| I don't know why Yamaha don't take a clavinova keybed, put 8 faders and knobs on it, give it good connectivity and laugh at the thousands of units they sell at $1500 |

A couple of new Waves plugins, Metafilter and Abbey Road Reel ADT (Artifical Double Tracking). Both are apparently available at an intro price of $99:

The V25 (the smaller one) looks to me like the perfect mini keyboard. Bigger keys AND pitch/mod wheels. It's not as portable as some, but I still like it.
A lot.

I REALLY like the look of that. Big keys (the nearly look weighted?) and the drum pads are a nice touch. Hmmmmmmm |

you really have to pay for an actual weighted keyboard. |
Weighted keys are not appropriate for all things. I already have a Yamaha keyboard with their graded hammer technology (best in the biz) for strings, piano and such. I need a good synth action keyboard for drums, leads and so on.

I'll give this a try when it comes out, but I'm not particularly impressed. I think the location of the drum pads is retarded, for two reasons.
1. You can't use your right hand for drums. That's the whole reason why other controllers have them above the keybed.
2. The pitch/mod wheels are now in a bad position, relative to the keybed.

There would only be 3 people in the world that buy it, unfortunately.
You don't need a good keyboard to tap in a big room house melody at full velocity or sidechain maximum analog on the drop. |

I actually know more than 3 that would buy it.
The score/game market is big. Almost all of them are trained musicians in some way and a large weighted midi controller with modwheels and sliders is pretty much what they're looking for. Sliders are important for expression etc. |

these interfaces with built in dsp are a smart move from uaudio i think - its hard to get people buying PCI cards these days and then buy their plugins, i dont think i would do it again if i hadnt already got my cards years ago
This way u buy a nice tidy audio interface, a few vouchers included as ever i assume, which gets u into the plugin world and as any uad owner knows its hard to resist buying plugs after demo-ing them especially if theres a sale etc... |
