A portable professional music studio with plenty of I/O, fast CPU, 61-keys, 15" touchscreen, software, and more.

Perfect for studios, producers, and artists-on-the-go, the Gen5 NeKo EX5 is based on the superior quality and established reputation of Open Labs' acclaimed L-series workstations. The Gen5 E-Series products feature the same high-grade aircraft aluminum chassis, innovative touchscreen capabilities and pristine audio quality as the L-series. The Gen5 NeKo EX5 includes more than 7,500 high-quality preset sounds, a fully licensed version of Reaper (DAW), their live virtual instrument host Riff, and practically unlimited capability for third-party plug-ins, VSTi's and applications including Pro Tools, Native Instruments, Cubase, Ableton, Reason, and more.

The Open Labs NeKo EX5 DAW ships complete with more than 7,500 high-quality sounds, as mentioned above, a 15" touchscreen for hands-on control of any software parameter and a two-button touch pad.

Giving it the power to do all it can do for your music, it has an Intel Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz processor with 2GB of RAM. To save your ideas, the Open Labs EX5 DAW has a 500GB hard drive, and a dual-layer CD/DVD burner for sharing them when they are polished. It comes with a Windows OS specifically configured for music production by Open and is internet-ready for sharing your finished compositions or for sharing ideas quickly.

Other features on this keyboard workstation include a Master Control Panel with transport controls, 4-plus-1 mappable faders, transpose functions, and more; a 37-key semi-weighted, synth-action keyboard with after-touch; integrated "QWERTY" keyboard panel; and comprehensive I/O capable of up to 24-bit/96KHz audio with 4 In/6 out including 2 phantom-powered mic-preamps with instrument inputs, S/PDIF I/O, MIDI I/O, 4 USB 2.0 ports (2 external/2 internal), 1 Firewire 400 port, 1 VGA Video port, and 1 Ethernet port.
