NAMM: CME

http://www.cme-pro.com

Images of the U-Key in pink and blue and the VX-60.

"CME professional will release U-Key - the first mobiltone keyboard of the world during winter NAMM 2006. It will fill the gap of the particular hardware for composing cell phone ring, which has the market of billions of dollar.

U-Key uses ultra thin full action semi-weighted keys and the total ply of U-Key is only 3.7cm, but the key feel of U-Key is as same as keyboards in standard ply. U-Key has build in high 64-polyphony high quality mobile phone sound module, and internal high fidelity speaker droved by digitally amplifier. U-Key also builds in many MIDI songs and accompaniment in different styles, including loop variation and chord change, which are elaborate made by professional musicians and can be sprung by U-Key's unique 'PadStyle'. All MIDI songs and styles can be downloaded from Internet and transferred into U-Key via USB. U-Key supplies a brand new Game mode, users could use this function and music books with U-Key to test their skill of performance, and students could learn many tips in this mode. U-Key is the first mobiltone keyboard that has build in muiti ethical scales of the world, and it will surprise you, no matter you want to play Arabian music of Asian music. U-CTRL is a brand new concept by CME, it provides the easiest way to communicate between controller and music software. You do not need to load template or presets, just press U-CTRL button and all the controllers for software you may use will be ready.

U-Key supplies more than 20 user-defined controllers in different types, including joystick, trigger pads, encoder for data entry, pedals. All controllers are programmable and all functions of U-Key can be quickly and easily setup by press certain keys. User can save their controller settings into U-Key and load at any time they want. U-Key has plug and plays USB MIDI driver for Windows XP / MAC OSX, and it can be powered via USB. With U-Key's line out, phone out and compact cubage, it's a wise idea to use U-Key for mobile composing on laptops.

U-Key will follow CME's persistent competitive price like their other products as well."

WIDI-XU “Flash Disk-Like” Wireless MIDI Interface

"CME is proud to announce the WIDI-XU, the world’s first “flash disk-like” wireless MIDI interface. The WIDI-XU is the smallest member of the WIDI family, needing no MIDI IN/OUT port -- just an USB plug. Simply plug it into your computer, to enable wireless Duplex MIDI data transfer with other CME WIDI products. The WIDI-XU is quite compact and cheap, making it a great choice as a wireless MIDI system for computer use. The WIDI-XU even provides one-to-multi communication; one WIDI-XU can connect to many wireless MIDI devices, up to 64 MIDI channels. The WIDI-XU also has the same capability as other larger WIDI products, for example: 80m maximum wireless range, powerful error correction with automatic notes-off and on-line detection etc. Free yourself from the restrictions of the MIDI cable! For a musician, the WIDI-XU should be an indispensable piece of hardware, just like a flash disk. When musicians come together, turn on your WIDI, and start a wireless MIDI party.
