Radagast Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Does anyone have news about new keyboard related products being shown in a few days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO42 Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Since I just purchased an RD-2000 chances are good Roland will announce an RD-2001... That's my typical luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doerfler Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 anyone who had news and broke it here before any official announcement would be violating a NDA, so don't expect anything before this weekend. Anyway, new keyboard products at summer NAMM just doesn't happen. It's a guitar show. edit: it was late and I was generalizing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksoper Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Anyway, new keyboard products at summer NAMM just doesn't happen. It's a guitar show. Yes, it's primarily a guitar show, but new keyboards do turn up. You'll have to trust me on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GovernorSilver Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 There's rumors of a polyphonic Moog called the Moog One. We'll see. I've seen talk about this on various forums. The price for an 8-voice poly is not a shock to me, but other features look kind of silly (in an amusing way), like built-in Eventide reverb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KorgyPorky Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Since I just purchased an RD-2000 chances are good Roland will announce an RD-2001... That's my typical luck Make that an RD 2007 i with the full soundset of the integra 7, 4 slots for acb/dcb instruments with added aftertouch... and i am sold. But i dont expect anything from summer namm, its starting today and all is quite.. Also the prementioned Moog one, so short after moogfest, is really unlikely. However, this week Arturia showed some nice things.. Like the keylab mk2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radagast Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 So far, the only keyboard related announcement I've seen from the show is a new P series Yamaha piano. Good. They don't have enough pianos in their lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radagast Posted June 29, 2018 Author Share Posted June 29, 2018 To be fair the new Yamaha digital piano sounds like it might be quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
To B3 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Wonder if Studiologic will be present with more info/videos/demos of the Compact 2x, even with the release date postponed, would be a compensation to those interested on the instrument... My drawbars go to eleven. Gear: Roland VR-09, Nord Electro 2 61, Korg CX-3. Hear my music: facebook.com/smokestoneband Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, over the last 4 decades of buying "stuff" I seem to have a knack for buying the 1.0 version just before the new and improved 2.0 version is released....

SeaGtGruff Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 To be fair the new Yamaha digital piano sounds like it might be quite good. Oh, ho, ho! Almost twice as many (40 vs. 24) high-quality "main" voices as its predecessor, the P-255, plus 480 XG voices! It's like a convergence of the P line with the DGX line, but better, given that the DGX line is only XGlite compatible. Michael Rideout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have enough pianos in their lineup. The P515 is a mobile version of the CLp 645, with as a bonus the (🎼high quallity) XG soundset and the smart pianist app.... which makes it a perfect choice for any kid wanting to start playing the piano...

Synthaholic Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I dont know if this was at NAMM but this is new: https://www.keyboardmag.com/gear/nektar-launch-new-panorama-t-series-midi-controllers A 76 key with a great keybed would be useful.

Geoff Grace Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 According to Zynaptiq CEO Denis Gökdag, "Intensity is the closest thing to an 'Awesome-Knob' weve come up with so far." It is said to boost "detail, clarity, density and loudness" using artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology. Here's a NAMM demo that doesn't do Intensity justice, IMHO: [video:youtube] Here are some reviews that give a better idea of the results that can be achieved: [video:youtube] [video:youtube] Intensity is available at an introductory price of $149 through July 31st, 2018. Afterward, it will be priced at $379. Best, Geoff My Blue Someday appears on Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 And its pretty pretty good. Intensity, that is. Edit: they indeed prolonged the sale price until the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Geoff When the Numa Compact 2x finally arrives it will become a target for companies like this. I could see Arturia also competing very strongly in the under-$700 market, pairing a great keybed, great controller functions, and a basic menu of sounds that you are happy to use.

Sundown Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I happened to be in Nashville staying in a hotel across the street, and I stumbled on the show. I went Saturday to the public day. It really was a guitar and guitar effects show, and perhaps a drum show. There was very little in terms of keyboards. If there was any real keyboard activity, it must have been happening in private showings and events. Sundown Finished: Gateway, The Jupiter Bluff, Condensation Working on: Driven Away, Eighties Crime Thriller Main axes: Kawai MP11 and Kurz PC361 DAW Platform: Cubase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Song80s Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I think there's no news because manufacturers are now paying lawyers instead of Namm... i noticed that some co's prefer to have lawyers run their business.

T thats funny My pet peeve is how tightly, co's grip their NDA's. Lots of fear going on. I think confidence and competence should be emphasized. Why fit in, when you were born to stand out ?
