Guys there on Musicplayer forum & HC forum..really going nuts and looks like a whole group is not sleeping there for the whole night....HC forum is difficult to access... :lol:
Also amateur musicians who want to be at NAMM are offered casual labour jobs on the HC forum by some premium members.....so that they can get the badge to enter...
we'll see tomorrow....what happens...
meantime., take a look at the flash movie at www.korg.com

Finally NAMM reviews are up!
Roland: V-synth GT looks extrenely interesting. Too bad no sound demos yet. It will be interesting to hear what the Articulative Phrase synthesis sound like. It appears that combining various articulations into a patch is the in-thing now - trying hard to follow the foot-steps of softsampling.
The new FPs are also interesting. New Progressive Hammer with 100 incremental steps - I hope they realised that this will only be brought to it's full potential if the sampled instrument has that number of sample/note. That will be impossible since no softsampler has even that kind of sample depth - not to mention a memory limited keyboard. Therefore, it will only be pure volume incremental increase. But audio file playback via USB - simply genius! I also see that they have removed the speakers facing forwards towards the audience like it's predecessor FP-5 - now the speakers only faces upwards. And it's nice to have a LCD finally.
The EXR-46OR - boring. I tried the predecessor EXR-40OR - sounds are basically from the world expansion card. They added more into this one, but I'm sure they are available in current expansion cards. Who would get a keyboard just for oriental sounds? Most already have a keyboard - it will make more sense getting a JV or an XV and that can be easily expanded with cards. The touch of the EXR-40OR is also terrible - plastic feeling and terribly unresponsive (no keybed padding - playing it is like tapping your fingers on a table). I'm not sure if they change the keys to this successor.
Let's see what else are in stored.

Korg M3 looks butt ugly.
But sounds nice though. (not at www.korg.com but at http://www.karma-lab.com/m3/m3_main.html)
Looking out for the rack version.
On the other hand, the R3 looks cute as well. Can't decide between this and the Xiosynth now.???
Why did Korg start using USB keys for protection? Bad move. Going to give the Mono/poly softsynth a miss then.
Arturia Origin sounds good on paper but is rather expensieve. Moer than a V-Synth XT or Access Virus Ti at the moment.

The M3 Rack looks better (althought it is just the M3 with the keys ripped off).
But what were Korg thinking. After all these years of designing synth, they still place the in/outs on the top of the rack; this means that you effective waste about 2 - 3 rack spaces to insert the audio/midi/usb cables.
But I like how the touch screen can be turned into a midi controller like the Kaos Pad. And how it can be expanded with a Radias plug in.
