For anybody who was wanting the Niko workstation, openlabs just premiered this at Namm. Its about half the size, but about 1/3 of the price. If only they had one that came in grey or black... |

LCD touchscreen 500 polyphony 4in 6out Run any windows program, including up to 200 VSTi at once Completely portable, but you can connect a monitor and mouse to it $1999 |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
in what way is this device better than a normal computer? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh only 1999. well, I'll take two |
||||||||
|

it helps you get more chicks |

its got cooler buttons and slides and piano keyboard dealie thing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it seems like you could just buy a computer, a controller and a recordy thingy for the same price and it would be more portable than this monstrosity in this photo... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pfffft you'd just use it to post on xltronic. |
||||||||
|
|

You could just buy a computer. But then you would have to buy two or three midi controllers, an LCD touch screen, a good audio interface that delivers more than two channels simultaneous recording into multiple tracks, enough ram and processor to run up to 200 different instances of VSTi, and a bunch of other things. Then find a way to package them into one unit and make it so that it all powers up off of one switch. Anyways, this is an awfull place to chat. Anytime I come here with something interesting, its just a bunch of people being shitheads. Have a good one people. |

I mean, why buy any kind of hardware? You could save yourself thousands of dollars and use illegal cracked software, or spend 800 dollars on a full cubase suite than only works half the time and fill your computer up with shitty sounding free VSTi. |

WHAT'S THE USE, RICHARD DEVINE'S GOING TO SET IT ON FIRE ANYWAYS |

This baby is hot and the price is actually affordable. I'll have to get some more information on this machine, just read about it on matrixsynth earlier today. Man I wish I could attend NAMM... |

god damn, why don't you fucking relax? i was asking a question, don't take it so personally. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i rather use vst's and any kind of hardware, then being stuck with one workstation wich you'll eventually discover the limitations of. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its actually 4 grand if you want the most amount of RAM not 512, and an extra hard disk. and dual core rather then single. |
||||||||
|

HaHa, Cheer up! You're acting like an idiot from a music shop. |

i really wasn't trying to be a smartass. did anyone see this pic? it's gigantic, isn't it? how can they call this portable? it looks like it weights a hundred pounds. |

I've spent $10,000 on a home entertainment system... to watch Vin fucking Diesel. |
||||||||
|
|

|

hahahah!! totally... but now you can remix this vin diesel film with fucked up beatz and lush melodies |

I understand that you may have been kidding and all that, but seriously, anytime someone says something interesting, or thoughtfull, or usefull, 20 idiots have to talk smack before someone actually contributes. Don't mean to seem like I was talking shit to you. Sorry :S |

not any more, sorry. slightly on topic. this thing doesn't come with any stuff on it, does it? so $ 1999 is just a starting price. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My problems with it are.. everything in one box. 1. if anything goes wrong I'm up shit street until I can it fixed. 2. Bluey Purple doesn't work with any of my outfits. 3. I need a 9 octave keyboard at the very least. |

I bet it's the kind of paintjob that shifts colour depending on how the light hits too :/ |

Exactly. There's no point in looking daft with 200 vst's going mental really loud. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not even showing a Vin Diesel flick in the background could remedy that |
||||||||
|

Maybe it'd work for a few seconds but that's about it. As you stated before, Dicky Devine is going to burn it at some point anyway. I'd prefer to keep that 1999 dollars in my pocket and listen to BIMYC. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
BIMYC!!!! I meant BIYC ofcourse. |

as would I, any day |
||||||||
|

It comes with cubase, a bunch of freeware vst, a couple other recording and mastering programs and a few gigs worth of samples. |

I wonder if these open synths feature dual monitor support. That would be sweet for live gigs actually. In addition to the on board display have 2 flat, touch screen monitors rigged up to it and have different modules displayed in each. Also, I wonder if they could allow for more than one pointer active at a time, so where a mouse can't be on two different places at once your fingers or a stylus could be manipulation multiple knobs, faders etc. if one didn't want to deal with mapping a hardware controller. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
manipulating even |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That would definately quell that argument against computers as musical tools. Two mice pointers at once... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I have yet to purchase a knob panel midi controller, but one thing I think about it, how do you remember what you have each knob mapped to? I mean, it would change from song to song what VSTs were being used etc. Maybe once I used one it might make more sense, but it seems like it would be nice if there was an LCD display that was able to show what knobs were mapped to what controls and so forth. |
||||||||
|
|

This looks pretty retarded. |

Personally, when I use a midi controller, I just use the autoassign feature that comes in most software. But most controllers come with presets that you can switch from, so you don't need to worry about getting confused. Right now, I use an X-station, which has dedicated knobs for practically every function of a synthesizer, so it just map my software to the standard functions of my xstation in the most logical fashion. But if you are looking for a controller that takes the brainwork out of remembering your patches, then you can get that swank new novation ReMote 25 sl, that automatically reads your instruments parameters, maps them to the knobs accordingly, and even has an LCD screen to list them for you. |
||||||||
|

|

I'll check that out. I would want to use it to control more than just a softsynth, though. I would want some knobs controlling synths, but then maybe other knobs controlling effects parameters on various audio tracks in ableton. Maybe that isn't something that can really be done I don't know. I'll have to look into it more. |

Probly not if you have it going out in USB, but if you having it going out through midi, then you probly can. Just make sure you have your midi CC# that are assigned to other synthsizers turned off so that it doesn't screw up anything. But that depends on what synthesizer you are using, because most don't allow you to change cc#'s |
