Korg Minilogue Polysynth + Akai AX coming back

Korg just registered „Minilogue“ sounds and IS very analogue, very synth and it is polyphonic and has a 16 step modulation sequencer. in mono mode it has 2 OSCs 1 Suboscillator, in poly it has just 2 OSCs. in dual mode it has these 2 voices doubled, so 4 OSCs sounds and can be detuned. the only unclear thing is a rack version, that might happen – but may just be some messing around with image processing software (not to mention one of those companies..) – maybe done by him since the…

Akai MPC Touch (Controller!)

Es geht immer mit einem Bild los – hier haben wir eine Kiste mit Riesendisplay und Pads die man gut kennt von deren Controllern – und die globalen Tasten für dies und das – was sagt dir das? Sieht nach Touch-Display aus – es heißt Touch und daher wird das wohl etwas sein, was dann einiges ermöglichen könnte. Wie gut das intuitiv ist und wie sehr für die Bühne muss man noch sehen. Angeblich gibt es noch div. andere Modelle. Vielleicht ist DA ja Hardware dabei. Darüber sprechen? Akai MPC Touch…

Akai & Alesis storming the studio – new APC 40 Mk2, new Analog Drum Machine Rhythm Wolf with Bass Synth

New APCs – all more portable – so better for live-people. and a special „mini“ version that responds to Novations Mini-Launchpads. The new APC40 mk2 will be at the same price tag as before. The mini version is at 119€ and seem like the APC20 or a launch pad plus faders which is a very good combination if one can set them to set steps and values of MIDI CC, Notes etc. Also new is a key-version of the APC Mini ! http://youtu.be/hDmUNYfwBVk • Akais Rhythm Wolf – Analog Bass Synth…

Big Display for Akai MPC1000 + MPC2500 running special JJOS

This is some sort of „proprietary“ but it shows, how a real new plattform is born without having your own hardware development done and concentrate on a community and your software. Or possibly this might work, meanwhile you simply can have a larger display.. ;) so this is the larger screen on the MPCs (no MPC500 but the other 2), they need a special JJOS and you wont be able to „return“ back to normal but is simply a great idea how to really extend the capabilities. http://www.mpcstuff.com check this…
