Open Labs has expanded its product line by introducing Music OS 3.0.

The Music OS 3.0 or MOS (moss) software application is designed to address the needs of both music creators and live performers. With over 7 years of integrated touch screen experience, MOS was purposely developed and optimized for touch screen use; however, a touch screen is not required when installed on PC desktops and laptop systems.

MOS was engineered to work in conjunction with traditional DAW programs as a professional ‘scratch pad’ when creating and performing music. MOS offers unique features, such as Live Controls and Elastique, allowing users to create customizable controls that can latch to any music software, VST, and hardware device. Essentially, what this means is that MOS can transform any DAW into a live instrument program with touch screen friendly controls.

Additionally, MOS allows users to import / export their musical ideas into traditional DAWs for further editing, mixing and mastering. If users already have a completed project and would like to perform with their D.A.W. tracks live on stage using MOS (i.e. using prerecorded backing tracks), all they have to do is export / import their tracks into MOS for greater performance, touch screen friendly control and stability.

Price: $299. Open Labs says they will be releasing an Apple OS X supported platform in early 2012.
