The Marschall Acoustics
Instruments Digital Audio Workstation Mk III (continued)
A digital audio workstation that can
be connected to MIDI controllers. Capable of simulating large
pipe organs, theatre organs, and
'classic
synthesizers' and virtually all popular effects. It is also has
substantial
capabilities
for MIDI composition, arranging, scoring, and rendering in addition to
'ordinary' digital audio recording and audio/video editing.
The software heart of the
Marschall Acoustics Digital Audio Workstation MKIII is an enhanced OEM version
of Fervent Software's STG2 audio content creation real-time Linux distribution.
Workstations for some customers have also included the Ubuntu Studio multimedia real-time
Linux distribution as a dual-boot option.The MAI Audio
Workstation includes
seamless stable integrated recording (Ardour),
MIDI editing, scoring,
arranging (Rosegarden),
synthesis, and effects.
Included
software
synthesizers include those of classic synths and electronic organs, sophisticated drum
machines, orchestral instruments, and pipe organs. The included effects pretty
much cover the functionality of common
professional recording studio effects
boxes over the history of recorded music. A reasonably complete set of
tools to facilitate the creation of scores and soundtracks for video is
also included.Custom
configurations catering to customer specific requirements are
available. Options delivered in the
past have included greater video content creation and editing capabilities,
greater audio signal analysis and display functions, and even more organ (electronic
and pipe) simulators and synthesizers.

The
above is an example of our
giant Theatre/Concert organ emulator being patched through JACK.
Effects may be inserted at this stage, connections to recording
packages, and outputs routed to any of the audio output channels.
Below
is an example of using the Rosegarden MIDI editor, scorer,
and
arranger. Not only are top quality band and orchestral
sounds
playable from any MIDI keyboard but they are also accessible from the
major compositional tools.
Other
compositional tools include the LMMS
package which is especially suited to the creation of modern
"Techno" dance and video soundtracks. It is capable of
traditional styles of music and can access the range of synthesizers
and effects available on the workstation. A screenshot of the
LMMS package running on the workstation is shown below:
