Jan. 5, 2011 - PRLog -- ION Discover Series Enables Users to Explore Musical Instruments of All Kinds

Cumberland, R.I. (Jan. 6, 2011) – ION (www.ionaudio.com), a leader in consumer audio and entertainment technology, is now shipping two new instruments in their popular DISCOVER MUSIC series: DISCOVER GUITAR USB and DISCOVER DRUMS. Both DISCOVER GUITAR USB and DISCOVER DRUMS will be on display at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), booth #12638, in Las Vegas, Nevada from January 6 – 9.

DISCOVER GUITAR USB is the easiest way to learn, play and record guitar. This complete package includes a stage-ready, six-string electric guitar with an all-wood body. The included ION GUITAR LINK cable connects the guitar directly to a computer - no drivers required. 
Also included, Guitar Rig LE® software by Native Instruments provides loads of high quality amps and pedals that would normally cost thousands of dollars, providing amazing opportunities to shape interesting and unique guitar tones. The software also allows you to record you playing, perfect for composing music.

Virtually anyone can learn to play the drums with DISCOVER DRUMS. With four drum pads and 50 drum, cymbal, percussion and other sounds, DISCOVER DRUMS delivers a full complement of percussion sounds sure to inspire anyone interested in playing drums. Users can play the preconfigured virtual drum sets and assign individual instrument sounds to any of the four drum pads to create custom setups. Drummers can rock out loud with DISCOVER DRUMS' speaker system or plug in their favorite headphones and practice quietly. DISCOVER DRUMS includes a series of learning exercises designed to introduce the fundamentals of drumming; even people who have never played before will find that DISCOVER DRUMS enables them to play drumbeats in no time.

“Whether you want to be a DJ, play guitar, play keyboard or become a singing star, the DISCOVER MUSIC series is the easiest and most fun way to get started as a musician,” said Gregg Stein, Managing Director, ION.

DISCOVER GUITAR USB and DISCOVER DRUMS are available now from Maplin, PC World, JBs Music.
