Synth/Modular stuff at NAMM

[MrNovember]

I'd love for them to release additional "bits" modules that you could purchase to add to your kit for more advanced sounds and techniques.

That would be awesome. I really haven't used my Little Bits for a long time, more bits might get me to use them more often

Modernage is back! Great to have you around again!

[modernage]

sure some of this stuff is cool, but i haven't really seen anything majorly groundbreaking or unique.

Leave it to Teenage Engineering...

Neeeeveeer miiiiind!!! I was catching up on reading the other NAMM thread, and saw that you actually posted about the same thing over there. hahaha. Still stand by that it is the most unique thing I've seen so far. Also, what are you guys doing talking about interesting stuff in that thread? Shouldn't it just be about volume pedals and new paint colors on old guitars?

I have returned from my pilgrimage to a strange and distant land. A land called Muffwiggler. My eyes have been opened to a new spiritual enlightenment , and I have so much to share. Also, I've been missing you crazy bastards!

OMG! Oberheim is releasing the SEM for eurorack! That, along with a multimode stereo phaser, are the first of six modules they will release by this summer!!!

Video also features an adorable booth girl. As if there already isn't enough to look at this year at NAMM. haha.

Looks like there is some room to wiggle on those Oberheim's…I think that is good to see happen in Eurorack. Definitely one reason why I left that format was small amounts of wiggle room. Look like the Sputnik Modules and TipTop/Serge modules aren't very crowded either. I wonder if there is going to be a push to tighten up some specs/standards in Euro like power, etc.

I hear you Modernage…Muffs is where I hang out and read. Lots to learn there.

I was so close to buying a Beatstep last month! I guess the pro would be a better investment?

[Deltaphoenix]

I would say yes. Even if you aren't initially sequencing a bunch of things, you have something you can grow with. Also, the Pro addresses what a lot BeatStep users thought were shortcomings Ex.- The Pro can accept clock instead of having to be the master clock, there are a couple more improvements like swing, probability/random, rolls, etc.

I would say the Beatstep Pro is the most likely thing from this NAMM that I will get (at least anytime soon).

[modernage]

New Expert Sleepers module seems handy. I can see myself ending up with a row of just his modules. Already have two, with plans on buying two more asap, and this new one would be great for incorporating some things I already have lying around the studio.

I would agree with this too.

yea they are cool and i love TE. OP1 changed my life. i guess i kinda see them like volca-lites, but don't play as friendly w/ other gear. and lord knows i don't need more blip toys. i've been kind of on a slim kick anyway.
