The new Audio Kontrol 1 is a high-end audio interface. Offering crystal-clear 192 kHz, 24 bit-quality, it is far more than just a sound card. Freely assignable buttons and controller knob combined with advanced MIDI and key command functionality grant full control of software applications -- setup files for popular programs ensure its hassle-free. Audio Kontrol 1 merges innovation and quality and does so with an ear for practicality.
Feature:
I like the virtual instruments ( Keyboard collection )and the Guitar Combos ( Specially Vox AC30..) are nice.Im not using the control buttons but maybe for a DJing those could be useful.Ive just tested them and were OK.Not used Cubase4 cause I have SX3, but thats a good option for anyone who doesnt have a DAW software.
Quality:
Extremely wel made...again, no problems.
Value:
good price.
Desirability:
I like the design.
Sound:
Amazing, specially at this price. I used many sound cards such as,Echo Gina, Yamaha DSP Factory, M-Audio AudioFile...and AK1 is simply better.Clear and fat sound.
Ease of Use:
Installing was a breeze, and if you want to use the control on the top there will be no problem at all.I cant understand those people complaining about AK1.My computer is a very simple one:Sony VAIO 1.7 Core Dual2 / 1 giga RAM / Win XP, SP2, Cubase SX3 and Sound Forge7.So, no clics, no fade in bug and no noises, as I said AK1 is just a good USB soundcard working perfect in my home studio.
Support:
didnt have any problem, and I think the websites OK and the available updates are handy.
Overall:
I, very happy with AK1 and I strongly recomend as a project studio soundcard.
