The iStomp™ works just like every other stompbox. Step on the footswitch to turn it on and off. Adjust the knobs to get the sound you want. The biggest difference between the iStomp and other stompboxes is you can completely change the iStomp to be any pedal in the entire pedal line. Simply connect your iPod touch®, iPhone®, or iPad® to the iStomp and select which pedal you’d like from the DigiTech® Stomp Shop™ App. In about the same time it takes to download a song you can change the iStomp from a distortion to a reverb, a phaser to a tube overdrive, or a delay to a chorus.

Features

  • iStomp works like all other stompboxes on the market
  • Turn the iStomp into any pedal available in the Stomp Shop
  • Stomp Shop offers more than 20 different pedals to choose from
  • More pedals will be continually added to the Stomp Shop

DigiTech Smart Cable (DSC for iOS)
The new DigiTech Smart Cable (DSC) is a proprietary cable developed by DigiTech in conjunction with Apple that allows direct communication between DigiTech products and iOS devices such as an iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad. The iStomp along with the Stomp Shop App are the first DigiTech products to incorporate the new DSC cable and DSC Port.

DigiTech Stomp Shop App
The DigiTech Stomp Shop is your connection to the complete line of iStomp pedals. From the app you can turn your iStomp into a completely different pedal, any pedal available in the Stomp Shop. In about the same time it takes to download a song you can change the iStomp from a distortion to a reverb, a phaser to a tube overdrive, or a delay to a chorus. The DigiTech Stomp Shop app is free to download from the App Store.

Stomp Shop Pedals
There are more than 20 different pedals to choose from with many more pedals coming soon. Each iStomp comes with two pedals-Total Recall Digital Delay and Redline Overdrive. The first time you connect to your iStomp you can choose one more pedal from the different DigiTech pedals for only $0.99. After that you can download new pedals for as little as $4.99. Some of the pedals available in the Stomp Shop are listed below.

Trial Period

Through the app you can listen to a demo of all the pedals but unlike all other stompboxes you load any effect to the iStomp for 5 minutes to see how the pedal sounds through your amps using your guitar.

My Pedals
The Stomp Shop saves a record of all the pedals you purchase. You can reload any pedal to your iStomp at any time.

Custom LED Color
You can choose one the color of the 9 dot LED light on their iStomp when you load a pedal from the Stomp Shop App. It is a great way to identify the different pedals when they are loaded on your iStomp.

The Audio Technica 700 Series Wireless systems offer the best value in multi-channel systems. So if you need lots of wireless microphones in the same location and are looking to save as much as possible then read on!

The 700 Series is available in several packages : Single Handheld, Presenter (Lavalier), Presenter Plus (Lavalier), Active (Headset), Guitar and Options.

Audio-Technica’s 700 Series wireless offers excellent features for the professional and amateur alike. The sound quality of the 700 series is at least as good as any system costing up to twice the price while the flexibility on offer is unrivalled in its class.

 

The 700 series is extremely easy to use – just dial up the required frequency on the transmitter and do the same for the receiver and it’s job done. You can then adjust Squelch settings if required. The 700 Systems features Audio Technica’s Tone Lock™ circuitry which improves signal stability to the very highest standards.

 

These easy-to-use wireless systems feature eight selectable frequency-coordinated channels, diversity operation for increased range/reliability, automatic frequency scanning, squelch and more.

The 700 Series is available on Channel 38 and on Channel 70 with 8 selectable frequencies within each Channel. However, it must be noted that new government regulations affect the use of wireless systems such that only 4 of the Channel 70 frequencies may be used legally and licence free in the UK. All 8 of the frequencies within Channel 70 are legal in the UK however their use does require a licence which can be purchased from http://www.jfmg.co.uk/

 

This does mean however that you can run up 12 simultaneous channels in the same location using a mix of 4 Channel 70 systems and 8 Channel 38 systems. And at the price of the ATW 700 Series this is excellent value indeed!

The single handheld system features a unidirectional dynamic microphone which offers approximately 12 hours of use with Two 1.5V AA Batteries. The microhone has pleasant clear response and is ideal vocal performance and speech.

The Presenter Plus system features a far better lavalier microphone in the Pro 92. This is a highly sensitive condenser microphone which is optimised for vocal articulation and speech. Whereas the standard presenter system features a dynamic microphone which although excellent for the price – will not deliver as good results as the Presenter Plus system.

 

The lavalier and headset systems use the T701 belt-pack transmitter which again uses 2 x 1.2v AA batteries lasting for appx 8 hours of use. The lavalier or headset microphones plug in to the T701 belt-pack transmitter via a supplied special mini connector. The guitar system is supplied with a special cable that allows the guitar to be plugged into the transmitter.

 

Please contact anyone at Millennium if you need any more details.

Akai Miniak Synthesizer

That's right the Akai <b>MINIAK</b> Micro Synthesiser - is back! The Miniak is a powerful performance and production synth with phrase and step sequencing, a built-in drum machine/rhythm sequencer, an arpeggiator, a 40-band vocoder, stereo effects, and a virtual analog synth engine developed in partnership with the world-class Alesis synth team. And while the compact design of the MINIAK , shines on stage, it is also just as at home in the production studio giving the producer and recording musician 24-bit audio resolution.

Akai have produced a limited quantity of this excellent little synth becuase the huge demand was never satisfied last year.

The MINIAK sound is huge - it gives you eight multi-timbral voices with three oscillators. So you can create your own interesting and unique sounds or browse thru over 600 preset sounds and then store up to 1,000 of your own programs in the MINIAK.

The synth also has two multi-mode filters, three envelope generators, two LFOs, stereo effects, and a 40-band vocoder. Plus the MINIAK has a sequencer with step and dynamic real time phrase sequencing, a drum machine/rhythm sequencer, and an arpeggiator to aid in creating interesting and diverse musical patterns and landscapes!

To complete the package the instrument features high-resolution, 24-bit balanced 1/4" inputs and outputs. The MINIAK has a 37-key semi-weighted, velocity sensitive keyboard and so is excellent for performance. It can also be used as a sound source for external MIDI control.

The MINIAK has a full arsenal of magnificent stereo effects such as Chorus, Feedback, Theta Flanger (Phaser + Flanger), Thru Zero Flanger, Super Phaser, Notch Frequency, String Phaser, 40-Band Vocoder, Analysis Gain, Sibilance Boost, Band Shift, Synthesis Input, Analysis Signal In, Analysis Mix, six types of Delay, and three types of Reverbs.

With all the massive sound generation and processing power of the MINIAK, the sounds you can create are as wild as your imagination and as easy as twisting a few knobs. PLUS building  sonic soundscapes with the sequencer and arpeggiator couldn't be simpler.

Main features at a glance

  • Eight voices, each with three oscillators
  • Up to eight multi-timbral parts with stereo effects and 40-band vocoder
  • Two multi-mode filters, three envelope generators, two LFOs, sample and hold,
