Konkurrenz im Sinne von Prestige im Workstation-Bereich?...
Heute haben ja alle Macbook, Omnisphere und Nord.
In conjunction with ARP Instruments, Korg has revived the legendary analog synthesizer, the ARP Odyssey.
Originally produced in 1972, the ARP Odyssey was updated with several improvements throughout its history and was manufactured until 1981, due to economic hardships and the rise of cheap polyphonic digital keyboards.
The new Korg Odyssey has a compact body, highly operable sliders, and a 37 note slim keyboard. In addition, a new ‘DRIVE’ switch is provided and connectors include MIDI and headphone output as well as Patch cables have been added.
According to the company, “Korg has brought back the ARP Odyssey for today, while preserving the basic design of the original”.
The New ARP Odyssey
“Together the engineers at Korg and Arp were able to nail the sound and feel of the original. Under the advisory assistance of David Friend, the co-founder of ARP Instruments, every detail was adjusted to replicate the original unit’s distinctive synthesis,” says James Sajeva, Brand Manager for Korg products. “Every aspect has been carefully considered to stay true to the quality of the original, down to the sophisticated semi-hard case.”
Korg has completely reproduced the original circuitry for artists looking to recreate classic sounds and explore new ones. The ARP Odyssey has been downsized to 86% of the original. Carefully selected parts are used in the familiar slider section, providing an operating feel that’s even smoother than the original.

Pricing and Availability.
The new Korg ARP Odyssey has an MSRP $1400. Availability is TBA.
Its Rhythm Wolf drum machine/bass synth may have had a mixed reception so far, but Akai is pursuing its strategy of releasing affordable analogue instruments by announcing the Timbre Wolf synth and Tom Cat drum machine.
The Timbre Wolf looks particularly bold: a 4-voice polyphonic synth that's set to retail for £300. It can be used as four monosynths, in 4-voice unison mode or as a 4-voice polysynth. Each voice has its own 32-step sequencer, and there's a full-size 25-note keyboard.
Tom Cat, meanwhile, offers kick, snare, hi-hat and clap sounds and chromatically-tunable disco toms. You can adjust the tuning, amplitude envelope and volume of each voice independently.
There are also six pads and a 32-step sequencer, along with swing, pattern select and tempo controls. It's said that you can 'dirty up' your beats using the 'Maul' circuitry. Tom Cat will sell for £150.
Grundkonzept ist aber zumindest aufm Papier krass, frontaler Angriff auf NI, inklusive "ey, wir haben alle, ihr wollt ja nur eure eigenen". Hängt mMn etwas davon ab, wie die eigene Software am Ende ausfällt (das ist Akai, you know what i mean), aber wenn das einschlägt, muss NI eigentlich fast schon nachziehen
Konkurrenz belebt ja bekanntlich das Geschäft - mal schauen, ob-, wie- und wann
Novation/M-Audio/ev. Roland mitziehen... !
M-Audio's name is synonymous with MIDI controller keyboards, so it comes as no great surprise to discover that it has a new range of them on the way.
With its Mondrian-esque design, the new Cube Series is certainly striking. As is often the case, there are 25-, 49- and 61-note models, all of which share some common specs:
- Smooth-feel, semi-weighted keybed with aftertouch
- 16 velocity-sensitive pads with LED feedback
- Touch pad for X/Y axis control
- USB Bus powered for portability and ease of use
- 5-Pin MIDI Input, and Output jacks allowing you to control your favourite synths
- Assignable pitch & mod wheels, knobs, faders, buttons (with macro ASCII support), and transport control with Mackie Control and HUI modes
- Split keyboard with four assignable zones
- Expression and Sustain pedal inputs
- 6-digit LED display
Each keyboard also ships with a software bundle that includes Ableton Live Lite, AIR Music Technology Loom and Hybrid 3. Automatic mapping to a range of popular DAWs is promised.
Expect the Cube Series keyboards to land in May. UK RRPs are £150 for the Code 25, £190 for the Code 49 and £230 for the Code 61. Find out more on the M-Audio website.
Roland JDXI First Look:
Ugh…das Fehlen von Anschlagdynamik und Aftertouch kann ich verzeihen, aber mit dünnen Tasten steh ich auf Kriegsfuß. Besonders bei einem 1400$-Synth. Abgesehen davon scheint mir der Preis fair.Korg Unveils ARP Odyssey Analog Synthesizer

Hey, das sieht ja richtig brauchbar aus! Gibts auch in groß.
Der Laser-Roboter wird dann hoffentlich auf der Musikmesse angekündigt.
Also, wenn da nicht wieder irgendeine berühmt-berüchtige "Roland"-Nummer drin steckt,
