Updates: NAMM 2012 Synth Related Overview

time to detach the NAMM 2012 news – but for later reference – these where the cool things to remember: • Note, that some posts are updated without notice – like more/new videos and some infos be added to the „old posts“ rather than cluttering the blog with 3-4 updates on the same thing.so start from here. BTW I continue doing so after NAMM as well. • Info: einige Updates zur NAMM und auch generell hier im Blog werden nicht extra angekündigt sondern einfach hinzugefügt zu bestehenden Einträgen, also –…

Mobile DAW & Remote CyberStep KDJ-ONE

maybe this is hard to sell when iPads are around, but they’re trying a dedicated little portable device with audio in, has USB – it’s about 1.5 hands large in size. seems to accept VSTs as well. There’s a position pointer below that looks like chase light TR-style but I assume it’s just helpful but not a TR-kind of input (the keyboard does not appear to be set to 16 step something but there’s arrow keys you COULD switch patterns 16step wise if the software is cool enough, anyway  –…

Mackie & Behringer iPad Mixers – they (Mackie) did not „take“ anything, sure! + UPDATE iodock clone by behringer

Apollo High-Resolution Interface with Realtime UAD Processing, Thunderbolt Interface

Mac Users (not just Mac Users – but those who use / have Thunderbolt) – look at this Thunderbolt Audio Interface, it’s the first beside the Video Thingy from Motu which is not really an audio interface as we want it – so here’s the Apollo High-Resolution Interface with Realtime UAD Processing.- and of course PCs with Thunderbolt work as well – even though – there’s not so many of those out so far. Has Firewire 800 AND Thunderbolt. you might be able to do both with it – country AND…

Casio – 2 new sample based synthesizers XW-P1 & XW-G1

as mentioned before – those Casios are real synthesizers, both 61 keys and its 2 models: XW-G1 und XW-P1 to be clear: no – it is more sample based, it’s NOT a PD or iPD or whatever synth – so it’s NOT a CZ oder VZ at all, it’s something different. here‘ the synth info: • XWP1 Digital Synthesizer • XWG1 Digital Synthesizer no dubstep in here – well.. (don’t be shocked by that demo „music“) Achtung Werbesprech – ungewöhnliche Ausdrücke für „normale“ Dinge, aber erstmal für die Info.. Aber vorweg – es ist…
