This comes from Gizmodo and it's worthy of noting. It's the craziest new cutting edge musical tech instruments that just came out at
Musikmesse, which is Europe's version of the
NAMM show, only much, much larger. Each of these are an interesting new twist on an existing product.
The
AlphaSphere has a number of pads that each act like a drum controller, but you can assign any sound you want either via dedicated software or your favorite. Sure does look cool.
The next time you've been served and someone tells you "It's On!", show up with your crew with one of these babies. The
Steez Audio Type S (terrible name) picks a playlist, then automatically edits the tracks and tempo between songs in "Auto Battle Mode."
The
Endeavour Evo claims to be a keyboard with an entirely new way of generating and controlling sound thanks to its "Magic Key" technology. The sounds aren't that great to my ears, but it does have a unique way of controlling them by having touch sensitive keys where by just moving your finger up a key you can change a parameter. Check out the video on the site for a better idea of the concept.
The
Alesis iO Mix is basically a mixer/dock that wraps around your
iPad. I'm sure it's only the tip of the iceberg of future iPad accessory products, but it's the only one of its type at the moment. Check it out.
