NAMM: Akai Professional MPD26 Winter NAMM 2010 Demo

YouTube via SweetwaterSound
"The new MPD26 pad controller meshes USB controller capability with the feel and performance of an MPC unit. You get a bank of 16 velocity- and pressure-sensitive pads plus assignable Q-Link faders and knobs. You can actually access four sounds from each MPC pad, for a total of 64 sounds at your fingertips at a time. Dedicated transport controls make it easy and effective to work with your DAW. The MPD26 comes equipped with many built-in features from the MPC, so it works as both a control surface and as a groove production workstation."

This plug-and-play controller makes it incredibly quick and easy to get started."

NAMM: Jack Hotop plays the SV-1 at Winter NAMM 2010

"Everyone's been talking about the SV-1's excellent vintage sounds (and rightly so!), but it took Jack Hotop's performance at Winter NAMM 2010 to remind us just how good the Grand Piano sound is!"

Cardboard synth gets a wood face

"This is the second and possibly the only other video I will post of my my cardboard synthesizer. As you can see I have upgraded the cardboard facade to wood and have set in place much more functionality. The video also features a Micro-Lorg and a Yamaha RX15 drum machine,

The reason that there will be no more video with this synth is that it is going to be scraped for parts for anther project."
