My first appointment at NAMM was with Arturia, and this video shows you why! That Matrixbrute is insane, and the KeyStep is going to be a welcome addition to many setup as well.

Spoke to Dan Gill from Akai Pro about the MPC 2.0 software that is currently in the works. There are some really cool features including full audio track support, real-time timestretch, new fx, and more. Definitely looking forward to this.

Demo of Yamaha’s new Montage workstation. Has the acoustic instrument engine as well as an FM synthesis engine, along with lots of control, modulation, and a touch screen.
