Boring namm

Every year a handful of people say NAMM was boring. What are you looking for, if not what’s being shown? I’m always interested in at least a few things displayed even if they aren’t always practical for me to have.

people just want some new sexy synth or drum machine to buy and then resell next year

There’s been some really promising stuff imo. New Cranborne compressor/limiter, new Locomotive preamp, new flagship Austrian Audio mic, new AEA compressor, very promising new tape effect from LTL.

I am really happy that the Behringer dude said the BX1 was still a prototype and it would be next year … so I do not even have to worry about spending money on it. Looks really nice that synth. With 32 analog filters… crazy…

Me too, its the most intresting release this year imho.

If you’re reading this, I know you’re probably wondering, so I’ll save you the time of watching the video. The Rhodes 61 is $7000.

It stands for the National Association of Music Merchants. What do you expect? :slight_smile:

Superbooth just sounds more exciting by default

I love this guy’s humility, considering what he’s done with U-He. That texture synthesizer sounds pretty cool. Hopefully Zebra 3 will actually come out while I am still alive!

It’s a couple posts up now!

I swear I read Zelda 3 and had a weird moment of confusion and panic as I thought I was in one of the Nintendo threads…

If I had to guess I don’t think it ever gets made/released. That would have to be at least 2-3k for them to develop and sell. Logistically I wonder how they could move something as big as this, in their current market of mostly >1k synths.

Preview of the coming Nektar LX+ Mk3 keyboards.

This along with other new features offers integration with NKS.

Realitone’s Sunset Choir

It’s still not done so this is a partial preview. Even so this is amazing, if you"re at all interested in this sort of thing. There is a tremendous potential for this for some unusual project. Slightly longer video, but plenty of sound with this.

See how boring NAMM is ?! It’s all about in-channel sales and guitars and boring stuff ! /s

I believe it will come, maybe 1299.- look how cheap the UBXa is. Now 880… unbelievable. We will know next year… or not :joy:

I wonder if the 25 keys also has faders. Would definitely get it if so

How is this different for Ableton people vs the Novation Launchkey mk4?
