A new batch of NAMM shots via synchro1 are up here.
"Highlights today (some are in the photos):- Thanking Dave Smith & Tom Oberheim for making new instruments
- The Nord Piano looks to be a nice live instrument. The word "noise" is misspelled on the prototype.
- Seeing Gino Robair & Mike Peake again after several years
- Eigenharp demo - 3 models now coming out - Pico is $500 US, new T'au model will retail around $2800, out in May. Instruments only work with
Mac; PC version scheduled for March.
- meeting Jurgen from Jomox and scheduling my SunSyn upgrade
- Analogue Solutions has a prototype of a new hardware sequencer in the Noisebug booth
- watching Dieter Doepfer patch away like mad and *really* get into, so much so that he kept expanding the patch as security was turning off the lights and chasing us out. Seeing the joy on his face while he worked away at an excellent patch that sounbded a lot like Trans Europe Express. I had a chance for an extended conversation and we shared our love of the modulars that were out of our price range in our younger days.
- bought a pocket sax - which is a tenor reed/mouthpiece attached to a modified recorder body. Sounds a lot like a sax and only cost $70. My original instruments were alto & bass clarinet and since I stopped smoking I might even have my wind back. Embouchure will take a little longer..."
Glad to see Tom back on the scene.
