Sadly, it looks like the MX-1 is a usb host for AIRA only.

See Roland, that’s that bullshit. KMI did the same thing with their USB Host widget. Fuck you, and go die somewhere buried with your abomination.


ahem.

In other news about KMI, they’re releasing a stand alone mixer/audio interface/DAW controller called the… wait for it… K-Mix.

i hate when they don’t do it right… was really happy because of the MX1 but not having a class compliant USB Host ???

I think we broke the TE site

#85

It’s not responding, only the browser line is twinkling!

#86

this is bugging me out. Im sure they are on it, but I geeked out and tweeted them lol. I spent the last 24 hours refreshing the site, now I can’t get it to stop lol!!!

Man, none of the finger drumming that guy was doing was sync'd to anything playing, and when he did a filter sweep on a 303 from the Beatstep Pro controller... how...

Fucking hell Arturia, get it together.
#89

and we’re back to the teaser page.

Beaststep Pro seems pretty dope, the P6 Sequential too, but will cost too boucou too

#91

no polyphonic sequencing on the beatstep pro, though? hmmmm. =<br>

well this sounds terrible sigh

tho to be fair. The guy demoing seemed to have no clue and the audio wasn’t line in. But still, its not promising…

#93

also, 4 bass synths in one as opposed to being intended to be poly. again, seems to sound terrible


edit the pluck bass sound is ok, but the brief pad we hear…

#95

wow@virtual_flannel


demo sound is Killer at least. this thing looks quiet interesting expressive. stoned and drifting ways up!
#96

what is wrong with Akai?

Any word on new workstations at NAMM? Since TE didn't give us an OP-2 (a Microsampler-sized workstation with expanded track count would have rocked) I'm hoping someone gives us a more portable solution (in many ways the OP-1 is too small for comfort). Methinks a Microsampler sized synth/sampler/sequencer workstation would sell nicely. If not, I'm going to have to plunge for a big ass Fantom :-/

#98

I’m actually super stoked about this Korg step sequencer:

Sounds like this is what you want. Microkorg size. 4 parts (2 digi, 1 analog, 1 PCM) each with a sequencer track and a vocoder. Sounds like a nice all in one little package.
