monome

!!!

btw, this is apparently from the back cover of EM, Feb 09...

What tehn said! Looks stunning.

damn!

MOTU's really on a roll, check out this control surface for DP (called EuCon):

Surely Stretta can tell us more about BPM before tomorrow ; )

@snsr... the eucon also plays nice with logic etc.

There is an interesting monome connection to BPM. I was tasked with making a demo/feature/tutorial movie for this product, but my voice was far too nerdy for the voiceover. For help, I turned to our own Primus Luta/AvantUrb.

I believe the BPM pages and movie will be on-line sometime tomorrow.

Please, someone make a denerdulator plug in effect.

ps: the EuCon is a euphonix product.

Woa! On my way to the NAMM show now actually..I'll check the BPM out and report back.

@stretta

Any way to "accidentally" post a sneak preview link to that video here? ;)

woah woah woah woah.

at first i thought it was hardware. i thought "it says drag and drop. if i can drag midi and audio clips from DP to this, somebody hide the credit card," but the text makes it sound like software.

i can't wait for tomorrow.

yeah, the euphonix mixer looks starship entrprise, but for that kind of dough, i'd get the mackie universal control pro.

damn this, NI Maschine and BeatKangz...its MPC knockoff season. Hopefully these will up the anty and force AKAI to overhaul/redo. AKA re-employ jjos maker maybe :)

Now thinking it's just software. I think the "stand-alone" operation they're talking about is like running battery in "stand-alone" mode... :(

Still looks promising...

Nah, I'm guessing you can drag and drop in the little spectrum display at the top, or in some sort of file browser. It has a DVD slot in the front, so I think you can load in a disk of samples and go crazy.

Stand alone, means you don't need a computer.

If this thing is more than just brochure'ware (that image is totally a 3d rendering) it's going to be VERY special.

@JP

I hope you're right...

i say just software.

those sliders look little.

if it's software, that means the device is hackable, one way or another.

i hope it has OSC

upon closer inspection, does this thing have two screens?

this is going to be software, but it is still welcome. DP is good for live *backing*, but it has always lacked the ability to go on-the-fly and to jump around between sequences without gaps in playback like an MPC (or at least i havent found that ability in it). maybe it will allow Live playability in the DP platform.

price? please god, somewhere between Mach5 and Ethno ($349?)

Okay, I'm over the hardware lust disappointment. Looks like a great piece of software...

Any prices or release date yet? Looks pretty cool.

It's not real !!! I hate fake 3d hardware shots.

Haha, i feel your pain.

It sounded too good to be true. I think we're still a few years away from this level of functionality in a stand-alone box.

Looks like I'll be keeping my zap and px-7 (not a bad thing)...
