Controlling your DAW in the recording studio
Whether you’re working in a major recording studio, or have built your own home studio recording system, the pok will help you do your work more easily, and increase your production. Because the pok operates your DAW by recreating the actions of the keyboard commands in your audio recording software, it is incredibly versatile.
In fact, the pok works with any application that offers keyboard shortcuts, and most recording systems do. And with this amazing DAW controller at your feet, you won’t have to continually run back and forth between your recording workstation and your instrument. You can focus on playing!
Controlling your DAW on stage
More and more bands and artists are using Digital Audio Workstations on stage to enhance their sound. From just a few additional to tracks to a complete backing band, DAWs are an integral part of many shows. However, controlling a DAW on stage becomes problematic, when you need your hands to play your instrument! Not to mention the havoc it wreaks with your stage presence when you constantly need to run back to your computer keyboard to press buttons.
With the pok, you can control those same functions with a user-friendly footswitch. That means you can focus on playing and performing, and yet maintain the full functionality of your DAW.
