Pearl malletSTATION EM Pro 2.0 Octave Control Module

The Pearl malletSTATION EM Pro 2.0 Octave Control Module expands upon the innovative design of the EM1 by adding a 32-bit multiprocessor resulting in increased bar precision, accuracy, and extended dynamic range. The EM Pro features a full-color, multi-line screen for navigation, programmable backlit touch-sensitive buttons and control sliders, both USB and 5-pin MIDI connectivity. The standard design is 2.0 octaves but expansion modules are available increasing the range to 5.0 octaves.

One of the biggest features of the EM Pro is the option of adding a Quad-Core ARM 64-bit 2.0GHz processor sound card enabling complete freedom from a computer tether during live performance.

Pearl designed the mallSTATION series with Keith McMillen Instruments, a well-known designer of midi keyboards and controllers. Keith McMillen's Smart Fabric technology is a big step forward in mallet controller design. This technology and silicone bar material provides a very natural playing feeling and response, while also being extremely sensitive. The EMC pads support dampening and after touch, which can be adjusted and customized via software.
