Open Labs introduces Music OS
3.0 and announces alliance with Dell
Open Labs has
expanded its product line by introducing Music OS 3.0.
The Music OS 3.0
or MOS (moss) software application is designed to address the
needs of both music creators and live performers. With over 7 years of
integrated touch screen experience, MOS was purposely developed and optimized
for touch screen use; however, a touch screen is not required when installed
on PC desktops and laptop systems.
MOS was engineered to work in
conjunction with traditional DAW programs as a professional ‘scratch pad’ when
creating and performing music. MOS offers unique features, such as
Live Controls and Elastique, allowing users to
create customizable controls that can latch to any music software, VST, and
hardware device. Essentially, what this means is that MOS can transform any
DAW into a live instrument program with touch screen friendly controls.
Additionally, MOS allows users to
import / export their musical ideas into traditional DAWs for further editing,
mixing and mastering. If users already have a completed project and would like
to perform with their D.A.W. tracks live on stage using MOS (i.e. using
prerecorded backing tracks), all they have to do is export / import their
tracks into MOS for greater performance, touch screen friendly control and
stability.
Price: $299.
Open Labs says they will be releasing an Apple OS X supported platform in
early 2012.
Alliance with DELL
Computers
Open Labs has also announced a technology alliance and creative partnership
with DELL Computers. Open Labs and DELL will be offering powerful and
affordable music computer bundles starting at $1499.
All music bundles will include an
optimized Intel i5 or i7 touch screen laptop computer powered by DELL and Open
Labs Music OS 3.0 software for creating and performing live music. Also
included will be thousands of 3rd party sounds and presets from VST providers
like Native Instruments, Cakewalk and others.
Other music bundles will include
‘extras’ such as a USB keyboard controller and a microphone preamp for
recording vocals, guitars, drums and or electronic / acoustic instruments.
