x1 ..the ultimate control surface for Studio One..THANK YOU for your purchase and support. arts|UNMUTED x1 v2 is the next step in my search for a perfect DAW

controller. I took it back to the drawing board and completely rewrote the code to implement new solu-

tions and GUI. And putting all false modesty aside, the results are head and shoulders above its prede-

cessor. Sleek, flat design ensures great visibility and makes x1 an ideal companion for your piano, synth

or console. Workflow is exceptional - the implementation of two Shift buttons allowed me to optimise

the size of the controllers and ensure logical layout. There are lots of great new features like the unique

smart strip that takes navigation in Studio One to the next level. Add to this a new responsive mixer,

MIDI controllers, improved channel strip and MIDI CC controllers and you get a truly unique DAW con-

troller that will make working wit h Studio One a breeze. I hope you will share my enthusiasm about it.

Happy music making,

What is arts|UNMUTED?

arts|UNMUTED is a project aiming at creating advanced templates for Liine Lemur for controlling leading

sound libraries and DAWs. It sprang out from the need to turn music creation and production into more

tactile and user-friendly experience. It could not be achieved with hard-coded hardware controllers which

lack flexibility. iPad apps opened new possibilities but it is Liine Lemur that let you create highly scripted,

dynamic templates for specific instruments. Now you don’t have to learn all the keyswitches for different

articulations by heart. No more skimming manuals for the information on CC messages to control your

favourite libraries. Now you have them all in front of you on your iPad. The arts|UNMUTED templates con-

tain many dynamic elements that interact with your selections. No more obsolete controllers. Only the

things you need. Nothing more. Nothing less. Just pure inspiration and creativity.

What it is not...

arts|UNMUTED templates are not separate products or platforms. They need Liine Lemur to work. They

don’t generate any sounds and they require DAW software to work. At the moment, the templates are

developed with no affiliations or support from sound library providers or Liine team. The names of the

libraries and companies are used only for informative purposes.
