MIDIPLUS on Amazon

"YK from MIDI Plus gave us a tour of the massive booth they had in hall N1 covering products across many areas. YK showed us the flagship X-Max keyboard, and several new products in the company's range. We heard about the brand's history, including early Chinese digital keyboard development, portable MIDI keyboards for personal computers, and MIDI-to-USB work with MIDI Man. They collaborate with many brands to bring products to us.

*X-Max *is the flagship keyboard. It comes in an 88-key Fatar-touch version, with three semi-weighted versions also available. It includes hundreds of sounds, supports split mode, and offers DAW control for Logic, Cubase, Nuendo, Pro Tools, Live and others. Features include Chinese instruments, velocity-switched sample layers, expression control, smart scales, a learning mode, arpeggiator mutation and chord pads. Pricing is over RMB 6,000.

The Titan Q4F audio interface is a new 8-in/8-out model with a self-developed FPGA platform, screen metering, Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX HD and LDAC, plus Dante, ADAT, S/PDIF and OTG support.

Portal is a broadcast-focused interface with EQ, effects, pads, sampling, presets, mix-minus and loopback. We also saw a *folding AI smart guitar*, a Bluetooth MIDI wind instrument, and an expandable DAW controller with up to 32 channels.

KB22 and M62: Topping - Music China 2026

video upload by sonicstate

Topping is primarily known for their DACs.

"Marie from Topping Pro gave us a look at KB22, a mechanical keyboard with a built-in 2-in/2-out audio interface, alongside the portable M62 interface. The KB22 is a recent release from the Guangzhou company, which has its roots in hi-fi products and is now moving further into pro audio. This while at first glance might seem like a gimmick, actually makes a lot of sense.

The KB22 includes mic and high-impedance instrument inputs, line output, USB hub, OTG for phone connection, and 6.35mm headphone output with monitor volume control. The keyboard comes in two switch-feel options, and a small screen shows basic data.

Its control panel offers three modes: pro audio, gaming and hi-fi. Pro audio mode includes 80 dB gain, six loopback channels, DSP effects, noise reduction, reverb and ducking. Gaming mode includes voice boost and monitoring tools, while hi-fi mode includes EQ adjustment for playback tuning.

The M62 offers similar functions in a portable format, with a built-in battery rated at about 6.5 hours, dual mic inputs, aux input, headphone output, charge, OTG and USB-C ports. It supports phone and computer connection, including two-phone live streaming, and comes in seven colours. KB22 is priced at $269, while M62 is $249, with availability via Topping's global store, distributors and Amazon.

Follow-up to Sneak Peak From the Halls - Music China 2026

"Nick's video of a quick visit to the show floor before the opening of Music China 2026 got a load of interest, primarily because Nick & Tami X ended up having a sneaky peek under the wraps at the Behringer stand...

Today the show officially started, so one of the first visits was a whilstle-stop tour of some of the new items - Kevin from Behringer gave us a look at Pro-16, RD-765 and several other early units at Music China 2026.

The Pro-16 is a 16-voice synth based on the Prophet-5 voice architecture. It supports poly aftertouch and includes a split mode with separate left and right parts. The unit is in final form, with global release already underway and China availability expected soon.

The RD-765 is a new drum machine with a layout that references Linndrum and classic Roland-style boxes. It includes classic FX routing, separate outputs, three trigger outputs, MIDI in and out, sync, and an input for sampling. It currently contains basic samples across 16 voices, stores kits, and allows different sounds to be assigned to pads.

We also saw the BCR-32, which includes a sequencer and four pairs of CV outputs. Other early units included a Polyvox-style synth, the JT-2 Mutator envelope follower, Mini Pops-style rhythm hardware, several controllers, and monophonic D-Mini, AKS-Mini and CS-Mini units.

Pricing, details and release dates for many of these remain a bit of a mystery though - I'm sure we'll find out more soon."

Skiff 2.0: a new sequencer, songs that chain, your own drum kits (M-VAVE FM-1)

video upload by Skiff

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

"Skiff 2.0 is out: free, open-source firmware that turns the M-VAVE FM-1 into a six-track groovebox, and M-VAVE's SMK-37 Pro keyboard too. This video shows what's new in 2.0 and 2.0.1, set to one song made on it: a new sequencer (notes that overlap, NOTES and FEEL on a selection, copy and paste), songs that chain, play once and change sounds, drum lanes panned and your own drum kits, one mute, one MOD page and one shaper, new save formats with a converter, and 2.0.1's fixes.

Everything you hear is Skiff 2.0.1's own code playing that song: the firmware's source, run on a computer, so the sound and the screens line up to the frame. Every sound comes from its engines and two user sample kits, and every key, button and knob shown is a player's, performed in the firmware at its bar. Nothing was added afterwards; only the overall level was set. The song is played with MENU › SYSTEM › CPU on 2 CORES (BETA): 12 voices. The FM-1 is drawn in 3D, its screen Skiff's own display. The editor and installer pages are the real 2.0.1 pages, the editor on its built-in demo device."

Skiff 1.4: now on the M-VAVE SMK-37 Pro, plus your own colours (what's new)

video upload by Skiff

You can find the M-Vave SMK-37 Pro on Amazon.
You can find a set of tutorial videos for Skiff in this previous post.

"Skiff 1.4 is out: free, open-source firmware that turns the M-VAVE FM-1 into a six-track groovebox, and now M-VAVE's SMK-37 Pro keyboard too. This video shows what's new since 1.3, set to one song made on it: Skiff on the SMK-37 Pro (37 velocity keys, the 16 pads as a step grid, four faders as a mixer, the wheels, MIDI OUT with clock), REST in SONG, your own theme colours from the web editor, each user sample's own level and sends, and the best of 1.3.1 to 1.3.3.

Everything you hear is Skiff 1.4's own code playing that song: the SMK-37 Pro build's source, run on a computer, so the sound and the screens line up to the frame. Every sound comes from its engines, and every key struck, pad tapped, fader, wheel and knob shown is performed in the firmware. Nothing was added afterwards; only the overall level was set. The SMK-37 Pro is drawn from that run: its screen is Skiff's own display, not a mock-up, and its pads and lights are the colors the firmware sent them. Track 6 plays a user sample kit: five drum sounds synthesized for this video. The editor pages are the real 1.4 web editor on its built-in demo device; the unit gets the same colors the way the editor sends them.

Testing an old VCO - Livewire Audio Frequency Generator & a simple melodic drone

video upload by DreamsOfWires

"I've been tinkering with some of my older, discontinued and obscure modules recently, so I decided to share some of my experiences. Not technical or user guides, just self-indulgeance. This time it's the Livewire Audio Frequency Generator that gets the perpetual noob treatment, an huge, flexible, and pretty damn good saounding VCO with wave-shaping, sub oscillator (both square and triangle), and a bunch of fixed or variable waveforms.

Key features of this are the 'Animated Pulses' and 'Alien Saws', which are both affected by the 'animation section'. Each consist of two waves overlapping eachother, and the 8 pots to the right control the pulse width and phase position of both, but on the higher and lower portions of the waveforms separately... which of couse can all then be modulated! Bonkers! It sounds great though, and you could lose yourself for some considerable time just listening to how these 8 controls affect the timbre of the two waveform outputs.

As always, running the module through my AJH Synth modules never dissappoints - totally vintage charcter and warmth, with no shortage of functionality and physical control. A great-sounding VCF based on the Musonics (pre-Moog) Sonic V, and a VCA based on the early Minimoog, complete with amp-like overdrive when driven hard. The Ring SM is also based on the Moog CP-3 mixer, with -1 & -2 sub-octave generator, and 3-axis ring modulator based on the EMS Synthi/VCS3.

Gear used:
Livewire Audio Frequency Generator V2
AJH Synth Sonic XV diode filter, Dual LFO, Sample Hold & Noise, Ring SM, Discreet Cascaded VCA.
Cosmotronic Cosmix Pro
Happy Nerding FX Aid (as reverb)
Expert Sleepers Disting Mk4 (as WAV recorder)
CASA Modular acrylic case powered by Konstant Lab StrongPWR.
No post-processing, just the audio straight from the modular."

SATURDAY: Elektron Digitone 2, Outbox 8, Analog 4 and Eventide Tricera Chorus.

video upload by Acid Gray

"Digitone 2 and Analog 4 on a melancholic IDM-jam building the first track for my next album.

Digitone 2 used for pads (Swarmer machines) plus Tricera Chorus and reverb. The other tracks are used for drums and percussion.

Here Outbox 8 really shines, as you now can use the DN as synth, drum machine and external sequencer - and still go for hardware recordings.

Analog 4:
T1: Lead
T2: Bass
T3: Additional Pad
T4: Pluck

Will use the DN2 / A4 combo definitely more frequently.

Had severe issues with my BlueBox today, as no separate FX tracks were recorded, although the option was selected, so I added reverb and delay in Logic X Pro this time."

NINE INCH NAILS - That's What I Get (Sequential PRO 3 & Digitakt 2)

video upload by nicola neeco

"I tried to get as close as possible to the original bass sound from That’s What I Get by Nine Inch Nails, from their debut album Pretty Hate Machine, using the Sequential PRO 3.

I used the PRO 3’s third, digital oscillator to approximate the original character, which to my ears sounds like a sampled based sound (possibly played on an E-mu Emax).

At a certain point, though, I came across this slightly FM-like sound that I really liked, so I decided to use it. For the drums, I used the Elektron Digitakt, loaded with samples from the classic Roland R-70 drum machine.

Knock Out 🎚️(Teenage Engineering K.O.-Sidekick EP-136 // MFB Tanzbar // Roland S-1 // J-6)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"A new little piece of gear joins the setup! 🎛️

This time, I'm introducing the Teenage Engineering KO II Sidekick EP-136 , a small but surprisingly powerful little mixer, and a very welcome addition to the setup.

And this one is a little different from my last jams: there's no external sequencers like the Squarp Hapax or Arturia Keystep Pro involved! 😄

Instead, I'm using the built-in sequencers of all 3 instruments in the setup: the MFB Tanzbär , Roland S-1 and *Roland J-6*. It's actually quite refreshing to let the instruments take care of their own sequences for once.

The Tanzbär is on Channel 1 , bringing its punchy analog drums to the party. Channel 2 is shared by the Roland S-1 and *Roland J-6*: the J-6 handles the bass and chords, while the S-1 also provides the lead chimes during the intro.

The problem? The Sidekick only has *2 stereo channels*.

So, naturally, I had to cheat a little. 😄

"88Emu emulates the hardware inside most Sound Canvas modules and related earlier sound generators, used for retro gaming and DTM. It runs the original firmware on emulated CPUs and sound chips, including the firmware’s instrument selection, voice allocation, effects, MIDI handling and front-panel behavior. You supply the ROM images; they are not included.

88EmuPlayer is NOT a DAW-compatible plugin, but instead a standalone application for playing MIDI files and using those devices from a MIDI keyboard, sequencer or game. 88EmuCli uses the same emulation to render files to WAV offline using a command line interface, without having to wait for the song to play in real time."

Sequential Fourm - Ambient Kinda! An Ambient song made with Fourm Presets!

video upload by kgbirmingham media

"Sequential Fourm – Kinda Ambient
I have playing around with my new synthesizer the Sequential Fourm. I decided that I would create an Ambient style song using only presets on the Fourm.
I’m Not sure it really is all that Ambient, since it does have an identifiable lead line. Anyway, it was fun to create.
Enjoy!
For the Techies
Everything was recorded through an Allen&Heath ZEDi10 and into Fender Studio Pro 8.
Fourm: The signal chain is fairly straightforward: Fourm, into TC Electronic Plethora X3 (stereo output), into a pair of SSL SixChannels, into a Drawmer MQ-2 EQ/Compressor/Saturator, into a Lindell 77X Compressor and into an Allen&Heath ZEDi10 Interface/Mixer and recorded in stereo directly into my DAW (Fender Studio Pro).
I created five tracks, using five presets, which I messed around with, both on the Fourm and also by applying some effects in my DAW. I didn’t use the TC Electronic Plethora X3, since I wasn’t sure that I wanted to “bake in” the effects.
The Presets I used were all in Factory Bank 2:
