Remote 25 Audio Extreme - Nothing can match this cute little tool for features, usability and value.

A semi-weighted two octave keyboard action with aftertouch
At the heart of the Remote 25 Audio Extreme is a superb action, semi-weighted keyboard with aftertouch. Unlike many controllers, you can play your favourite software synth or sampler with the care and precise control that can make a huge difference to the final performance.

Hands on responsive control for every application
The ergonomically designed front panel is inviting and simple to use. And it’s all there - 8 rotary potentiometers, 8 sliders, 8 rotary encoders and 24 switches that are entirely programmable. All controls can be named and memorised as a collection with a group template name, then saved in any one of the 64 template memories.

Use anywhere portability and re-chargeable power
Remote 25 Audio Extreme may be powered by 6x C-size alkaline / rechargeable batteries or external mains PSU. When connected to a computer via USB, rechargeable batteries are charged without the need of a mains re-charger.

Colour Coded Ident Strips
With most controllers which feature ‘soft controls’ you never know which knob or which button controls which function. Not so with Remote 25 Audio Extreme as it ships with loads of handy coloured control ident strips which, when used with the pre-programmed templates makes for easy and intuitive control of the software application / plug-in. Additional strips are also in the box for you to customise to your own templates.

Massive set of 64 template memories with over 60 parameters
To get up and running fast, the Remote 25 Audio Extreme is shipped with over 50 user pre-programmed templates to control many popular hardware and software instruments. In addition you can create and save your own templates by combining any data from any preset. More templates will be available from www.novationmusic.com

X / Y Touchpad for total expression
Indicative of Novation’s forward thinking design is the Touchpad. Being fully assignable and programmable in both X (side-to-side) and Y (up-and-down), stunning and unique performance effects are just a ‘finger-glide’ away. Imagine setting a distortion amount and a pan position on the left to right movement and an LFO speed and filter cut-off on the top to bottom movement - Total expressive and creative control.

Dedicated Transport Controls and fast template function buttons
Total control over your sequencer’s transport and locate functions are yours via the dedicated transport and four function button controls. Select a new template, scroll through templates, send snapshots, transmit a panic command, etc. this kind of instant flexibility will streamline your working practice.

Built In USB / MIDI Interface
Shipped with Windows USB drivers, just plug into the USB port, install the driver software and the Remote 25 Audio Extreme is fully operational. Alternatively if your computer system does not have USB or if you have a Mac, then simply plug into the MIDI ports until Mac USB drivers are available (expected late summer). The Remote 25 Audio Extreme provides two MIDI Out ports, one MIDI thru port and one MIDI In port. Information originating from the Remote 25 Audio Extreme keyboard or its controls can be sent directly to the USB port and / or any of the MIDI out ports. The MIDI ports can be used to integrate the rest of your MIDI gear into your computer system. Cool.
