Musikmesse Posts are Underway!

Just a heads up, but they are rolling in as you probably noticed. Remember to bookmark the Musikemesse2012 label and check back often, but don't forget to check back on the main site! Tons of other stuff will continue to go up. As with NAMM, I will give the Musikmesse label to new product announcements regardless of whether they are featured at the Musikemesse. It's all about the new gear after all. And expect lots of German! :)

"A quick preview of Bitspeek running as a Rack Extension inside Propellerhead Software Reason. This is early technology and as you can see some stuff is missing (like a real backplate). But it is starting to work. (Thanks to Karin Dreijer and Röyksopp for the wonderful vocals.)

Propellerhead Rack Extensions and Figure App Technology Preview

YouTube Uploaded by PropellerheadSW on Mar 20, 2012

"We couldn't hold back anymore. We were too excited about what we've got in the works that we flew down to the Musikmesse Convention in Frankfurt, invited a room full of our friends in the press and development community, and lifted the curtain on some groundbreaking new technology we're working on.

In this presentation we'll introduce you to Figure, our new mobile adaptation of actual Reason devices running on your phone and Rack Extensions, our new technology which will allow third party developers to create fully functional Reason rack devices complete with CV, cable routing, combinator patch creation, and everything else that makes Reason so versatile and creative.

KORG Expands microKEY Family of USB Powered Controllers

"MusikMESSE, Frankfurt, Germany, March 21, 2012 - Korg expands its microKEY USB Powered Keyboard and MIDI Controller family. The microKEY-37 is now joined by the highly portable microKEY-25 and the five-octave microKEY-61 for the studio musician. As an added bonus, the microKEY-61 comes with the exclusive Legacy Collection Suite - the acclaimed collection of software versions of some of Korg's most coveted synthesizers, including the iconic M1 Workstation, plus effects plug-ins - to add to musicians' sonic arsenals.

For budget-minded computer musicians seeking portability and power without sacrificing keyboard feel and function, the microKEY is an ideal way to create a compact and customized MIDI command center. Free editing software and a selection of included software bundle licenses and discount coupons make the microKEY even more cost effective.

For added flexibility and control, the microKEY 37- and 61-key models both serve double-duty as a USB hub. Two USB ports (Type A) allow users to expand their control center by adding on a Korg nanoPAD2, nanoKONTROL2 or any other USB device. The Mac and PC-compatible microKEYs also run on USB power, making them well-suited for on-the-go laptop musicians. For iPad musicians, the microKEY-25 can be used to control apps such as the Korg iMS-20 via MIDI (see korg.com for details).

All microKEY models feature velocity-sensing mini keys, using the same Natural Touch keybed found on the Korg microKORG XL and microSTATION. This keybed has been designed with careful attention to the touch and feel: the proportions of the black keys and white "waterfall" keys have been adjusted for optimal playability, with a key touch that makes it easy to play chords, glissandos and rapid-fire phrases. The microKEY also accurately conveys the dynamics of the user's performance to any software package.
