The POD Studio KB37 is a powerful software and hardware recording
solution merged with a 37-key MIDI controller. POD Studio KB37 includes
an audio interface with two microphone inputs with phantom power, two
guitar/bass inputs, and stereo line inputs for gear such as keyboards
and drum machines. You also get the POD Farm plug-in, which offers up a
dream collection of classic and modern amplifiers, stompboxes, studio
effects, and even vocal preamplifiers, so you can achieve virtually any
sound imaginable with Line 6's POD Studio KB37!
Powerful and versatile 5-channel USB audio interface
At the heart of POD Studio KB37 is the interface - and it's Line 6's
most powerful and stylish yet. On top of classy VU metering, which is
assignable, the interface features an array of inputs and outputs, so
you're ready to record all the essential sources. There are two
microphone inputs with dedicated gain controls, plus phantom power is
available for both of the inputs for your condenser microphones. Two
instrument inputs are included for directly plugging in a guitar or
bass, and a headphone output is available for conveniently monitoring
while you're tracking. There are also stereo 1/4" inputs for your
line-level gear and 1/4" and S/PDIF outputs for monitoring. When it
comes time to add virtual instruments to your tracks, lay them down
with ease thanks to the built-in 37-key MIDI controller.
POD Farm plug-in software with killer models and effects
In addition to the powerful audio interface, you also get Line 6's
enhanced POD Farm software, which can be used as an AU, RTAS, or VST
plug-in within your favorite DAW. POD Farm software includes killer
models of music history's most sought after pieces of gear - from
amplifiers to stompboxes to studio effects and even vocal
preamplifiers! There are 18 immortal guitar amps, 24 guitar cabinets,
five bass amps, five bass cabinets, 29 stompboxes, and six microphone
preamplifiers. You can set up your signal chain as easily as dragging
and dropping and create everything from classic tones to mind-blowing
original sounds. All of the gear offers up total tweakability - just
like the original gear.
