Musikmesse 2013 – the ‘international fair for musical instruments, sheet music, music production and music business connections’ – is happening this week, April 10-13, in Frankfurt.
There have already been a lot of announcements for electronic music gear being introduced at Musikmesse, including:
- A new version of Doepfer’s MAQ sequencer;
- The Nord Lead 4;
- A desktop looping workstation, the RC-505, from Roland/Boss;
- FL Studio 11;
- A new analog drum machine and analog synth keyboard from MFB;
- New Eurorack modules from Jomox; and
- Avid Pro Tools 11.
And the show hasn’t even started yet – so expect a flurry of gear announcements this week.
With that in mind, what gear would you like to see companies introduce at Musikmesse?
I would like to see a new ELECTRIBE from korg. And I know these next one is a long shot but maybe a new standalone MPC ( I know it will never happen). But you know stranger things have happen.
Simultaneous release of Logic 10 for os x and ios. New mac pros.
Not going to happen, but hey, it’s a wish list.
These + I wish Nord had a Modular G3 instead.
Speaking of wish list that I will never buy unless I win the lottery: Buchla news. Specifically :
– new webiste,
– EU authorized dealer and service centre.
– new modules.
– cheaper prices (yeah right :P)
I’d like to see Logic Pro X. C’mon Apple, it’s been like four years since Logic Pro 9!
I agree, I think Logic Express X should make its debut on iOS!
FL Studio 11. The most forward thinking DAW and company in the industry.
Or is it Live 9. I made the switch to Live about 2 years ago and have never looked back except for sparing use of Gross Beat.
acces virus with a minibrute type of synth.
I’d LOVE a new Kaoss Pad, not a + or an XL etc…the real deal, something with proper midi implimentation that builds on what has been done so far and takes into account what has been achieved on the Ipad and effects units like the Otto Biscuit.
