it's got all the same functions of the 825 but in a smaller form factor the
best part of NAMM is getting hands on with new gear that you won't find at
your local music store and that's exactly what I did later in the video I
check out the Korg mini log XD which replaces the old mini log but first
Native Instruments just announced the m32 mini portable keyboard guess where I
am I'm at the Native Instruments lounge I'm
here to check out the new m32 keyboard the really small one the m32 is $130 and
I think it's a great option for people who need portability it comes with
monarch and some sounds from machine and also includes Ableton Live light
it's got all the same functions of the 825 but in a smaller form factor strips
for pitch and modulation and you've got the eight encoder nobs over here and
you've got the DA buttons over here as well and you've even got that tiny
little screen it's making its appearance again
I also got to check out the very simple no frills no nonsense audio interfaces
the new audio interfaces for $100 and $130 or for people who need one or two
inputs but I was most excited to play the new s 88 keyboard this keyboard was
announced a few months ago but this is the first time I got my hands on it the
keybed action is just right alright after leaving the Native Instruments
booth I checked out the Presonus booth the new Presonus atom in particular the
velocity response was good kind of comparable to the Machine of micro mark
3 but not on par with the big machine it's nice and small and it's really
great if you want control of the Presonus da Studio One so trying out the
atom by Presonus and I really like the pad sensitivity
I also checked out the vintage instruments at the reverb booth I need
all of this stuff
so trying out the chloric mini law XD which is the latest if rumen or the next
generation of the Korg mini log it feels very similar it sounds very similar but
of course it's got a bunch of new features
from the monologue like the sequencer is now included in the new mini log the
mini log XD has the new digital oscillator which I think is the biggest
difference it also has the built-in sequencer now not something I would use
but it's nice to see since the monologue always had it it cost six hundred and
twenty dollars and I highly recommend it if you want to get into the hardware
synthesizer world it's so easy to use and perfect for beginners I recently
made a couple of videos on the mini log so you can check them out if you want to
get a general sense of the device I spent my last day at Nam with a takeover
of roly's Instagram if you haven't checked it out yet
go follow we are Roly on Instagram and you can see all my coverage I was also
interviewed by Vision Quest sound shout-out to Phillip you can check out
Vision Quest sound on YouTube I'll put a link in the description by the end of
the night I was tired but I couldn't pass up the beautiful fireside
performances at Raleigh's after-party the highlight for me was of course the
Parisi brothers
