generatorswith the cost often being less than commercial music libraries. I dont
want to detour too far from musician-land, but for audio-for-video, soundtracks,
and broadcast, an arranger keyboard can be the fastest, most cost-effective answer
when the client asks, How about a sort of Latin theme for this commercial?
As to the 250 styles (which Casio calls rhythms), each rhythm has an intro,
two variations, two fills, and an ending; however, you can edit these (alter the
mix, panning, effects, etc.) or create your own 8-track rhythms with drums,
percussion, bass, and five-chord patterns that you can save to the 100 available
memory slots. Its possible to switch styles while playing without glitches.
You can store 999 files on an SD card, as well as record up to five songs (or
about 30,000 events) in a sequence. So, calling up a single sequence file can actually load five songs for instant playbackgreat for live performance. Speaking
of live, you can also save 96 complete setups that basically store a snapshot of
everything thats happening in the WK-7500.
But the arranger tag is a bit misleading because you can also consider the
WK-7500 a synth/ROMpler for stage use or, thanks to the portability, something
you could take on vacation for songwriting at the beach. The WK-7500 refuses
to be stereotyped; the sounds recall Casios Privia line, and those who judge a

workstation by its pianos will not be disappointed by the full-sounding stereo


piano samples. Overall, the 800 onboard Tones range from standard to excellentand if you want more, you can store 100 tones of your own. You can even
get into reasonably complete sound and sequence editing (including step time
recording, punching, quantizing, copying, and so on)tweakers will find much
to like here, including a rich roster of DSP-based effects.

Conclusions

If I had to describe the WK-7500 in one word, it would be surprising. Its a


fine arranger keyboard, but does much more. The audio recording option goes
beyond the norm, and it seemed anything I looked into did more and was easier
to figure out than expected. Even the battery life is decentaround four hours
of continuous useand theres free Data Manager software for transferring
various WK-7500 data types to your Mac/Windows computer. Then theres the
arpeggiator and alternate tunings and auto-harmonize and . . .
What you can do with the WK-7500 is pretty astounding, but perhaps the
biggest surprise is the value. With the WK-7500, Casio is back into workstations
in a big and impressive way.
Casios WK-7500 raises the bar not just for cost-effectiveness, but the kind of performance you can get from an arranger. Order today with the complete assurance
