Anyone have any rumours about what, if anything, Korg may offer at the Anaheim NAMM show next month?
Ciao,
Jerry

A new guitar tuner? :D

But really I'm thinking they might expand on the M3 line a bit, like they did with the Triton series.

One given is the Kaossilator, which we already know about (Korg UK website).

I would guess that a new MIDI controller keyboard is on the cards, maybe with the new M3 homegrown keybed. Similarly another product range that hasn't had an update for a while is the Electribes so maybe we'll see something new there too.

Korg Oasys OS 2.0 ... now that might be very interesting 8) That's not a rumour, it's just my wishful thinking ;-)

At least some new samples & programs for the M3 will be forthcoming.

I vote for a more budget-friendly field recorder.

Gorilla,
Last year you gave a great report for all of us who were not fortunate enough to attend the show. Would you ask the Korg reps about an arranger module for me again this year? :lol:
Ciao,

JerryT, my pleasure. Will do. An arranger module, would this be something that would replace the keyboards? Do they exist in other manufacture formats? :?:

What could we expect maybe Arranger keyboard update..
since most Keyboard manufacturers, especially KORG, are focusing more on Arranger keyboards rather than Workstations.... !

I know Roland have discontinued there Fantom X range and are now doing cheap deals to get rid of them over here.

There is a big hint!!!!

I have been told they are releasing their version of the Oasys Killer!! I nearly fell on the ground and started laughing, the only way Roland could make a Oasys killer is if they release a hammer with Roland on it.

Gorilla,
An arranger module, for me at least, will not replace my keyboard. It will add flexibility. I will use it with various connected controllers. Most of my gigs call for midi accordion as well as boards. I also use a couple of other types of controllers including a strap-on keyboard. Now that I have wireless midi, a module would be ideal, that is; An interactive arranger module based on the PA-800 or PA2XPRO.
My first experience with midi was with the Korg i5M. in 1999 korg released the i40M and I used it on gigs until about 2 years ago. IMHO, the best arranger module on the market today is the GEM Genesys XP. Ketron has several arrangers available and just recently upgraded the Midjay. Orla and a couple of other companies continue to offer arranger modules.
I know a couple of midi guitarists that use various arranger modules with their midi guitar. Here is a video of a guitar player using one of the Ketron arrangers. It appears that he is changing the chords with a peddle board and playing the sounds on the guitar.

No matter bro … have a good time at the show.
