Members SpaceNorman Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm hoping hoping that somewhere down one of the little tiny side aisles of the exhibition floor ... far away from the heady excitement of the revolutionary new synths that are sure to be hyped ... there's gonna be somebody announcing the release of a new production "keytar" with a reasonable quality keybed on is and common controller capablities - targeted for sale at an affordable price ( (Let the laughter begin....)

Members soundwave106 Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 New Roland Synthhttp://www.rolandus.com/products/productdetails.aspx?ObjectId=977&ParentId=72:whisper:Don't get too excited:facepalm: Amazon.co.jp sells it for 399,000 yen, which currently is *gasp!* about $4300 dollars. I would need a *ton* of ANIME visual effects for that cost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sparkytfl Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 "keytar" with a reasonable quality keybed on is and common controller capablities - targeted for sale at an affordable price ( (Let the laughter begin....) I've expressed my desire for one many times. I wasn't in a band or even a key player (guitar player) when roland stopped theirs. I'm a key player in a metal band, I'm expected to be a big dork. It's all about having fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChristianRock Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 Sparkytfl: so you have a Triamp as well? I have a Mk I, with the reverb. Wouldn't trade it for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sparkytfl Posted January 9, 2009 Members Share Posted January 9, 2009 No, it's just a Trilogy. But because of it I'm finally happy with my tone. Too bad my guitar playing has been pushed aside for keys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bruto Posted January 10, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 10, 2009 Does anyone know if any new yamaha or kawai digital pianos will be released at Namm Do you mean home or stage digital pianos? If you mean home, I'd be rather shocked if Yamaha didn't have something new at NAMM - they always update their home piano line. Yamaha's pro line moves a little slower. A new or updated series appears every 3 or 4 years. Same goes for Kawai home digital pianos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GrahaM3 Posted January 10, 2009 Members Share Posted January 10, 2009 I know the Oasys and Radias were discontinued mid-08, so it will be interesting to see what happens. Maybe both are in the dust due to sales? Actually, the OASYS has not been discontinued at all. It is still very much in production and on sale. Where do people get these "facts" from?

Members P321 Posted January 10, 2009 Members Share Posted January 10, 2009 Actually, the OASYS has not been discontinued at all. It is still very much in production and on sale. Where do people get these "facts" from?Suppliers,who tell them that it's discontinued. Where do you get yours from? Supposedly supplies of the 76 key started drying up months ago, and 88 keys are starting to dry up now too, although there should still be some around. It looks like Korg are about to announce some sort of update at NAMM.. After then they may or may not officially say the old version is "discontinued". Given its price point I doubt Korg will call it "discontinued", but may simply opt to stick some better hardware, than the current Pentium 4 Aopen motherboard, into it and give it a new version number. It's likely that any software update would be issued to those who run on the older hardware anyway. But we'll see.. Unless you know something direct from Korg which contradicts that in any major way?

Members FunkyJuice Posted January 12, 2009 Members Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi guys, I am interested in buying a new controller midi keyboard. I am waiting to see what NAMM 2009 has to offer(is anything special coming out in this area??). Is there a web page that shows what each company offered at Namm (rather than going to each brand's website). FUNKYJUICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it's looking like the only thing new from Novation will be a limited edition glow-in-the-dark Novation Remote SL.. Hopefully there'll be more. Korg seems like they might announce a new controller too. Hopefully someone will do something nicer than the usual guff they've been releasing in recent years.

Members stikygum Posted January 12, 2009 Members Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'm mainly looking forward to 2 things at namm: To see what the new Future Retro product is and to see if Celemony finally releases the newest Melodyne version. I'd like to see a keytar too, but I'm in doubt anything will suprise me too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a compact 37 or 49 key controller in a very sleek and light package. Look at what Apple is doing with their new unibody design for the Macbooks. Something small, light and sturdy, but with a good keybed, aftertouch, a small but high contrast screen. A few controllers for realtime editing, a few pads for drumming. In two versions, with and without a high quality audiocard built-in. And even better, foldable in half to fit it in a backpack. If i had the time I would do a mockup in a 3D modelling software.

I just want a good, solid MIDI controller that can fit on my desk without me having to push my monitor all the way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Yoozer Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm seeing a lot of talk about Cubase 5.I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen. 4.5.2 was planned to be the last update according to a Steinberg employee, and then everyone ruined the thread by bitching about how they simply release a new version instead of fixing the old one. Glad I jumped that ship after SX3 if I hear the crap some had to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members P321 Posted January 13, 2009 Members Share Posted January 13, 2009 I'm seeing a lot of talk about Cubase 5. I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen. Unless there's a last minute change Cubase 5 WILL be announced. The only question is if it'll be known as "Cubase 5" or what new name they'll switch to?.. If you're going to stick with Cubase, and want decent 64 bit support, then there's not going to be much option but to "upgrade". Steinbergs attitude towards its own customers is atrocious at times though, bordering on contempt. I will make it a point to spend some time with other DAW's before I commit down that path. It's a shame it also seems beyond Yamaha to kick their ass into shape in the bug fixing department before they ship new versions.. it's a "Cubase tradition" that needs to end.
