NAMM 2020 : Actual News/Releases

Yeah, lots of firmware updates last year addressing bugs, and adding some user requested features. I think it has been a good thing.

I have been shopping joysticks for a while ā€“ iā€™m pretty sure that Doepfer is using the Omter OMC45 for this if anyone is looking to DIY.

Whoa! This is awesome!!! Command center status!

So Musicradar has an article of The Best New Synths of NAMM 2020.

Their list:

WINNER: Korg Wavestate
Sequential Pro-3
Nord Wave 2
Moog Subsequent 25
Sonicware Liven 8bit Warps
Korg ARP 2600 FS
ASM Hydrasynth (i think itā€™s here because of adding MPE)

Erica Synths DB-01

Didnā€™t sound all that good listening to the demos, but then it may just be a musical taste thing.

My god, thatā€™s looks like a stick-shift in a car

seriously!

All my synths have this lousy automatic transmission.

Any word on how much the Behringer euro case will be?

I think they mendtioned somewhere on GS itā€™d be around 150ā‚¬ after deciding to go for a mounting strip rather than sliding nuts which would have been at 99ā‚¬ā€¦ But then again I might just be trippinā€¦

They also took a vote soon after that detailing the pros and cons of strips versus nuts so the price may change somewhat, sound like they are very down to modify the design based on user feedback

As I understand it in the FB thread they aimed at a price point around 200ā‚¬ with sliding nuts and around 250ā‚¬ with rails.

Dieter Doepfer is so under rated IMHO, those joysticks are used in golf carts/mobility scooters I believe.

For the folk who were disappointed the last UDO Super 6 i mentioned had no real audio in the demo.

How is the megafm not on their list? As far as I understand itā€™s the first FM poly synth ever to have knob per function, pretty significant.

Itā€™s not at NAMM, and I donā€™t think it was a NAMM reveal?

Iā€™m really surprise there isnā€™t more buzz about the midi harmonica that was announcedā€¦

Want more demos!
