Apologies with the slow posting today. Caught up with the day job. Here's something to hold you over.

Via moose's NAMM set. Be sure to check out the set for more NAMM goodness.

  1. This year's NAMM just keeps getting better! :) Full of surprises... let's hope all the surprises will live up to the shock value with their sounds...

  2. uh. wow. really... Is this a joke or something ? Looks too good to be true. Then again, if it's true, i want two!

    I thought some manufacturers had some not very impressive products...

    This... is so cool. I'll have to get 2 other jobs to afford this quickly :P

  3. Some marriages just make me weep. Dave and Roger - perfect.
    I have a feeling that my poor Machinedrum might get into a jealous rage over this one.

  4. This is really good news; I had a Linn 9000, which I stupidly sold for an MPC4k. The feel wasn't even close... this is going to be fantastic!

  6. Oh wow. This looks amazing, this is like one of those collaborations that are just talked about on msg boards.

    Now this one is coming true. I do hope its affordable.

  8. thats the ticket !

    a dream machine from the eighties and the present and the future . the perfect balance . i just wish they would sort out theor typographic design work . . kind of makes a difference, but nice kraftwerk name ;)

    lets hope its the mix of movement/808/909/linn/studio440/mpc60 that should have already happened . . . major respect for dave and roger !

  9. The OSC section is called Wave Source... it's the first left block in the diagram. In there will be your Analog, Digital, and Sampled Waveforms to choose from. Then comes the filter and although it says Lowpass, they really mean 'Two Serial Multimode Filters with Ring and Cross Modulation' (using CEMs of course)

  13. I smell worried Germans...

    If it can do a decent 808 snare, my JoMoX will be on very thin ice...

  14. if this is the BoomChik, then I'll still need the WakaWaka if I'm to be able to finally complete the ultra porno music masterpiece that I've been put on the Earth for.

  15. Isn't the Waka Waka a new Seekers product?

  16. This is so cool! I love drum machines and this one would be awesome!

  17. It's a picture of a picture and everyone is getting moist around the gusset !?!?!?!

    And it's a pretty poor picture at that. The perspectives are all out, the buttons have no depth, the LCD appears to be floating, the knobs are all leaning to the left, some don't even have shadows !!!

    I reserve judgment until I see one in the flesh.

    Re-arrange these words....

    Hold, I, Breath, Your, Wouldn't.

  18. This thing looks pretty much like the definition of awesomeness... but it seems to be missing sequencer functionality (or at least UI). It's probably there, it's just not X0X style... which I think takes its awesomeness down a few notches...

  19. XoX and MPC style programming is the same in ease of use for me...
