blaaaargh. was just gonna make a thread

te stuff has my interest piqued.

from create digital music : "We just got word from the NAMM Show organizers that synth manufacturers have nearly doubled their show floor square footage since last year, making this one of the show’s fastest-growing segments.

And you know what double the area for synths means….. double the synths!"

if dave smith releases an analogue pro-5 updated synth i might wet my knickers

Korg will live stream their Arp Odyssey event :

wow.

Ms20's

Odyssey's

system 55's

Prophet 5's???

ROLAND ANALOGUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sounds like crap, but heres hoping for the future. an analogue jp8000 would be immense)

akai announced two new synths. http://www.musicradar.com/news/tech/namm-2015-akai-unveils-timbre-wolf-polyphonic-analogue-synth-and-tom-cat-drum-machines-614290

timbre wolf (4 voice poly analog for 300 pounds)

and another drum machine called the tom cat

expect audio demos sometime next year

wow ! the timbre wolf looks like a no brainer !

Oh,$1400.That's a bit more than I was expecting. Hmmm.

the korg rep said it's $999usd

Shit, they have a limited edition of the rev 2 design. Nghhh. I need it in my life. Must... resist...

3 new make noise modules :

new hexinverter module (demo by venetian snares) :

heh.

Wow these akai machines are sexy as fuck...

I remember 2 years ago when I was working for a guitar website. I had so many news to make during NAMM and Musikmesse, but since it was only about guitar/bass/amps/pedals/... I had completely overlooked all of this shit. Damn I'd love to attend these. The disneyland of gearporn.

Excited for the Karp Koddyssey, been subconciously keeping money aside all year for it.

Not holding out much hope for Akai though. The Wolf sounded terrible and took nearly a year to fix and the MPX series which I was excited about are unusable.

How do you play poly successfully on 2 octaves I do not know ha.

I'm happy to see that the PO-12 isn't locked to the three preset tempo's that it appeared to be locked to in the prototype stage. Adjustable BPM & swing!!!! Yay :)

Hope the OP-1 OS update is soon.

korg sq-1 sequencer :

oops my bad ! can I edit that ?

lol, so it is. It's funny, i'm sure my brain just read it as NAMM anyway. Also, i edited the thread title and your OP for you.

great ! thanks !

Is NAMM just a hardware thing or is there software announcements given too? (or is there a different show for that?)

I think there is software too !

have they even talked about an os update yet? i mean there's supposedly been one in the works for a while where they accepted user submitted presets but not heard anything since that contest was run in like september or something. there was also a picture of the op-1 internals floating around that should a big open spot for some kind of add on in the left side.
