Last weeks post was about music innnovations. Were there any music innovations at NAMM 2015 (Winter)? Well personally. Hmmmmmmmmmmm! I think maybe i was disappointed with the new products this year.
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 Saffire range they do. Looking at the new Clarett range im kinda impressed. It does use thunderbolt. Would the Clarett be good competition for RME, APOGEE etc? It could well be. I am interested in finding out. Would i upgrade my soundcard to the Clarett? Maybe in the future. Who knows?
- LOGIC 10.1- In 2013 Apple released Logic X. It came with a redesigned interface etc. Now Logic has been updated to Logic 10.1. Even more new features. In fact personally it looks a lot better. Maybe i will try it in the future.
What other products will be announced this year?
Roll on Summer NAMM 2015
Until next time
