yeah i meant to say, he mentioned patches by you in the vid. watmm represent etc.

 

I expect they will keep your patches so they can have as many patches as possible to bundle with it.

Ah he did to! just watched it. That's cool. Actually the new patch browsing system looks awesome. The version I worked on didn't have anything like that. Can't wait for this. I wonder if I can blag a free copy for my efforts? :D Maybe I should have submitted more than one bank. When I submitted the bank I was expecting ImpOSCar 2 to come out quite soon after. I got that a bit wrong. I would have had time to do a good few more banks. Oh well, I'm sure I'll get on it when i get a copy. It's a great synth to program. Sounds bloody awesome as well. The Unison mode is going to blow people away.

To anyone who knows?

did Digidesign release any info other than the "Pro Tools Instrument pack"?

That's all they had. Other than the fact that they are now "Avid" which includes m-audio and a few other companies. So *digidesign* is pretty much done releasing stuff. Everything is under the avid brand now,and I guess they are in transition and not releasing anything *new* yet.

had a few more pictures from my return to namm on saturday. had my 5DII and vintage pentax lens so they're a bit more fancy than the iphone photos from before, but whatevz:

doepfer dark energy. this thing is fun, and sounds sweet, but $680? really? when the DSI tetra's just a hundred more?

here's the mungo... seems big, overpriced and unnecessary to me, but it looks ok:

here's the 2box drumits... been hearing about these for a couple of years, finally got to try them. they're not bad - the VDrums are still a bit more stable... these drumit 5s are lightweight and small, but the whole kit is a bit bouncy. whereas the VDrums heads are a little too springy for most, the drumit 5s have replaceable heads (regular, mesh, rubber) - perhaps with that they could be tuned to feel a bit better - they were quite playable though.

figured i'd get a shot of this, considering the JEM discussion in the "gear lust" thread. good old universe with the swirly paint job. i would have killed for this when i was 12. actually saw steve vai at the carvin booth too.

decent shot of the mopho KB...

and finally, the OP-1 everyone's been talking about. not that we haven't seen it enough already:

good stuff.
