Actually YEAH!

I'll take that. Forget what I said about gear abstinence.

I've been looking to replace the crappy keyboard I own with a decent one for ages... just never quite found one I like. But I'm an NI fanboy, so I'd probably buy a piece of poo on a stick if they waved it at me.

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...



That's probably just a dumb rumor though

Holy f*ck, i'd just like software that works, syncs, applications that can send midi to and from each other, rewire that's sample accurate for midi. 64 bit ableton.

I wish they would actually just do what steinberg did a few years ago and what apple did with logic - start from a new code base rather than tacking on stuff and making it worse. . .

I have more problems with live 8 than any other software.

Aside from live I cannot believe that there isn;t a way to send sample accurate midi between programmes.

I am getting sick of computers.

But I love the sounds of the vst's at the moment. . .

bah

Edited to put an asterisk in F*ck. ..

I'd love to see new REAL engines like yamaha SU700 / RS7000, emu MP7/XL7...

perhaps with usb/firewire links... (daisychainable firewire stuff...)

controller are cool, but you need to setup things "underneath"...

I was at a friend's home saturday, and wanted to "gig" with him, with my present setup (live, controllers...) but without my present songs, and I was totally unable to get a single sound out without passing hours setting up the stuff... (preparing racks, midi assignements, choosing sounds, creating loops, midi clips...)

I'm tired of all the midi control hypeness

actually, there is one thing i would love to see in general... way more choices of powercore / uad / focusrite liquid mix type cards for laptops... maybe even just a 'free host' a la receptor... for vst / au plugs... so you can run a bucket load of really heavy plugs... on the road.

and really small & light...

more of those would maybe also bring the prices a bit down...?

^

So you want a plug ins card?.. the only problem is you'll probably have to run it with a plug-in interface...

"with Pluggos 'easy to use interface' it makes managing all your plugs a breeze for on the fly knob rotating and fader moving"

What they don't tell you is that it takes a week to set it up and it only works on your system because the plugs card is also a dongle that registers your MAC* address.




* note: this is not the address where you keep your Macintosh

I'd like to see hybrid versions (USB 2.0 & FireWire) of RME's Fireface series...

A hybrid Traveler from MOTU too.

yeah, more choice a la powercore or UAD, liquid mix. something really small a la UAD solo...

What do you mean by this ?

Just kidding

Predictions: Some Wack shit

Want: Linndrum2, magic new Elektron machine, Korg 16x16 ableton grid.

has the 5th incarnation of the Korg MS2000 been mentioned..?

no? good..
the 5th incarnation of the Korg MS2000..

now in a retro 80's knobless edition.. enter those digits!

1) something stupid looking made of plastic by Korg

2) linndrum prototype that doesn't actually make any sound.

3) midi controllers that do exactly the same thing as the ones you can already buy but are made even cheaper

right now i cant even think of anything i want or need. i cant even think of anything that ableton could pull out in a version 9 that would get me buying.

which is exactly why we need to support them by purchasing software and devices that should still be in beta.

Maybe Tom Oberheim is finally ready to release his new take on his own SEM

Been available for quite a while, my friend has one.
