NAMM stuff from dano - 01/22/02 07:45 AM
Ok .....I have had a day of rest and getting caught up with the family .
NAMM went by very quickly this year for me personally . I did stop over to Yamaha , Korg + Roland , Technics + General Music .
I think George Kaye covered Yamaha ! Arranger's are alive and well ! The new Yamaha S08 was the most interesting item to me from Yamaha .
Roland ....as predicted will make the VA76 available for MI stores such as GC,SA,MARS etc.... I will not be carrying this product .
AJ + I were on hand to hear the Canadian product specialist demonstrate the EM55 + VA76 . I did not care for the sounds at all . Very disappointed !
Roland did introduce new HArd disk recorders .
VS1882 was one of them ! All price points for hard disk recorders will be coming down in the ROland products !
I did talk to a few friends at Technics . Nothing new to report . They plan on releasing KN7000 sometime this summer !
How about syncipating what's in the screen to the music your playing ? or putting your own digital picture in the screen ? Look for it !
Korg .....Sp500 will be winner ! It will take the Fp3 customer away from Roland . A new OS for the PA80 is available . The new Triton LE will be nice and the price will be dropping on other products !
I did not hear the Genesis . Chris Anthony and I have known each other for over 7 years now . He is the heart of Genereal music . I respect him very much . I know he will make every effort to make this keyboard a winner . It looked to heavey for my taste . General music is using Solton Germany to distribute products .
I do believe that CD capablility will be the future .
The new KETRON DG100 was a pleasant surprise . I was mostly concerned about the action . I hate most FATAR actions . However the DG100 action was excellant ! SD1 in a nice grand piano case .
That's it for now .....off to play raquetball ! and increase upper pectoral growth ! dano
