Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Plugiator ASX - Authentic Sound Expansion for your

CME keyboard. A lot of effort and passion went into this product, which we are sure

you will appreciate – and we hope you will have as much fun with it as we have.

The Plugiator ASX - Authentic Sound Expansion can be used with either UF or VX

series keyboards to convert your MIDI controller into a great sounding performance

synthesizer. Why do we say performance synthesizer: the Plugiator ASX is not a

multitimbral workstation, and it is not primarily targeted for production, but it is

targeted towards the performing keyboard musician who seeks to play excellent classic

and exciting new sounds – in a band, on stage, or just for himself.

The Plugiator ASX does not rely on playback of sampled sounds, but it emulates real

synthesizers. It was designed to model their exact behaviour and deliver the same

powerful sound as the originals. You will quickly notice the difference. The Plugiator

ASX sounds like original, and not like a recording of it – maintaining all the depth,

the dynamics and the liveliness of the sound. Also it lets you to tweak any parameter

and easily allows you to design new sounds from ground up, if you like.

Several aspects of the Plugiator ASX are new and unique. Combining the compact

size and „compact“ price point of sample-based sound modules with the latest in

DSP technology, the Plugiator ASX provides innovation and flexibility previously only

available in the software plug-in domain. Its open and modular architecture, combined

with unique internet integration for quick browsing of online sounds, allows you to

capture a whole world of sounds and take it anywhere you take your keyboard

controller. Use your computer for managing your sounds – but when it is time to go

out, perform and have fun, you can now leave your computer at home.

Great plug-in technology just became light-weight and portable!
