Geoff Grace Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 This year's Summer NAMM Show will take place on two days: Thursday, July 15, and Friday, July 16, at the Nashville Music City Center. As most people here are aware, Summer NAMM shows never have as many releases as Winter NAMM shows do; but there should at least be a keyboard (or virtual instrument) product or two worthy of mention. Due to the pandemic, Health and Safety Measures have been put in place. I wish you a healthy and safe trip, if you decide to go. As always... Please post your Summer NAMM 2021 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.

Geoff Grace Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 I don't know how many here remember the JoMoX SunSyn, released around the time this forum started. Well it's back (sort of), in the form of a softsynth from UVI: PX SunBox Normally $79.00, it's currently on introductory price for $49.00 through July 12.

Mark Schmieder Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 There's a huge wood shortage so I wonder if that will affect new guitar and bass showings? Not sure which supply chain issue is the bigger one: raw materials like wood, or high-tech like circuit boards and chips.

Not sure which supply chain issue is the bigger one: raw materials like wood, or high-tech like circuit boards and chips. I noticed Guitar Center is running a promotion where they are paying an extra premium to sellers of used gear -- but specifically only for used guitars and basses.

Docbop Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Video from Sweetwater. Interesting comment about just getting products into stores cause shipping is still a mess. Also new companies have good opportunity right now due to current environment. [video:youtube] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reezekeys Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Those pedals actually look pretty cool to me since there hasn't been that kind of symbiosis (can't believe I just thought of that word!) between hard and software that involves a small & portable piece like this â at least in the efx pedal space, afaik. Spec and feature-wise these things seem to go far beyond typical analog guitar pedals, or even the pedals with built-in digital effects. A guitarist stuck recording somewhere without a good tube amp (or space or mic to record it) could pack one of these along and be fairly well covered, I would think. What I don't get is that the chassis of all four pedals look identical as to the placement of controls and the LCD. Since everything is done with DSP, why do you need four separate pedals? Why can't you load any algorithm from one pedal into another? And as far as I can tell there's no mention of latency anywhere. This might make one a wee bit suspicious, if not at least curious. It's all interesting but in the end makes me feel lucky that the instrument I play is software based to begin with. Anything special I need to do to my sound, I'll just download to my computer or iPad â which I'm already bringing to gigs anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Williams Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 I wonder if Boss Bluetooth MIDI will work with the AX-Edge. The two-switch input makes me think of Volume, Damper, and Rotor Speed.
