EDIT: We didn’t pick a winner today, so watch this THURSDAY, June 17th from 5-6pm CST as we try to pick another winner. Remember, you have to watch to WIN!
A month ago, we partnered with our friends at Kevinnottingham.com, SOHH.com, Stupiddope.com and Mypersonalproducer.com to randomly find an Open Labs blog reader to win a MiKo LXD just for reading our blog and visiting our particpating partner’s websites. Well, we finally picked a winner…but we added a CATCH!
Our selected winner (we aren’t telling you who you are, YET!) MUST be watching our live webcast, “O-Live” on Tuesday, June 15th, from 5-6pm, CST. If we say your name, you must call Open Labs at 1-877-978-0888 within 15 minutes of your name being called to verify your information and claim your prize! If you aren’t watching, you can’t win! If no one calls within 15 minutes, we will pick another name at random from our list of participants.
Tell all your friends and good luck! Watch the webcast at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/openlabs!
Open Labs Announces Release of Open RiFF 2.0
Posted by jessica on June 9th, 2010 | 2 comments
From the Live Music Capital of the World, Austin, Texas, Open Labs, the recognized leader in innovative, computer-based Music Production Stations, is pleased to announce its first major software upgrade to its VST Live Host – Open RiFF 2.0.
This release of Riff 2.0 follows closely behind the launch of Open Labs’ newest Musical Production Stations, Gen6. As one of the three key elements of the Open Labs Musical Operating Environment, Open RiFF 2.0 offers all users increased functionality, ease of use and simplicity of work flow over the previous version, RiFF 1.3.
With Open RiFF 2.0, Open Labs users now have a familiar, search based sound browser which allows users to browse and audition sounds more easily. Using a singular search window, the thousands of sounds found in the Open Labs NeKo and MiKo lines can be identified by musical instrument, musical genre or familiar nicknames.
Along with this increased functionality, there has been a significant improvement in Midi control, which allows for ease of use in both live performance and with the stage control of instruments.
Nick O’ Toole, film composer and Tour Relations Director for Open Labs said, “Finally a VST host that allows Midi information to flow out to other devices. This kind of functionality has been a long-time coming for Production Stations. Being able to send and receive Midi information, including program change information and having control on a song-by-song, patch-by-patch basis is incredibly helpful for guys with complex systems on tour or in the studio. The artists have asked for this kind of functionality and Open Labs has delivered it.”
Open RiFF 2.0 also offers one-touch performance, which will allow Open Labs users to record Midi tracks in more of a simplistic manner. At the same time, the user does not need to have use an external mouse or keyboard to manipulate Open RiFF 2.0.
Open RiFF 2.0 will be included in all Gen6 Music Production Stations. For all 2010 A-Stock purchases, Open RiFF 2.0 will be available at no charge. For all 2010 B-Stock Purchases, Open RiFF 2.0 can be purchased for $29.99. For Open Labs users with Gen5 Music Production Stations, Open RiFF 2.0 can be purchased for $49.99. For any Open Labs users with Gen4 and older Production Stations, Open RiFF 2.0 can be purchased for $99. Detailed information about Open RiFF 2.0 is available at www.openlabs.com/openriff.
A live demonstration will be available on Open Labs’ live Ustream webcast, Thursday, June 10th, 2010 from 5:00pm-6:00pm, CST. The webcast can be viewed at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/openlabs.

The Dead Presidents Society is a group of friends who share a passion for the influence of technology on music, and who meet every Thursday morning at a coffee house in Berkeley, California.
