The best of the legendary Replica delay, now with tap tempo!

The Reptile delay pedal was a milestone in T-Rex Engineering history, where they managed to squeeze all the great sound and most of the features of their revered Replica delay into a pedal that any guitarist could afford. Now, T-Rex is pleased to bring you Reptile 2 Digital Delay, the next step in the evolution of this sonic savage for guitar and bass.

"Baby brother" sprouts Tap Tempo
Tap tempo-the ability to control the tempo of your delay by tapping a button with your foot while you play-is what separated the men from the boys in the first generation of Replica-family delays. Not anymore. With the Reptile 2, T-Rex brought their renowned tap tempo function to the Replica's "baby brother." Tap tempo gives you ultimate control of your delay on stage by letting you match the speed of your delay effect to the tempo of your music without ever missing a beat.

Enhanced Flutter section
Besides Tap Tempo, Reptile 2 also features an enhanced Flutter section with a new Tone control. Flutter introduces a touch of random-sounding warble to your delay for that great retro tape-effect sound. The Tone control lets you take the top end off your delayed repeats for an even more authentic vintage tone.

In the Reptile 2, you'll find a gorgeous-sounding delay that easily beats the competition and comes closer than ever to offering the total Replica control, but at a price you can afford even if you're not (yet) a rock star.

Intuitive with detailed presets.

The Impact LX88 is a USB keyboard controller designed for keyboard players looking for extra reach. From the 88 note, semi-weighted velocity sensitive keyboard, to the 8 velocity sensitive pads, to the rubberized fader caps and its low-profile and light-weight design, Impact LX88 feels, looks, performs on par with more expensive controllers. DAW integration with most of the popular DAWs makes it easy to get going and a breeze to set up.

The Keyboard

The 88 note semi-weighted, velocity sensitive keyboard delivers a balanced medium tension. The full-size, piano-style keys are covered to protect against dirt and dust while also complementing the Impact LX88 design. With 4 velocity curves gradually increasing in dynamics, there is choice for any playing style. If you don't need velocity, 3 fixed velocity levels supply consistent output. Octave and transpose buttons as well as pitch bend and modulation wheels are within reach, so you quickly can shift the keyboard up or down as needed, or apply additional articulation with the wheels.

The Buttons

The Impact LX88 keyboard can send on up to 3 zones at the same time. Press Layer to add the layer zone and split to add the split zone. When split or layer is active, the corresponding LED button is lit so there is no confusion. Each zone can be programmed to send on its own MIDI channel with settings either pre-programmed or adjustable during performance.

Four functions are selectable on the fly so you can make important changes at any time, even while you play. A key combination makes assignment quick and easy with the LED display telling you which function you have selected. Choices include sending out MIDI Program Messages, change the Global MIDI Channel or select any of Impact LX88's 5 user presets with either the Octave or Transpose buttons. Pressing either split or layer while pressing the Transpose buttons will change the setting currently assigned for the corresponding zone.

The Control

Nine 30mm faders, 9 MIDI buttons and 8 encoders are at the center of Impact LX88's control panel. Each control is fully programmable to send any MIDI CC message for use with hardware or software MIDI products. Used with Nektar DAW integration, the controls take on a life of their own, providing flexible pre-mapped DAW control giving you the best of both worlds. Control settings can be stored in any of the 5 Impact LX88 presets for recall at any time. And if you switch Null on for Presets, any parameter values are stored when you change presets so you avoid parameter jumping.

The Pads

For groove and beat creation Impact LX88'S 8 velocity-sensitive pads make life easy. Each pad can be assigned any MIDI note number or MIDI cc message, for use as MIDI trigger or toggle buttons. But the best part is the "Pad Learn" feature, which allows you to just select a pad, play the note or drum sound you want on the keyboard and assignment is done. No complex menus for a task that's essential for getting the most out of your pads. Assignments are stored over power cycling so you don't lose your settings when you switch your system off for the night. In addition, 4 pad map locations can store your settings for future recall.

The DAW Control

Impact LX88 offers the same powerful Nektar DAW integration support as it's Impact LX siblings and is compatible with most popular DAWs. A common workflow gives access to many of the functions you are most likely to need when recording and performing with your Impact LX88. The best part is that it's all done for you. All you have to do is complete the installation process and start making music. Impact LX DAW integration currently supports Cubase, Digital Performer, Garageband, Logic, Nuendo, Reaper, Reason, Sonar and Studio One. DAWs are different and the Impact LX DAW integration caters for each DAWs uniqueness while maintaining a common workflow. Relying on your computer screen for constant feedback, important and essential windows related to what you are controlling can be open and closed as needed, right from Impact LX88. The following is a brief overview of the common workflow.

The Transport

The six dedicated transport buttons are always within reach and mapped to control Cycle, Rewind, Forward, Stop, Play and Record. Press Shift to get access to alternate functions such as Goto L, Set L, Set R, Undo, Click and Mode*. Additional alternate DAW functions include Track up/down and Patch up/down to change your instrument patches are available via the display buttons.

STUDIO ONE™ ARTIST

The Dangerous Music Monitor ST is the gold standard for studio reference. Input source selection, speaker switching, cue system, talkback functions, and headphone amplification are all neatly tucked into one rack space and controlled via the comprehensive, customizable remote. As with every Dangerous Music product, painstaking measures are taken to create complete functionality with ZERO audio compromise. Expansion to 5.1 and beyond is simple: just add the Monitor SR and/or the Additional Switching System. The Monitor ST solves the conundrum of today's complex monitoring world, without masking reality.

The Dangerous Music Legacy:

"Audio Integrity: non-negotiable." This is the credo upon which Dangerous Music is founded. Conceived and designed by end users-not by engineers in lab coats--the results are products that resurrect dynamic range, punch, intelligibility and emotion. These high-fidelity, uncompromised signal paths are achieved by harnessing over 20 years of Chris Muth's design wizardry; creator of infamous custom black boxes for world class facilities like Hit Factory, Masterdisk, Absolute Audio and Sterling Sound Mastering. Then the critical listening skills of golden-eared luminaries are applied, with the result being musical tools that fulfill the actual needs of today's flexible computer based studio.

Is Your Audio A Hostage?Monitoring is the most crucial stage in the audio chain. An inferior system facilitates poor mix decisions by forcing you to compensate for its shortcomings. For example, if transients are choked by cheap components and weak designs, the high-end you added to the mix will spike like Mount Everest in the real world. When evaluating a new microphone, preamp or EQ, how can you judge their performance without honest monitoring? The Monitor ST is the outcome of real world experience combined with mastering grade components. Don't let a lesser monitor rig hold your audio hostage.
