Radial Engineering Ltd. announces the StageBug SB-1, an ultra-compact direct box designed to fit inside the string pocket of a guitar case!

Designed primarily for acoustic guitars, the StageBug SB-1 is an ultra compact active direct box that measures less than 2" wide x 3.85" long x and only 1.3" high. (5.1 cm x 9.8 cm x 3.3 cm) and is powered using standard 48V phantom power.

The patented rubber less FLK Light Sensor Technology developed especially for our LACHNIT FLK keyboards is a real improvement for dynamic keyboards and unique on the market.

The light sensors measure the speed of the key driven "Hammer" not the speed of the key itself. So timing of key movement to striking point (sound on set) is improved. That's more authentic to the characteristics of a Concert Grand action.

There are no rubber contacts under the keys. So you don't have to press strange materials with your sensitive fingers. You have much more sense for the so important last third of the key travel and you will not exhaust so fast. Light sensors work much more accurate.

Featuring mic and instrument inputs, iOS interfacing, and a quality 2.1 Channel audio system, the CUBE Lite MONITOR is perfect for enjoying music at home with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Connect your iOS device to the i-CUBE LINK jack, and then launch the free CUBE JAM app to play, record, and take advantage of great practice tools like speed/pitch adjustment, Center Cancel for minus-one tracks, and more. Stereo speakers and an integrated subwoofer provide rich sound that fills the room, while onboard effects offer pleasing ambience for singing and playing instruments.

This is the first and only comprehensive manual for this app on the market, not just a QuickStartGuide or a short book with a few cherry-picked features.

This Manual explains Apple's popular music production application "GarageBand for the iPad" with rich illustrations and diagrams that are not found in any other manual. It's cover new concepts like iCloud and iTunes File Sharing in great details and that knowledge is extremely useful for other applications too.
