[Namm 2009] Nouveautés Open Labs

[X-dark]

La conférence de presse n'a pas encore eu lieu, mais il y a déjà un communiqué (incomplet) :

Open Labs has announced that it will release the new "Gen5" series of NeKo and MiKo (portable) keyboard production stations. Based on the NeKo, the Gen5 models incorporate new features, highly sought after by today's artists, producers and engineers.

Bump MP is a 17-pad drum module controller with software sequencer that brings MPC-like functionality to the NeKo and MiKo. Seamlessly integrated, the combination provides flexibility and usability in a single, coherent instrument with "never before seen technologies" like One-Touch-Beat-Making. Included with Bump MP, is the first in the Master's Series sound library, exclusive to Open Labs. Featuring the latest sounds from renowned platinum producer Denaun Porter (a.k.a Mr. Porter), Bump MP allows the user to create compelling beats using the most relevant sounds today.

Riff is an entirely new virtual instrument (VST) host developed from the ground up by Open Labs, encompassing over six years of live performance experience gathered from major touring acts such as: Morris Hayes (Prince), Jessie Carmichael (Maroon 5), Jonathan Davis (Korn), Rickey Pageot (Madonna), Keith Emerson, Charlie Steinberg (father of VST) and many others. Its advanced features include: Live Controls, which allows the user to create any number of virtual controls in real-time that can be mapped to various effects and other parameters. Advanced intelligence allows any number of virtual controllers to control any number of other virtual controllers to provide automation for virtual instruments and effects. Rewire allows for this powerful host application to be used within any DAW program.

These and many other products, along with our Open Labs' new KARMA, will be on display at booth #5900 and via Open Labs' live webcast at: www.openlabs.com

Merci X-Dark la dernière phrase m'intrigue, je me demande si il y a un rapport avec la nouveauté KARMA prévue sur le site Karma-lab ?

[X-dark]

Je l'avais également remarquée mais je voyais plus ça comme une nouvelle image de la marque. Wait & see ...

[alchemist]

En effet, rien n'empêcherait Karma Labs de se lier avec d'autres constructeurs que Korg

This portable media work center was specifically designed for the electronic musician, music producer and today’s digital lifestyle.

MiKo LXD’s optimized Windows OS natively supports virtually any music application or plug-in developed for a PC. From Pro Tools™ to Nuendo™, Native Instruments™ Komplete™ to Spectrasonics™ Omnisphere™, MiKo LXD does it all with ease.

MiKo LXD is equipped with the new Bump MP™ integrated drum module, designed to allow the user to create beats and trigger any sound, loop or sample in real-time. Enhanced with a special Open Labs version of Guru™ from FXpansion™, key features of the Bump MP include: (16 plus 1) fully assignable pads, note repeat, max level, fixed level fader, transport controls, chromatic mode, hold, pad tune, multiple groove preset and eight engines with 24 presets per engine.

MiKo LXD is also equipped with the new Open Labs Mix/Edit controller. The mixer section consists of multiple fully assignable controls including: (8) encoders, (8) lighted buttons, (8) faders, (4 X 4) banks (total of 128 channels) and (1) master volume fader.

Open Labs Riff™ is an entirely new concept in virtual instrument hosting. Written from the ground up by Open Labs, Riff encompasses over six years of live performance and studio production knowledge gathered from some of the world’s top artists, engineers, composers, and producers.

The MiKo offers superior mobility in a compact package. It’s perfect for working in a project studio of performing live – where creating beats, guitar and vocal multi-tracking, and DJ/VJ capabilities are as necessary as playing a keyboard.

The MiKo’s assignable Master and DJ controllers elevate live performance beyond normal application. For instance, you can trigger Mp3’s in real time, then grab audio waveforms via the touchscreen. To top things off, throw some real-time drum, bass, and vocal lines on top of your mix.

Open Labs tech support can log-in to your system, and our online technicians can remotely view and diagnose any issue – while you are still in your own studio.

Merci bon ben ça sera pas pour mes modestes moyens :?

[twinton]

Une bien belle machine dans les spéc' ça c'est sûr, mais je trouve le design plutôt laid....:?

[fix77]

rien que pour ça, ils auraient pu baisser leur prix quand mème:dents

[Méliès]

Merci X-Dark pour ces infos !

Pas pour moi ces claviers là... et même s'il en faut pour tous les goûts et que le design est très subjectif, je plussoie Twinton, je ne les trouve pas très réussis niveau look... ce sont vraiment des tanks !

[alchemist]

Non, je n'étais pas au courant, mais vu que Karma-Labs est une société indépendante de Korg, rien ne les empêche de bosser pour d'autres marques

Excellente nouvelle !

Et voilà pourquoi il n'y a toujours pas de "KARMA MIDI" : ils prèfèrent se lier à des synthés

[eikyô]

Une bien belle machine dans les spéc' ça c'est sûr, mais je trouve le design plutôt laid....:?

Je préfère largement le design de l'OASYS :D
