Members MuzikB Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 I was really interested in Maschine but it only runs on Intel Macs. MPC it is then. Viva for timeless hardware. Lets get on with Largo and the Blofeld Keyboard already! Also, the G-Media Oberheim softsynth. The Big 3 have got me drowsy this NAMM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ElectricPuppy Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 Maybe the Big 3 are letting the "small dogs" go first so that their pending announcements are lost in a sea of buzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MuzikB Posted January 15, 2009 Members Share Posted January 15, 2009 Maybe the Big 3 are letting the "small dogs" go first so that their pending announcements are lost in a sea of buzz. Well, we already know what Roland and Korg have presented. There's no buzz on the Korg or Yamaha synth web sites so I think they're passing this NAMM up. NI's Maschine is the {censored} but I'm not getting a new computer anytime soon. I'll be using my PowerMac until it simply dies hard. An MPC 2500 and a Blofeld KB will now be my mobile groove getup for some live shows with DJ's this year. I may replace Predator with Largo if it sounds good. I like the conservative CPU usage and the interface. I'm also on a white tip for my synths. Largo will run on my laptop. Predator barely runs within Live on my PowerMac. I'm always bouncing to an audio track with Predator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SpaceNorman Posted January 16, 2009 Members Share Posted January 16, 2009 Indeed it does Speaking of which, I'm psyched about this being posted on the Roland website: http://www.roland.com/products/en/AX-Synth/index.html Kudos to Roland for finally listening and understanding there's a market and this is the time. Well ... now THAT makes my day! Any idea on what MAPP for this will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stikygum Posted January 16, 2009 Members Share Posted January 16, 2009 Korg M3 owners - even more free expansion and some tweaks to Karma to allow user locations (via Karma software) and on the fly GE switching: http://www.sonicstate.com/news/2009/01/15/wnamm09-m3-xpanded-expands-further/ Touch and drag on screen, that's great to hear. I may decide to sample my MicroX and go for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members barnone Posted January 16, 2009 Members Share Posted January 16, 2009 I was wondering that myself. From my understanding the spec was VERY buggy in the past. I wonder if the issues have been fixed. Im willing to bet they have, its been so long.I think drools is the only person here that can say one thing or another about it. The Spectralis 1 current OS .97L is extremely stable. Possibly very old beta versions before that were buggy but it's been pretty rock stable for a long time. Too long. We are all waiting for the drop of OS 1.0 which is in final beta testing with a few trusted users and will also be the OS in Spectralis II. As everyone knows, the version # choices have been unfortunate as even though we have had a very full featured OS for a long time, it was never called 1.0 and a few buttons still had unimplemented features. The good news is that what is in .99 beta, soon to be 1.0 is pretty spectacular and removes many of the reasons you could fault the unit. Most centering around external midi control in the studio both directions, realtime recording without stopping sequencer, realtime recording of knob and parameter tweaking, 2nd FX bank (Delay, Time based effects), much better sample management up to 2GB card with dynamically swapped samples, so not need to reload samples manually. Both Spectralis I and II owners will benefit. And we are all on the edge of our seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SpaceNorman Posted January 16, 2009 Members Share Posted January 16, 2009 While this is good, and Edgar makes it look cool...you all DO realize that playing a keytar makes you look like a total dork. I mean, you all DO realize this yes? I hope so. Goof .... real men don't give a {censored} what others think about how stuff looks! Real men play keytars simply 'cause they want to!

Members stikygum Posted January 16, 2009 Members Share Posted January 16, 2009 I heard speculation the AX Synth might be 1199 Euro. Hope it's lower than that. I'm waiting eagerly to see what it actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sparkytfl Posted January 16, 2009 Members Share Posted January 16, 2009 I don't remember how much the ax7 was. six or seven hundred? And that one didn't have built in sounds. I imagine a couple hundred more for the new one. Still way cheaper than a 1 or 7 has been going for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stikygum Posted January 16, 2009 Members Share Posted January 16, 2009 I think it was $600. .... Still no word on Celemony Melodyne :cry: Come on Celemony, someone tell me it is so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ultimate DJ Posted January 18, 2009 Members Share Posted January 18, 2009 Nothing from Korg on any Oasys updates.. Hey Vince, I own an Oasys so I'm very irritated at no mention or anything going for the Oasys. but at Korg Forums a day or two back Dan the Korg Product Manager said Hi all, As has been mentioned, updates are often not timed to match trade shows such as NAMM. Note also that OASYS was introduced four years ago. Over those four years, we've done the following: added STR-1 added the MS-20EX and PolysixEX added the MOD-7 added EXs3 increased polyphony doubled the maximum physical RAM added lossless compression of PCM ROM and EXs updated KARMA released over a thousand new sounds added the Gate to the AMS Mixer added the EXi Audio Input added Chord Mode added Max # of Notes added polyphonic unison added smoothing for Tone Adjust & edits from the display, for analog, stairstep-free operation with many more parameters added the ability to change EXs without restarting and more... ...and, we're still working. As usual, I can't say any more at this time. - Dan So I do find some hope in these words...maybe something in the future? but I will always love the machine! puravida DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Audacity Works Posted January 18, 2009 Members Share Posted January 18, 2009 .... Still no word on Celemony Melodyne :cry: Come on Celemony, someone tell me it is so. Melodyne Editor (replacement for Melodyne Plugin) should be available shortly. Melodyne Studio (multitrack) is gonna be another nine months or so. The code was allegedly rebuilt from scratch to accommodate the new DNA engine. That's why it's taking so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stikygum Posted January 18, 2009 Members Share Posted January 18, 2009 Well, it's good to know that we now have a solid set date for this. I heard the plugin will be coming this Spring. Highly anticipated for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members P321 Posted January 18, 2009 Members Share Posted January 18, 2009 Lets get on with Largo and the Blofeld Keyboard already! Also, the G-Media Oberheim softsynth.If the big hardware surprise of this NAMM was Korg easing off on certain announcements, then the software one was no Gmedia Oberheim! Instead they "borrowed" some of the ideas (no code sharing though) for it and put them in Imposcar 2 instead. That includes the simulated polyphonic portamento glide in unison mode, the demo of which made me think it was likely to be SOB. Still means it can do a good impression of the unison portamento glide of an Oberheim, with different timings between the voices. Unfortunately that seems to be as far as it goes (no true individual per voice parameter tuning) and leaves open to question if their Obie emulation will ever happen now.. I'm guessing not. Bit disappointing either way, although Imposcar 2 does look like a nice improvement on the first one. At least FXPansion DCam looks like being pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mildbill Posted January 18, 2009 Members Share Posted January 18, 2009 Imposcar 2 looks pretty good. IMO, it's already one of the best sounding softies, and the sounds from the video demo sound really good, even over crappy laptop speakers: http://www.sonicstate.com/news/2009/01/18/wnamm09-imposcar-2-full-demo/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least FXPansion DCam looks like being pretty good My guess is that Gibson didn't give up the rights or an agreement couldn't be made with the Oberheim name so they implemented the tech in an ImpOSCar upgrade. We'll probably never see that OB softsynth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
