SONUSCORE Origins Volume 4: Oud and Qanun Virtual Instrumentis a Kontakt-powered plucked-string instrument library that consists of a lute-type oud from the Middle Eastern and North African regions, and a zither-like Arabian qanun. When combined in the Multi-Arpeggio Designer (MAD), the instruments produce melodramatic sounds, great for scoring middle-eastern colors and textures on the fly.

The instruments can be played as single notes or as rhythmical patterns generated by the Multi-Arpeggio Designer. Each instrument has its own independent, fully controllable arpeggiating system that lets them react to each other, with a human feel. The library comes with over 100 MAD arpeggio presets, which combine both instruments to help you quickly create harmonic patterns, interlocking rhythms, and ethnic soundscapes.

For more possibilities to sculpt the tonal character of your sound, Origins Volume 4 comes with 12 Color presets, all radically different in character, and with settings ranging from synthetic leads to ambient sounds. MAD presets and Color presets can be combined, resulting in 1080 predefined combinations.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Most wall volume controls I see are for 70v speaker systems. Is this safe to use with a standard power amp and PA speakers?

A: Yes, it is safe to use.

Q: 2. What cable do I need to connect it to my laptop? It has USB A & C ports.

A: You'll need to hook them up with xlr cables to an external soundcard, like a recording interface, that can send a balanced analog signal. The inputs of of the 8010s accept analog XLR connections. An interface or mixer that has XLR or 1/4" TRS outputs will connect to these with ease

Q: 3. why is the volume control 1/8in? this seems incredibly strange, given that the speakers and subwoofer both require XLR inputs, and are likely being fed either from the XLR output of a mixer, or the RCA output of a DAC. The speakers specifically state that they shouldn't be fed using an amplified signal, so that would rule out sources like an ipad, iphone, or computer.

A: The product is meant for convenience when monitoring straight out of a computer minijack. The volume control input and output have 3.5 mm stereo male and female connectors providing immediate connectivity with most computers and laptops, MP3 players and game stations. A converter cable converting 2 x RCA to 3.5 mm stereo (female) is needed for audio equipment with RCA outputs. A converter cable converting 3.5 mm stereo (male) to 2 x XLR (male) is needed to use 9000A Stereo Volume Control with Genelec monitor loudspeakers having XLR input. These cables can be obtained from your authorized Genelec dealer. The connecting cable on 9000A is Y-shaped. After 1 meter (3 ft 3") from the control knob the single cable splits into two 1 meter (3 ft 3") cables, one for audio input, one for audio output.

Q: 4. Can phantom power pass through these?

A: This is designed as a volume control for line level devices. Sescom does not recommend this for use as a microphone level control, and it does not pass phantom power.

Q: 5. I orderd these and it seems the product has a mono output, at least that is what it is doing to my audio. Can you confirm if this is a stereo output?

A: It is stereo with individual Left and Right inputs and outputs. None of the individual ins or outs is stereo, you need to connect to both sides.

Q: 6. WHAT INPUT FROM AMP AND OUTPUT TO SPEAKERS?

A: It uses speaker wire. The volume control interrupts the regular wiring.

Q: 7. Would this work for headphones as well?

A: Yes, this will work with headphones. Note however that it will not amplify the signal as it's a passive device, it will only allow you to attenuate it down.

Q: 8. The quality of the controller is not very good. There are points where you face sudden changes of the volume. Is this normal? Can I use a different controller with my CR8S subwoofer?

A: Unfortunately not, other controllers do not work with the Mackie subwoofer.

Q: 9. Is this unit a good choice for use with Mackie HR824 (active) connected to a PC?

A: The Genelec 9000A Stereo Volume Control is really intended for Genelec monitors. It should work with your Mackies with a Y cable. 3.5mm male to two male B&H # HOYCRTRSP10. The 3.5mm male connector on the Genelec 9000A goes into the 3.5m output from your computer. Then the 3.5mm male of the Y cable goes into the female input of the Genelec cable. Then take the two male connectors and plug them into your speakers.

Q: 10. Between this 8010 and 8010A white version bh have. what is Difference ? Just color? Or ia there any difference more than that?

A: Both monitors are the same model. The only difference between the two is the color. B&H #GE8010AP is the producer finish and B&H # GE8010AW is the same monitor in white finish.
