ROLAND DEBUTS CUBE LITE AMPS WITH i-CUBE-LINK
Compact, Stylish Amplifiers with iOS Audio Interfacing Built In
Los Angeles, CA, January 21, 2013 — Roland is pleased to introduce the CUBE™
Lite Guitar Amplifier and CUBE™ Lite MONITOR, two new compact amplifiers with
built-in audio interfaces for Apple’s iOS devices. With stylish looks and impressive
2.1-channel sound, the CUBE Lite amps allow musicians to enjoy playing and
recording music comfortably at home with their iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch via
i-CUBE-LINK.
Roland’s newly developed i-CUBE-LINK audio interface provides simple, convenient
communication with iOS devices through a single cable included with the CUBE Lite.
Plugging into the i-CUBE-LINK jack allows users to play iOS music through the
amplifier, and also record the amp sound directly into any iOS audio app, including
Roland’s free CUBE JAM.
Featuring a powerful 2.1-channel audio system, the CUBE Lite amplifiers are great
for both playing instruments and listening to music. The stereo speakers and
integrated subwoofer deliver amazingly rich and full sound in a compact footprint. For
silent practice, users can plug in headphones to mute the onboard speakers.
The CUBE Lite Guitar Amplifier is equipped with three killer COSM® tones—JC
CLEAN, CRUNCH, and EXTREME—giving guitarists a wide range of sounds for
playing any style of music. Reverb and chorus effects are onboard as well, with true
stereo performance for a wide, expansive sound.
With mic and instrument inputs, the CUBE Lite MONITOR is ideal for singers and
musicians who play electronic instruments such as piano, synthesizer, etc. Easy-to-
use reverb and echo effects provide a satisfying ambience for singing and playing.
The companion CUBE JAM app turns an iOS device into a fun command center for
jamming, recording, and learning. Users can play along with commercial songs and
create minus-one tracks through the CUBE Lite, and play the recorded audio back
into CUBE JAM through the i-CUBE LINK connection. After recording, users can
adjust the volume of their performance and backing music independently in the app,
then export a mix to a 16-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV file for sharing. CUBE JAM also includes
powerful tools for music practice, including independent speed and pitch adjustment
of audio playback, Center Cancel, and more.
The CUBE Lite series offers a stylish appearance that blends in nicely with home
furnishings. The CUBE Lite MONITOR comes in a handsome white finish, while the
CUBE Lite Guitar Amplifier is available in three different attractive finishes: white, red,
or black.
