Geoff Grace Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 As most of you know, this year's Winter NAMM Show will begin this Thursday, January 23rd, and run through Sunday, the 26th. As always, anticipation and speculation over product announcements is running high. Please post your Winter NAMM 2014 reports here, for forum members who are not fortunate enough to go to the show. Feel free to discuss NAMM announced gear, events, and performances in this thread.

Kawai James Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Wow, this looks and (of course) sounds incredible! This chap has a fantastic voice too, and is a dead ringer for Nelson from Treme!

Steve Nathan Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 If you haven't noticed, I've been teasing over in the "NAMM Rumors" thread, but I might as well say here for anyone interested who missed it, I strongly advise anyone attending with even the slightest interest in virtual pianos, to make it over to the VIlabs room at the Marriott.

zephonic Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 For me, the biggest news so far is the first affordable ($849) Thunderbolt audio interface: http://www.motu.com/products/motuaudio/828x http://cdn-data.motu.com/site/images/828x/828x-display-iso2.jpg [video:youtube] gear list.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Grace Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 I agree, it's a big stepaffordability is essential to widespread adoption of Thunderbolt. But I can't say I'm surprised. I don't doubt that there's an R&D expense that manufacturers incur during the process of integrating Thunderbolt into their products. But once that expense has been absorbed, I imagine the cost of including a Thunderbolt port isn't that expensive or we would have seen a jump in Mac prices when the standard was adopted. I wonder how many affordable Thunderbolt products will be announced this week Best, Geoff My Blue Someday appears on Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reezekeys Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Looking forward to an affordable Thunderbolt enclosure for my 2.5" SSD drive I use for samples. The TB-to-Firewire adapter is a very clunky piece to have hanging off my new MacBook Pro, and its connection to the TB port is not very firm.

Tobias Åslund Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Don't know about availability, but I've seen Swedish prices for K4/K5 - and if they're correct we're looking at < $2500 Too much stuff, too little time, too few gigs, should spend more time practicing...! 🙄 main instruments: Nord Stage 3 compact, Yamaha CP88, Kurzweil PC4, Viscount KeyB Legend Live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
