Winter NAMM 2010

[64Guitars]

Winter NAMM 2010 starts January 14th and runs till the 17th in Anaheim, California. I assume that Roland will disappoint us once again with no new recorders, but you never know. In any case, it might be interesting to see what Zoom, TASCAM, Fostex, Yamaha, etc. have in store.

I've marked the date on the new calendar.

Harmony Central will be posting press releases and new product announcements here:

Yes, that's true, not at NAMM......but I know that new recorders are being tested.

Korg announced a couple of new products that might be of interest to people here.


Sound on Sound Unlimited Track Recorder

• Pocket size - a bit thicker than a Micro BR (1.3" vs 0.875") but narrower (2.72" vs 3.25") and about the same length (5.31" vs 5.375")
• Number of tracks limited only by memory card size.
• Accepts microSDHC cards up to 16GB.
• Tracks are stored as 44.1 kHz/16-bit WAV files, so they can be copied directly into your favourite DAW without any conversion.
• 100 built-in effects and 50 rhythms.
• Touchscreen LCD
• Built-in stereo condenser microphone and speaker.
• Available April 2010
• USD$ 299.99

KAOSSILATOR PRO

• Available May 2010
• USD$ 399.99

This is an interesting idea. A tuner that shows you the status of all six strings at once. Just strum the open strings and look at the display to see which strings are sharp and which are flat. Great for live performers.

Available February 2010 for $149 MSRP (USD)

That sounds very interesting. "Number of tracks limited only by memory card size..." The price is USD$ 299.99... By the way, what was the price of MBR when it was released?

I've been in lurk mode lately, but I knew this video would pique the interest of a few of you.  Not cheap, but it looks pretty powerful.

FYI, there's a 30 second ad before the demo begins.
