ALPHASPHERE-A NEW WAY TO MAKE MUSIC?

What is it? Well its basically a sphere with pads on the side. It is like a midi controller, sampler & sequencer. All the pads are pressure sensitive. Created by the company Nu Design. To use Alphasphere you really need to use the software Alphalive. The Alphasphere looks quite interesting. Would i like to try one? Yes i would. I think for stage use i think it could be quite good. In the studio? Im not so sure.   Until next time. Law Official Website LW Music Services Twitter Facebook (Law) Facebook (LW Music Services)

Here's a few products announced: ROLAND JD-Xi - Analog/ Digital synth. It looks ok. It does remind me of the Korg Microkorg, Novation Mininova etc. I have to say i'm a bit disappointed with this. I was hoping Roland would come out wity something completely new. Oh well. KORG ARP ODYSSEY- I have never played an original Arp Odyssey. Is Korgs version going to be the nearest i get? Hopefully this year i will get to try Korgs version & see what it's like. NOVATION LAUNCHPAD PRO- If you use Ableton etc you may of heard of the Launchpad, well this is a new version with more features. Looking at it yes i think the new features would be useful. If you already have the launchpad would you upgrade? I'm not sure i would. FOCUSRITE CLARETT- I am a fan of Focusrite. I do like the S...
