Members k2500x Posted December 23, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 translated... ie the specs were posted on a foreign language M-Audio web site and translated into english so you could read them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members upfineclouds Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 It's on the main M-Audio web site too. Sounds intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members upfineclouds Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 While checking out their web site I also found new Oxygen 88 keyboard with MIDI OUT. They finally realised that USB is not what makes a MIDI keyboard and a hardware synthesizer work together, which sure will get them more business from synth players. Cool. I found the "USB only" idea plain unimaginative. Why deliberately cut off themselves from a large part of the MIDI controller market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members k2500x Posted December 23, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 R3, GAIA, ULTRANOVA, VENOM . . . There must be quite a margin on these portable synths. Everyone is in the game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members McHale Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 color me intrigued... If the price is right, I'll snag one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MartinHines Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 I wouldn't get too crazy about it without actually seeing and hearing it. When I think "synths" I don't ever think "M-Audio". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members veracohr Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 They've turned me off by putting auto-playing music on the page. I hate that. It makes me want to break things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members McHale Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 I wouldn't get too crazy about it without actually seeing and hearing it. When I think "synths" I don't ever think "M-Audio". When some people hear "Yamaha," they think Motorcycles. They make some fantastic controllers and they have a reputation to lose. I'm at least open to the reality they could turn out a good synth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Lozada Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 When I think "synths" I don't ever think "M-Audio". That is because this is the first synth, ever, at Avid / M-Audio's history I'll be demoing it at NAMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MuzikB Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 Considering Sibelius and ProTools, I'm not impressed. It's nice that they made a hardwrae synth, but I don't get along well with their software products. That said though, I think the 3rd generation Pro Tools interfaces are great.

Members Gaul Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 From the teaser, one would say that it has 4 multi parts, which is good. With 12 polyphonic sounds that's good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members donaldcrunk Posted December 23, 2010 Members Share Posted December 23, 2010 im interested to see this. it makes a lot of sense for m - audio to release a product like this, if it turns out the way i think it will turn out. i will be looking for your demo gus! make me a nice thick distorted NIN sounding line if you think of it during you demos! i love to hear the way onboard distortions on synths interact with a high rez modulated filter. i always listen to that first for some reason.

Members burster Posted December 24, 2010 Members Share Posted December 24, 2010 That's exactly what people said (myself included) when Alesis came out with their first synth... This is exactly what I was going to post but, then I had to run some errands. Alesis started out making efx and recording gear and then synths. M-Audio has been making sound libraries and controllers for years. This seems like a natural progression given there background and backing.

Members Paolo Di Nicolantonio Posted December 24, 2010 Members Share Posted December 24, 2010 Spill the beans, Gus It looks like a VA, so does the code have anything to do with the code from Pro Tools' plugins, i.e. Xpand2!, Vacuum, Boom? Just curious because I really like the sound of those... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
