Seamless Computer Connectivity

module, SonicCell is equipped with a built-in USB audio interface.
Simply connect SonicCell directly to your computer’s USB port, and you
can record and create music with no additional hardware required. You
can even plug a microphone, guitar, or other instruments into SonicCell
and record your live audio tracks directly into your computer. And
since SonicCell can help minimize the burden on the computer’s
processor, you’ll enjoy more efficient and stable performance. As an
added bonus, a free copy of Cakewalk's Sonar LE recording software
included with every SonicCell sold, as is a plug-in style PC software
editor, which makes sound designing and effects programming fast and
friendly. SonicCell is the perfect all-in-one solution for synthesis
and recording.
Ultra-Handy Backing Machine
In addition to its high-quality synthesis and audio-interface
functions, SonicCell can be used as a virtual backing band. Simply
create a playlist of your songs or backing tracks with the software
Playback Editor (included free with SonicCell), and transfer the
playlist to a commercially available USB memory stick. Insert the stick
into SonicCell’s USB port, and it will become a stand-alone song player
that you can play and control onstage or anywhere you perform.
SonicCell can play back WAV, AIFF, and MP3 files. It evens plays
