Members xmlguy Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 Perhaps a Yamaha MM6 in colors other than boring gray: I'd like to see one in a clear translucent case. Wait a minute, what the hell, THERE'S A PSR-E413 inside my MM6. A sheep in a wolf's clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members P321 Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 I use da webbernet dees days. Tradeshows are obsolete. Any company that waits for NAMM to announce a new product is quite foolish, since it only increases the length of their own product release cycle, while the competition can release to market faster. Every major music gear website will have a customer waiting list accumulating for any hot new product, anytime of the year, regardless of any tradeshow announcements.You're absolutely right, which is why Summer NAMM is basically scrapped as far as synths are concerned, unless it happens to tie in with a release cycle anyway. I think the main reason they're still going with the Winter one is it's the one time when everybody in the industry can meet up, and without that there's not really an equivalent event. Plus it gives people a way to see how much interest something is generating (outside of people posting in forums!). So it's probably still a good way to generate some orders. But I see it dying out. I wonder how quickly Korg will get around to posting their own videos btw? If they take more than a few hours to do it then everyone will probably have already seen the products from 20 different video angles via other people and their phones given the way stuff is going these days..

Members Aanalogaddict Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 Ahh, their new "all analog" Andromeda competitor, the Roland Uranus 16. Now only Mercury and Venus are without synth names. EDIT: And I guess Terra too. Virsyn... Terra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I don't think you'll see a Wave Rack. I believe Clavia has deemed rack versions to be unprofitable. I don't think so. They still make the Nord 2x and Electro 2 in rack form. How about this. Nord rack units usually sell for $100-$300 less than the keyboard versions. Right? The Wave sells for $2699 which would make the Wave Rack$2499. I don't think alot of people are willing to spend $2499 for a Wave Rack and Nord knows this and I feel is one of the reasons they haven't released it. Did you notice MF has Electro 2 Racks for $899? http://keyboards-midi.musiciansfriend.com/product/Nord-Electro-2-Rackmount-Synthesizer?sku=702627 GODDY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fuzzlabs Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 -- Korg will show off the Fidget, an inexpensive pair of MIDI controller gloves with each finger operating a trigger, for those of you that like to drum your fingers on the desk.Ya know, I've been thinking about building something like that for a while... not direct MIDI out, but to plug into my Alesis D$ trigger inputs and then to MIDI.I'm thinking piezos in rubber on the fingertips....Because I do, to the annoyance of others, drum with my fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bruto Posted December 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 The new MicroKorg is official now: MicroKorg XL I've always been a fan of the original, so I'm looking forward to trying one of these. It appears Korg based the look on a Rhodes front panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I saw somewhere once that someone had marketed such a device already, but I don't remember any details, or perhaps I'm just making it up.

Members Bernard Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 Imagine if one of the big three had been secretly working on an Alesis Andromeda A6 like synth. Getting the circuits just right and adding all the power of digital control, sequencing and effects. Can't see Alesis doing a mark 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soundxplorer Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 speculation. He's almost, but not quite, wrong.Maybe a Little Phatty Fooger? A limited-control OSC/AMP/ENV combo in a Fooger pedal, with pitch-to-CV conversion for guitar control.Also, isn't the MuRF just one step away from being a vocoder? Instead of the the "sequenced" filter changes that are programmed into the thing, they could add an analysis input and VCA control over the filter bands.That's my vote. The MF-106 vocoder pedal.

Members StompBoxLover Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 I keep hearing that Korg will/should release a new Electribe. I'm pretty much set on a SX-1 right now, watching a few auctions on eBay and so on. However IF Korg should make a new Electribe, the (unnaturally stable) prices for a older model will drop, so I'd be a fool to buy now. Are these rumors, leaked information or just whishful thinking? I think I'll wait till NAMM is over before I buy one. I just recently discovered how much fun these x0x-style sequencers can be for drum tracks (bought an ER-1) so I guess I can wait some more.

Members Diametro Posted December 9, 2008 Members Share Posted December 9, 2008 The problem with a new Electribe is that as all new Korg synths are, they are priced at a premium when first released ... Why would anybody buy one when you know 6-8 months later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
