looks like a cross between an ASRX and the Electribe series, shaped like an SP606... but i need knobs... the bender and mod wheel is cool tho... i'll look at it though and see whats good with it... they def got the right idea... the sequencer has to be great for it to make noise... also, the buttons look rubber... another plus... "clicky" buttons dont last long... if its small enuff to transport and it $500ish dollars, i might just cop one... i cant watch this around my RS... i mite not be alive 2morrow...lol

One of the BeatKangz said it'll be cheaper than the MPC 2500 so I assume it won't be nowhere near the 5 hundred range. 25's go for about $1400 which probably means it'll go for $899 to a Grand. There suppose to dropping it in a software version as well.

hell I want one! Do they ever say how much they will be?

 

[thedreampolice]

I cant give details but native instruments is gong to put out a product to compete with this, and it looks to be even cooler.

Thats all I can say until the 15th.

BTW this namm will rock!

^^^^ fresh, they already took down the picture hehehe I dunno bout native, we'll have to see about that..hope its not like the creamware VA's.

".hope its not like the creamware VA's."

Nope it wont be, its standalone hardware

 

[RigorMortis]

At least it looks cool!

 

[thedreampolice]

also look for a similar product from motu

 

[Shonsteez]

A hardware piece or software from MOTU?

 

[thedreampolice]

I think it is hardware, I am not %100 sure at this point

Holy shit that box looks crazy fun, look at the rez on the LCD!

 

[Formant024]

@chris; i meant that the creamware va were straigt conversions from their plugins, now that ive checked the NI maschine i can only assume the same. Which isnt bad, im not a battery user but its not the worst software, imo not the most neccesary plugin. The bpm is definitly motu (mac only thank u), i am looking forward to that...SP1200 sound...marketing lol

so here's akai looking into the barrel lol, still no 24/96 so im still on the look out for a Z8

 

[thedreampolice]

lol its all good

"The bpm is definitly motu (mac only thank u)"

Nope mac/windows

 

[Formant024]

^^^ its an old joke hehe, motu did work well with mac but if sworn not to go fw motu ever again when it comes to interfaces but curious about the bpm...wish i could be at namm!!!

 

[The Arkitekt]

theres a better pic, im curious about this thing too
