Namm09 news websites ?

Post by spacef »

This site has one of the best NAMM news coverage on the web.
http://en.audiofanzine.com/

Any other links is appreciated too (so please bring more, sonic state hasn't even begun, and it is less good than before i think)..

it's a small booth and the show hasn't started yet. write those people and tell them that they need to check out S/C!

i can tell you this much, S/C is a VERY small company. they can use whatever assistance they can get. they really don't have anyone on the staff to attend to all these details. it's more about the product, which puts them at a disadvantage to those who are more about the buzz. it IS a very good product, however. a couple of emails might make all the difference.

nobody can do everything, but Holger and Jurgen are what made Scope great! Jurgen was an apprentice with Creamware in the early days. he went to school to learn more about electronics and became a key in the TripleDAT system, and then Scope. Holger is a top DSP programmer. these guys put their life into Scope, and bought the rights to it because it's their baby. they really are working hard. they have maintained all the old records and maintained the platform in the dissolution of Creamware in a manner that has been transparent to it's userbase and this was at their own expense. they are not owed anything, but it's good to keep our favorite bit of kit's parents healthy. we will benefit.

hrm.. I wonder if they could use some internet marketing? I'll think of something, since that's part of what I do. It's such an efficient way to get the word out without using babes and fireworks. Or wait, maybe those can come in handy too.

It would be nice if they put a blog about it on the Sonic Core website.

true, but that's very time consuming. better that the few employees focus on getting XITE and v5 out....
besides, i don't think that self promotion is either Jurgen or Holger's style, for better or worse...

The high numbers made me laugh for a while in fact :lol: (it was announced on other sites though, quite a while ago already).

But if we are at stating personal preferences the following is the only stuff that got me hooked:
- here
- and there
- or even this
- and may be that

(and i still think sonicstate has lost a lot of interest, sorry Neil B...)

wow, I guess the video and specs were more impressive than the gettho-blaster-on-hard-discount look on the picture :wink:
The picture calms down the excitation a lot :lol:
Thanks for this. I "just" need an xite ;-)

Yes, Indeed. :D

Btw, did you see the new Ableton controller from Akai? It looks very interesting & well built. :wink:

It's awesome fun. Tried it at NAMM.

I have a Timefactor, and love it.
