Because there was no software available to suit the needs of live O.R.I. performances, O.R.I. had to develop its own. BackToBasics is the award winning software that allows samples to be assigned to keys on the computer keyboard, so that the computer can be played as an instrument. Other features include various looping configurations, pitch and volume control, stereo panning and much, much more.
BackToBasics, developed at ORILab, is the premier digital sample triggering software for today's advanced computers. With BackToBasics you can turn your computer keyboard into a full-fledged real-time digital audio research, experimentation, and performance laboratory. Using BackToBasics, you can separately configure 47 keys on your computer keyboard to play up to 30 stereo sounds at one time (that's for MacOS, no limit for Win9x) using an unlimited amount of imported sampled sounds while controlling sample pitch, volume, loop type, and more.
Let BackToBasics bring your audio presentation capabilities into the frontier of tomorrow!
