I bought this new plug-in called Plogue Chipsounds and took it for a spin. I must say it sounds fantastic. I’m going through a couple of the chips, perform and loop live to see how it all sounds.Best regardsCUCKOOMore on Cuckoo:http://www.cuckoo.noMore on Plogue Chipsounds:http://www.plogue.com

Akai Professional is now shipping its nanoKontrol-killer LPD8 laptop pad controller and LPK25 laptop performance keyboard controller.

The LPD8 and LPK25 are USB-MIDI controllers for musicians, producers, DJs and other music creators. Each model is less than 13 inches across and weighs less than a pound to easily fit into a laptop case, backpack or messenger bag for extreme portability. Read more…

2009 Summer NAMM Show: Hotness! Akai Professional has introduced the LPD8 laptop pad controller and LPK25 laptop performance keyboard controller.

The LPD8 and LPK25 will make their official debut at Akai Professional’s booth, number 400, at the Summer NAMM Show held at the Nashville Convention Center, July 17 – 19.

With the LPD8 and LPK25, Akai is taking on Korg’s nanoKontrol line directly. Korg’s nanoKontrol MIDI controllers feel a bit flimsy, so if Akai improves on this and stays competitive with their price, they’ll have a couple of winners.
