They’re gonna set up a huge booth and get a gigantic crowd to finally unveil… LED brightness control for the Analog mk2 machines.

so lovely 
Does anyone have an idea if Make Noise is showing at any of these or if they might have something new to show?
Seeing that Tony was confirmed to be working Alessandro on something new last year and they were photographed having dinner with Suzanne Cianni makes me feel like we’re about to see a new make noise easel of sorts coming up.

A new 0 series based on sampling/FX would be very cool. It could equally be a module tho.

That’s awesome and very interesting. Some years ago when she was asked about Eurorack, she seemed to indicate that she wasn’t a fan of the form factor and sound quality (?). I guess if i made my name on and owned a 200e I might not care to look elsewhere but if something changed her mind then i am interested in it.
As I recall, that was an extemporaneous comment in the middle of a live interview, and I think some people read more into it than was intended. It may not work for her personally, but she could still consult or demo. Or maybe they were just having a pleasant social evening…!

This is also very likely but with it confirmed that Alessandro was working with Tony on something new and his previous comments about what the original plan was, it’s still possibly an easel. But equally it’s a 0-tape of sorts. Either way I can’t wait to see what it is.

For NAMM =>
On the guitar front, Fender and some others are now like “NAMM, who cares ?” ( My made up paraphrase. )
That all said Fender Audio is still there ( i looked ), just not their guitars.
Maybe there’s more room for some others. Like Verbos, 4MS, Endorphin.es, 1V/Oct, Polyend, Electro-Harmonix, SOMA Laboratory, Entropy & Sons, Melbourne Instruments, Playtime Engineering, Mellotron, Bitwig ( are you paying attention Ableton ? ), Nektar, jamstik, Joue, Embodme.
They’re all there. Plus listed before ASM, Groove Synthesis, Elektron ( for private meetings ), etc, etc. Most of these are grouped together and near the main entrance.
Also i see Vochlea is there, maker of the voice input software Dubler 2. Watching one of their videos, there is some hint they’ve got something new.

I think an 0 tape is a really good guess. I remember seeing this “Tony talks tape” video and being bummed that the 2nd part never came about. It kind of felt like it was leading up to a new sampling/tape style device. Perhaps part 2 will be released with a new module/device around Superbooth. I hope so…0 tape would be siiiiiick.

This will be important, with some new announcements no doubt.
I like that Yamaha is there too ! And Korg and Oberheim as well.

So for instance a new Yamaha digital mixer. Lots of channels, but in a smaller space. The DM3. ( Looks like it will be a series. )

Damn, this is nice, I was hoping that Midas would make a dwarf version of their M32R, mainly for live situation. But actually this one has the looks of a mini Midas. Like it (on paper at least).

I originally had hope of oberheim making a desktop version of the OB-X8 (which looks like it would be pretty easy to do seeing as the keyboard version is mostly empty space), but I think it might never happen now since dave smith is not there to help. However, its good to see them on the list for superbooth.

I think we will see more Oberheim stuff released with help from Sequential. They were planning on doing more models with Oberheim, and I think we will see them in the coming years.

Given that they’re in NAMM is it too soon for NINA’s baby brother ?
Motorized pots go way beyond one product.
I called it

This is probably the case for many companies for many years. Always working on new products, possibly ‘finishing’ old products but not always.

This look really nice! I hope touch screen is quality and responsive and control encoder is put to good use (I guess it would work in a similar way as Nob Control).
