some of the notables that are coming out slowly:

AKAI MPK49 MIDI controller:

Seems alot like the M-Audio Axiom controller I own. A matrix of velocity pads which have some of the features Akai is known for i.e. Note Repeat. Very cool on board arpeggiator which Axiom doesn't have and the same semi-weighted, aftertouch keys they both have. If it's priced right it could be a big hit in the controller market.

That looks real nice. There is an IK library called SampleMOOG you would like. Get your Taurus fix!

I did see that I'd still just go the route of using that VST thing that Smartelectronix makes:


and a decent midi footpedal.

Even better check this out the Arturia Origin keyboard:


probably costs an arm and two legs though

edit: checking out the IK stuff. man they got the polymoog and the memorymoog samples, nice....

wow, it does look nice, if they would produce a MPK61 (with one more octave) it would be a product that I'll take a very close look and even buy. It does look a little too plastic to me though (check the large photo in their site).
The Origin Keyboard does look impressive, but the Origin Synth alone cost 3000 dollars, so I guess that the price of this one would be far out of my budget, we'll have to wait till may.

Cheers,

I'm pretty excited to try out a space echo re-20.

[dolivas]

someone fax Behringer Space Echo schematics

[Nubus]

How the heck can they not get sued for those?

[dolivas]

i think for the Space chorus they can get away with it, dunno how long that patent on it has been active. but yeah the Delay is pure copy of the Echo Park which is a copy of Boss etc. etc.
