The metal-style Three-Body Technology Heavier 7 Strings is a sampler-based, 7-string guitar virtual instrument plug-in with a fully equipped effects rack and a library of 200 MIDI patterns in various styles, including metal, rock, pop, and clean. Playable on a keyboard in real time, it presents keyboardists with new creative opportunities by giving them access to authentic sounds and precise articulations previously available only to metal guitar players, while being able to compose and perform using their preferred instrument.

Heavier 7 Strings offers an 8GB library comprising 10,000+ samples that were recorded with high-quality, 24-bit / 48 kHz A/D conversion and low noise level. It features the company's THRASH (Tonal/Harmonic Reconstruction and Shaping) DSP engine that provides realistic pitch-bend and pitch-shift, as well as dynamically adjustable sample harmonics. Each note is recorded with up to sixteen round-robins and processed by the THRASH engine, which induces randomized tone changes to produce more realistic repeated playing than with random-repeats samples.

The software gives keyboard players access to metal-specific articulations such as hammer on & pull off, legato slide in/out, pinch harmonics, tremolo, palm mute, picking noise, polyphonic legato and more, all playable in real time. In addition, Heavier 7 Strings' effect rack offers 19 effect modules, 16 amp emulations (from metal to clean), 66 cabinet IRs with adjustable delay, volume and phasing, expertly chained in 200 factory presets that deliver studio-level quality for your guitar tracks.

Q: 1. What is the weight of the Manfrotto Super Clamp with 056 3D Head?What is the maximum clamp capacity (diameter) or the clamp?

A: This is a guesstimate, but it weighs about 2lbs and the clamp opens to about 2.5 inches.

Q: 2. Is this the correct stud to attach a standard tripod head (such as the 494RC2)? If not what stud should I order please?

A: The stud included with this Super Clamp would not have the correct screw thread to fit a 494 RC2. What is best to use is the Manfrotto 208HEX Head Mounting Plate with Hex Stud - 3/8 Thread B&H # MA208HEX which connects into the hex slot on the Super Clamp and has a tripod base plate on top with a 3/8 thread for attaching a head like the 494RC2. Please see the image below for reference.

Q: 3. Is this an accepted battery for the BMD URSA Broadcast G2 camera? We've got the 3-stud adapter installed on it already. Thanks.

A: Yes, the IDX System Technology ZENITH ZEN-C150G Three-Stud Lithium-Ion Battery will power your URSA Broadcast. Three Stud batteries are also called Anton Bauer Gold mount. The 3 stud mount that you are working with on your URSA 3 stud mount is correct for this battery. The Battery charger is an option and one must be added to charge the battery: IDX System Technology UC-PD1 Pocket Travel Fast Charger & Power Supply BH #IDUCPD1

Q: 4. What charger needs this batterie?

A: Here are some compatible chargers: IDX System Technology UC-PD1 Pocket Travel Fast Charger & Power Supply https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1699695-REG/idx_system_technology_uc_pd1_pocket_travel_charger.html IDX System Technology D-Tap Advanced Port Battery Charger https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1319345-REG/idx_system_technology_vl_dt1_d_tap_battery_charger.html

Q: 5. can a pair of the "quick action" super clamps be used to connect a crossbar to 2 autopoles for backdrops?

A: Two of the Manfrotto 635 Quick Action Super Clamps cannot be used alone to connect a crossbar to autopoles or stands. Two of the Manfrotto 038 Double Super Clamps (B&H # MA038) are a better choice.

Q: 6. If I am recording a Powerpoint presentation (in PP) does the laser pointer get recorded also or is it just a display pointer?

A: The virtual pointer will be recorded.

Q: 7. Does this come with a wedge?

A: Yes. It has a rubber type wedge that fits into the jaws (and is removable) allowing you to better clamp on flat surfaces like the edge of a table or door for example. The wedge is then removed for clamping in round objects like pipes.

Q: 8. Are the mounting threads on the super clamp itself 1/4 or 3/8? Thanks!

A: 1/4

Q: 9. Can the articulated arm be attached directly to this or is something additional needed?

A: Articulating arms with a baby pin/5ths stud or a 1/4 20 thread can be attached directly.

Q: 10. Can this clamp be used on a Manfrotto carbon fiber medium boom extension to clamp around the boom so as to provide a microphone mounting surface on the boom?

A: It will clamp to any pole or column under 1.75". Just be careful not to crush the carbon fiber as these clamps to have a good amount of clamping force.
