It's indeed an amazing NAMM this year compared to the last two ones.

Even more dissapointing will be Musikmesse 2009 this years, I'm afraid. Like last years (where I could almost count tumbleweed). Because, what will they have to present?

Unless those who have anniversaries are like "one tool at each event". Since there are 3-4 major events this year, this makes a nice guessing game. And definitely some unique presentations. Then again, I don't think that this will happen.

But... I hope to see Muse Research at Musikmesse again. I definitely want to take a look at the new Receptor "MuseBox"

I missed the Ableton Live presentation(they had several DIFFERENT presentations), but there was a big buzz around them including Max/MSP inside of it. I think that was the announcement of the show for those who did see it.

Hi koolkeys,

Thanks for sharing the news with us. Sonic State has a video of the Ableton Live Controller presentation, it will cost $399.00.

I hope you enjoyed the NAMM-CAM Pacemaker Dancers.

I think Sonar has had that (V-Vocal) since a couple of versions ago?
Well, I mean real editing of pitch like Samplitude and Digital performer had now for a couple of years - but, surely, by their definition, Steinberg was the first to implement it, and I guess it will be ridiculous - as ever - to question that .... ;) - it is all just a matter of how people want to view things ...

(What is nice about Cubase implementation - if it ever works - is that they also transfer pitch bend info to MIDI, which DP does not do for the moment - strangely ...)

Quite interesting - personally I found last year much better - DP6, I think some Roland news and so on ... seems just to depend on what people are waiting for - if it concerns one it is considered to be better ....

One thing that is really cool, but honestly, I do not know if I would ever need that is MOTU VOLTA, to integrate analog synths (CV controlled) directly in youd DAW - that is interesting. Maybe I should start looking around for analog modular systems slowly :)
This and the better support for expressions in MIDI sequencers (C5) seem to be the highlights for me ....

oh, and of course - Max for Live ....

Ah, got it now. :oops:
Peace, my friends. I'm not seeking arguments here. ;)

Why NI just can't create the mother of all synths? So huge company.(don't tell about reactor)

...because there isn't such a thing. But if you stack up FM8, Absynth and Massive you'll get quite a huge synth mama...

Roland has released V-Piano, which does not use samples, but physical modeling. This could be huge, but may be very expensive.

they are 'Native' Instruments - maybe this means something to them. I think business wise it would not make much sense - if the use PC-technology for a hardware synth they would step into competition with partners (there are some outside who so that stuff), if they use dsps they would need to recode things etc -

Yep. Reaktor is a father of all synths... :D

Yes, I think this is a step in the right direction. judging from the screenshots I do not like how they implemented that, but I hope that other devs will follow (the mac ones especially - MOTU and Emagic/Apple) ....

It will be funny how all the Cubase user will from now on say that Steinberg was the first dev to implement pitch correction in any DAW and tempo editing in the Project view - but well, after all those years we got used to their special views ;)

Well, the pitch correction is NOT in the main project view. It's a new window that opens. It works almost exactly like Samplitude works, but with a couple of small differences. But it's NOT part of the main window.

Audition has had it as well since at least 1.5 (the earliest version I had, so I don't know about earlier).
