Buchla & Friends (synth expo)

[justin3am]

This year would have been my 16th or 17th NAMM? But instead, I was in DTLA at Buchla & Friends:

I was working at the Bitwig booth demoing Bitwig Studio 6, with their Connect 4/12 and our Impact LXmk3 controllers. Here is our table, the night before the show.



Me and my buddy Randy Lee from ASM.


Trovarsi and ALX-106 performing at the after-party on Saturday.


Bitwig booth on Sunday (Mea's doing a much better job of demoing the software, lol)


So this is the hardware forum right? This thing was my favorite of the show:



Poly have a made a serious performance computer, they were running Bitwig, some DJ software, and OBS. It's got 16 balanced inputs and some balanced outputs, ADAT I/O and it acts as a freaking Dante interface with and additional 120 I/O! It can be further expanded via USB-C. The stomp switches on the front are also knobs. The two touch strips are multi-dimensional, for MPE action. The price they quoted was much less than I expected.

Make Noise NUSS systems. I think I may be inclined to get the 3U version. It's has MIDI in, via USB-C on the side.



There was so much more cool stuff but I didn't have more than 30 seconds away from my table, at a time.

Probably more fun and less insane than NAMM even if you were stuck in a booth almost the whole time

It was a lot more fun than NAMM! I got to chat with a lot of old friends and made some new ones.
I do like these more focused/customer facing shows. I enjoyed the LA Synth & Pedal Expo too and spoke to the guy who puts those on. I've always wanted to go to KnobCon but I don't travel well, lol.

I'm finding easier to be around large amounts of people, but it still requires a lot of energy.
