DAWs which support MCU (in addition to those which support HUI) include Ardour, [11] Ableton Live, Studio One, Cubase, and Reason. ACID Pro 9 and ACID Pro Next from MAGIX also support MCU. [ 12 ] An Arduino library has also implemented a large portion of MCU, enabling control surfaces to be built with Arduino-compatible microcontrollers.
The Akai S3000XL [3] is a sampler with 32 polyphonic voices, and 2 MB of built-in RAM.. For adding sounds to the sampler, the S3000XL features a 3.5" floppy drive that reads Akai-formatted floppies, and a SCSI port which allows for connection to an external storage device (such as a zip drive or external hard disk), a CD reader, or a computer for editing samples via the MESA editor.
