NAMM Redux

January 31st, 2006 | Category: Music Technology
Since my last post, I’ve found some more interesting items that fell through the cracks of the major music sites.

Looks like IK and SVG have re-announced their partnership. They are claiming it will be out this quarter, but we’ll just have to see. Wonder if there will be cheap upgrades for those of us who already own amplitube. http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM06/Content/IKMultimedia/PR/Ampeg-SVX.html

Edirol has announced a competitor to the MicroTrack, the R-09, which I find very interesting. The more competitors in this market, the better. http://createdigitalmusic.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1130

Barry Wood has his Oddities ’06 page up, which is awesome as usual. http://www.otheroom.com/namm/index.html

Create Digital Music blog has some nice coverage and analysis. http://createdigitalmusic.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1125

Create Digital Music has also managed to explain the Kore system from NI that I didn’t understand before. http://createdigitalmusic.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1119

Finally, Create Digital Music has nice coverage of the weird controllers at NAMM http://createdigitalmusic.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1118

Boy, NAMM looked boring

January 21st, 2006 | Category: Music Technology
nothing major or cool that I can see
It is weird that the most exciting announcements at Namm were about boring stuff. Live is gonna support intel macs soon. ok. The most interesting stuff to me is the stuff I can find out very little about. Roland announced the R-09 a new field recorder and then didn’t give any details (or a picture!). Native Instruments announces the Kore and then have almost no details. It is a hardware and software host and plug-in and universal sound format? I don’t get it, but that is mostly because they haven’t told me anything about it.

yawn

maybe tomorrow will be better.
