Well, I still want to know when Yamaha is finally going to release Toshio Iwai’s Tenori-On ( http://www.global.yamaha.com/design/tenori-on/ ), d*mmit! ;)

Any news on that this year, or am I going to expire of old age before it ever gets beyond an (albeit extremely kewl) prototype?

Well, this isn’t a rumor — this comes straight from Yamaha. Any additional details, though, are likely to be embargoed until the week of the show, and I try to play by the rules. The new synths are “based on the MO” line; that’s all we know.

I do know some other stuff I can’t talk about yet, and the general sense I get is that we’ll have a lot of interesting announcements at this NAMM.

Thanks for the tips, matrix + Adrian!

Any more details or a link on the Arturia info? Also the cryptic comment “New synths are nice, as well.” is there anything behind this?

Oooh I love the NAMM rumors even more than Macworld ones, but I want more details man!!!

The vestax vci-100 looks hot:

Finally, some pro-dj makers get into the MIDI controller game. It only took them like 5 years past when they should have jumped in the first place. Oh well, as long as they deliver the same rock-solid performance and feel as their analog audio mixers it should be a really dope product.
