NAMM2020

[Sander Verstraten]

Hi guys,

 

with NAMM coming up. Anything you are hoping for/looking forward to to be shown or announced?

I am hoping we get a better look at EzBass

Would be great to see what EzBass has to offer.

Also interested in any new Fender guitars and the Korg Wavestate. 

[Fleer]

I’m all over that wavestate!

I hope IK unveils some cool stuff... Oh, wait, we will!  One is already out of the bag, but you'll know what gear is included during NAMM.  There are many that emphasize desktop studio/home studio use, both hardware and software.  Some mobile, but we'll focus on the already-announced Creator Series items there, maybe one more announcement that covers both desktop and mobile, and 2020 is the 10th anniversary of iRig so there will be a little mobile hooplah but not the main focus.

And maybe a little surprise that we can't announce until right before it happens so those on social media may want to keep an eye on our channels there if you use social media, if not this surprise should be covered elsewhere if we can make that happen in time.

Yes! This is an amazing keyboard.
I remember playing an original Wavestation when it came out, a lot of fun.
It is also interesting that a lot of the new workstation and synth keyboards being released are featuring a smaller keyboard.

Here is a coll video by Sonic State I saw last night:

One of my next toys will be the Boss SY-1000. It's been unveiled, but won't be available until February.

I'm hoping for a non plasticky midi keyboard controller. Roland must be due a new one by now, but then again a non plasticky Roland seems to be a thing of the past. 

Scaler v2 supposed be released to coincide with NAMM so interested to see what has been done with that.  I nearly bought v1 while it was cheap, but PIB wouldn't confirm that there would be upgrade pricing for v2 so I decided to wait.

Roland has a new version of their 88 controller with PHA4 action and MIDI 2.0.

Is it because an increasing number of buyers can only play with one hand?

Not really keen on having all the controls crammed in on the left like that tbh.

[Fleer]

Don’t mind that as much as the size (still) of any hammer controller.

Yeah that too.
