Members mildbill Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 Akai's got a bunch of pedals that look good if the price is right.

Members Unfed Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 those Akai pedals look pretty interesting, didn't expect that (not that i'm in the market for one myself). is this new? i don't think i've seen it mentioned before: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mildbill Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 ...is this new? ... I don't think so. Their site says the first batch is already sold out: http://www.doepfer.de/home_e.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members synthetica Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 You guys have to remember that the iOS 4.2.1 includes CORE MIDI support, so basically every single USB MIDI controller with legacy drivers for Core MIDI, will work with an iPad. That is huge news and then you don't need an specific keyboard controller to do so.ipad (with Camera kit adapter for USB support) + IK Multimedia's iKlip + USB MIDI Controller = heaven. No reason to ride the great escalator to the sky just yet. I have aniPad+ USB Camera Kit + Midi Controller (whoa hold the bus, Gus , not all of them work, for instance Akai's Mpk Mini or MPK25 gives an error message on the iPad that it draws too much power for the port. The Korg Nanokey works but has a horrible keyboard) = sometimes heaven but mostly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tagpass Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 Beatkangz update... I'll give 'em props for the production of this "epic-sounding" trailer, and for being honest about the 2-year delay. Would still not buy their gear since their original marketing hype was so off-putting though, unless I was doing set design for Tron Legacy 2 and needed some stage props for the club scene.

Members mildbill Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 Alesis has some neat stuff (not synths). The PercPad, PerformancePad Pro, an Ipad StudioDock thingie, multimix16, new controller keyboard, and some new drumkits: http://www.alesis.com/content200001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members donaldcrunk Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 oh man that beat kangz video was incredible. from a drawing on a piece of paper to the HARDEST {censored} EVER! but my favorite part is when the epic crunk drops out completely and the camera slow zooms in on the Kangz or whatever their name is with mouthbreathing expressions on their faces, arranged all gangsta style on the steps. we really need a picture like that of jerry the k and rich f. or {censored} any other reps. all company reps should have pictures like that from now on. how bad ass would a gold chain that says "GUS" be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mildbill Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 Alesis. I need a new set of pads - the performance pad pro looks pretty good. The small PercPad would be handy to have too. But ya - it'd be nice to see them do a synth again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's got midi in/out, audio in/out, and I think you can hook up a larger display. Load up music apps in them? Are they supposed to be a smaller alternative to a laptop?

It's about the touch screen (says I who don't have even an iPod Touch). It can display anything, you can mess with anything that can be displayed. Showing a keyboard onscreen is, I suspect, marketing; there are infinitely better ways to control music when mechanical necessity is removed and you can manipulate anything. I imagine controlling pads with something like fingerpaints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mediterranean Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 Sounds like it has its own [proprietary] DAW [iPad app]. Unless iPads can run your favorite DAW [the one you're currently using], you'll have to learn their DAW [assuming you''ll be using an onboard iPad, that is] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Purity_Control Posted January 15, 2011 Members Share Posted January 15, 2011 For that you just buy a digital piano. Sadly they don;t make the best controllers ever, great for action and 88 keys, not so good for pitch bend, mod wheel, keyboard splits or MIDI functionality. Very nice for having 3 splits on though, if used with modules that can take care of that end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mildbill Posted January 16, 2011 Members Share Posted January 16, 2011 The studiodock is really making me consider skipping gettin a macbook and just getting an ipad for live samples. http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StudioDock/ Sweetwater's got them up for $199. Haven't seen a price at Nova yet. So, how much are ipads? Then the apps. Add a controller board or pads or whatever and you're good to go?You can't run regular vsti/softsynths on them though, right? Has to be ipad apps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite is "Close Knit":thu: This music would be perfect for some TV commercials [cars for example]. While listening to "Hour Glass", and starting at around 1:40mn, I imagined a long commercial about the performance of the latest BMW car, on a closed road by itself, being videotaped from a chopper:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
