With the Zoom ARQ AR-48, it can be that and so much more. Making music should be fun, easy, and freeing. Zoom ARQ AR-48 Aero RhythmTrak Drum Machine Synth Sequencer Looper Midi ControllerĪll-In-One Production and Live Performance Instrument I grow tired of overpaying & repairing old synths from eBay, or buying $1k+ devices, to meet my client’s really basic stand-alone needs.Specialty Traders is an Authorized Zoom Dealer! There’s a reason half broken Arps, Rolands, Akai MPCs and the ASRs are still in demand, and this line of LED tambourines sits on store shelves… How many people bought the SQ1 and thought it would be their main sequencer, I bet a lot of people who didn’t like the miniknobs would kill to get an ARP sequencer (for example) or a Roland MC-series copy for $200 or less… Please ZOOM guys, make a stand-alone, cheap, adult musician *real* stand alone sequencer. No light show just make it reliable… Add the 90’s drums and fx from the older units and you have a cheap winner that everyone would try. *reset* and make it better than an SQ-1, price it under US$250 and watch ZOOM reclaim the 80’s-90’s Alesis crown. I told them as did many other musicians and buyers… MAKE A DURABLE SMALL HARDWARE **STAND-ALONE** SEQUENCER with DinSync, MIDI, and CV 1v/oct. What makes it worth commenting on, is its sequencer and sampler capabilities… which if it did JUST that, or just sequenced, and wasn’t a 400 buck glow stick, it would be awesome. In essence the buyer is getting a EU$500 LED tambourine with a unremarkable software synth tacked on. This is a $50-100 product and NOT the center of anyone’s production rig, it requires too much PC/Mac interactivity, and the sounds are not comparable to other things of a similar price. I think ZOOM needs to really LISTEN to what people have been telling them at NAMM for a few years now: (I was one of them and heard others say the same): Keep making the recorders and FX units, stop with the Alesis-era gimmicks that put them under. But, it costs way, way too much and has way too many features that the live EDM/DJ audience just doesn’t use. If it was $50 and gave you some corny Kaossilator effect and you could wave it around live, every bad DJ on earth would have one. But that’s not how this thing works at all. The only people who would buy this is a live EDM DJ looking to breakup the monotony of their pre-programed set. The main problem with this device, is, it is putting way too much into an already unattractive idea. Optional Bluetooth connection (BTA-1 connector sold separately).USB port for computer integration and SD card slot.Dual 1/4″ line outputs, separate 3.5 mm mini stereo headphone output with dedicated volume control, and MIDI output.Play sounds chromatically, or choose from dozens of preset scales in any key.Audio capture from patterns and songs, from SD card, or from incoming audio signal.3.5 mm mini stereo input for phrase recording and loop creation.Dedicated buttons for record/play/pause, solo, mute, split, arpeggiate, and change effects.Built-in 3-axis accelerometer for triggering arpeggiator sounds and effects.Grip Detection automatically prevents accidental note triggering.16 velocity and pressure-sensitive pads with programmable color LEDs.Programmable synthesizer engine with three sub-oscillators.Onboard 32-step loop sequencer for creating individual patterns or complete songs.Use the Ring Controller as a handheld aerial instrument.16 adjustable Master Effects, including reverb, filters, delay, and more.Import WAV files into the internal synth engine’s oscillator.Includes 460 drum machine, synth, and instruments sounds.All-in-one drum machine, sequencer, synthesizer, looper, clip launcher, MIDI controller and live performance instrument.The ARQ AR-48 is a drum machine, sequencer, synthesizer, looper, clip launcher, MIDI controller and live performance instrument – and looks a bit like a flying saucer. Zoom has introduced the ARQ AR-48, a ‘more affordable’ version of its unique ARQ all-in-one production & live performance instrument.
