Each set is available in 7 pitches and pitch can be shifted with just a click when creating a track. The new free Audio Remote app can be used to operate the virtual Pads and all virtual instruments in Music Maker by smartphone or tablet.
For exciting live performances, MAGIX Music Maker 2016 Live Performer comes with USB pad controller hardware for operating Live Pad mode. The compact USB pad controller has been developed specifically for Music Maker 2016 Live and works perfectly with the virtual Pads. It comprises a velocity-sensitive keyboard with 25 keys as well as 8 knobs that are ideal for improvising, producing and composing music.
MAGIX Music Maker 2016 Live has a whole range of options for bringing musical ideas to life. Combine professionally produced sounds and loops by drag & drop, record your own vocals in studio quality and compose new melodies with the MIDI editor.
