Whats not at NAMM?

I used to be a workstation fanatic, but I don't know why anyone would want to be limited by the internal ram of a workstation. Vi's and plugins are definitely the way to go. IMO

I just don't understand why Korg doesn't come up with a kickass 88-key Midi controller keyboard with big sliders, internal korg synthesis that acts like a plugin, and completely integrated to all popular DAWs. Something thin so that it sits on the desk without taking up room. I'm currently using the Korg M3 as a midi controller, but had to buy a slider and toggle controller to go with it (the sliders on the M3 are way too small). Also, it would be cool if they came up with a high quality interface built in, so that you could plug your guitar, vocals, etc. right into the Korg controller. That is my wish list.

Probably because Korg does not want to use the live players who mostly want a fully integrated keyboard + controller + synth engine(s)/sounds (+ sequencer/karma).

I'm not saying do away with all-in-one synthesizers. I'm saying come out with a new product specifically targeting the computer user. There is a lack of good controller keyboards right now and Korg could clean up. Let me add to my wishlist that all the sliders on the Korg are motorized and sync up to the DAW, and to put a transport control on the keyboard.

That sounds interesting, however I don't know if it would be Korg's main domain. Korg is about sound creation included in a synth.

Making a MIDI keyboard would be compatible to any sound, not only Korg sounds. It would fit more in the Komponent System for the M3 but that didn't have a long life.
