NAMM 2010 predictions

[hoffman2k]

I'm guessing Ableton and Serato might have something to say

An educated guess, I'm sure

[hoffman2k]

I'm hoping for a MIDI controller with 8 rotary knobs and 16 LED buttons.
The nocturn would be perfect if it were actually a MIDI controller.
It pains me to say this, but "Im looking at you, Behringer".

NAMM 2010 is only just around the corner, any predictions?


Could we be looking at a new APC 80 or even an Ableton 9?

the protodeck will be released for the whole universe

[Grappadura]

A bigger APC, with motorized faders.

and with two power supply plugs for that extra performance.

I heard they're canceling NAMM in favor of everyone appreciating what they have, learning it, teaching your fellow man, and remembering that you couldn't do half that shit for twice the money 5-10 years ago. So to switch it up this year they're all supposed to collab and fix the shit that doesn't work properly across all platforms and manufacturers instead of throwing new versions at us...

+1000

we gotta stop this crazyness and actually learn our present tools.

I could NOT imagine a single controller/synth/soft that would not be redundant in either part of it with somethig already existing.

you want a specific 13-buttons/5-faders/sysex/metal-with-wood-sides/2-midi-thrus/internal-LFOs ?

make it.



BTW, I'd really like to go to the NAMM or other same type shows, I'd be like a child in a candy shop. But you know, it is BAD.

desire, envy... it hurts, and digs the need even deeper. the more you want, the more you get the more you want... vicious circle of the human pain...

this is... gear porn.

ok I'm

What do you mean by this ?

Probably time for Kore 3 soon? I bet NI are itching to update the controller to bring it in line with Maschine and the new Traktor controller.

Reaktor 6? I heard a rumor that it's scheduled for the first part of 2010...

And I reckon Akai will bring out something at a lower price point than the APC... to compete with Launchpad.

I won't be buying any of it though - 2010 is going to be a year of gear abstinence...

he he, tell me more about it, it always puts a smile onto my face, i just was very recently at a friends place who bought a bunch of controllers not long ago at all and already replaced them with new ones, that do the freakin' same... they just look different (a bit fancier) and are from another brand... and the old ones eating dust laying in the corner, hardly ever used.

i see that all the time happening... sorry to say, but it's stoopid in my eyes, it brings me right back to my thread about 'listening' and therefor monitoring, instead saving and spending all that wasted money into something that actually makes real sense, oh well...

[supamonsta]

this friend... it's me! (I bought a nocturn one day, and I only used it 1 time in a gig, so crappy useless stuff, at least in my already existing setup ).

sometimes it's hard to resist anyway, well the launchpad quite managed to make me buy it with its cheap price, but I resisted and I'm glad I did. (no dust on it or on my padkontrol, that is yes perhap's less fancy, but that with farmpad is able to do quite the same, with, yes, less buttons...)

the time you'll spend on the learning curve and adjustments to your setup to integrate the new fancy controller, there's a new one, (even fancier & better!!!), on the market.

and you lost your time making NO music meanwhile...

perhap's is that not the case for everyone, but we gotta get away from gear porn if we really want to use our time to compose.

Or, the hobby is not making music, but setting up gear! (remembers a friend that says "hey, I don't wanna get a fuckin' mac because what I like, is not using a software, it's messing up for setting up a fucking weird and complex computer and hard&software environnement! I'm a geek, not a software user"

true not everyone, but i can honestly say it's what i see to at least 80% around me. definitely.

I hope T-Pain is at the Antares booth!

[aisling]

I'd like to see the new plugs rumored for the powercore system........

[davepermen]

can't wait for new gearporn

yeah, an apc with motorized faders would be interesting (and knobs for each channel).

but then again, yes. the stuff i have is more than enough

but buying tons of gear is fun. if one has the money for it.

[33tetragammon]

A decent quality keyboard (37 keys) with the Kore controller built in would be huge I bet.

Personally I'm hoping for a Kaoss 4 Pad myself, or an update Korg groovebox. But that's what I always wish for, likely a pipe dream.

my thoughts exactly!

Korg NanoKontrol !?!
