RECORDING - The pok makes DAW recording hands-free

For musicians who self-record, from either an isolation booth or from a distance away from their DAW, the pok allows for hands-free remote operation during recording sessions. Introduced into the marketplace in March 2007 by X-Tempo Designs, the pok (pedal operated keyboard) is the world’s first completely wireless DAW foot controller.

Compatible with popular Mac and PC-based audio recording software such as Pro Tools, Digital Performer, GarageBand, Logic, Cubase, and Ableton Live, the pok enables hands-free wireless remote control for DJs, performers and self-recording musicians alike. With a 70 foot remote range, the pok has added an exciting new dimension to DAW recording and activation.

For Guitarist/Songwriter/Producer, Michael Elsner, the pok is a “must-have for anyone who must act as their own engineer while recording themselves”. Bass Player/Singer/Songwriter Rhonda Smith agrees: “The pok is a great addition to my Pro Tools studio because it allows me to record and punch bass tracks virtually hands-free.”

The pok is a different kind of pedal board offering a whole new world of functionality. Leaving musicians’ hands free to play, the pok is a must-have in the studio and on the stage. The pok retails for $449 and can be purchased directly from the manufacturer at http://www.x-tempozone.com.
