The icontrol midi hub should do it when it's available without a pc as it acts as a host for things that work as class compliant devises and even though the XIO has a driver I can confirm it worked with out on my iMac at least the midi portion did . It's a little expensive looking at 179 I think ? ,...

Anyone with patience and a strong desire to help with setting up NRPN on my MPK49 to control my miniak ? I know very little about NRPN and as a result thought it wasn't possible so I looked else were , but something I read else were has me rethinking that position , but to be honest I'm not a 100% s...

Indeed this looks like the ah-ha moment for the iPad lots of people have been waiting for .

In the video there is no PC iPad or Mac .
Now it could be that you have to do the memory scene / presets with one of the aforementioned devises , but that is expectable / excitable

Such a thing is already in the works, they are supposedly shipping soon: You have to ignore the iPad/iPhone angle they are pushing, it is a MIDI host converter... pretty cool iConnect MIDI cheers ripe Fu#$ing sweet .... about time ! I'm with you Step , no 5 pin din and it is useless to me . I like ...

the correct part number in the ESQ faq is no longer available. The 312-319BF-5K is not quite the right part. The shaft is plastic and too short and will not allow you affix the stock slider cap. I've ordered a couple and they will fit and the shaft is just long enough to protrude through the plasti...

Let me know if you bite and it works as I think my Volume needs replaced too soon .

Absolutely. Sounds are saved by themselves and inside the kit and beat structures. A kit consists of 16 (or 32 sounds, haven't decided) and all the mixer settings (volume, pan, mute/solo, delay on/off and delay send amount for each sound). A beat consists of the kit settings plus the sequencer and ...

Well update .... Synth went very wacked out before it went to the shop so $70 all is good again . New memory bat , all connectors cleaned and reseated eproms firmly in place had full test of PSU and Mainboard - works great like new

It dose look interesting too . Thou I wonder if it's just a controller and tied to the computer ?
I for one am moving backwards away from that as much as possible .

Store retail is always less than the MSRP. As of right now, Nova Musik is listing their price at $1999. That's subject to change of course as the release is a few months away. Yeah they don't have one yet . It says call for price . IDK why they list it at map ...they do that when they don't know th...

Akai pedal bashing aside I have to say the Akai Synth station 49 looks very smart .
ipad dock + Audio interface + usb midi i/o .

Now if it has the MPK49's same Keyboard and you can use the usb port to input a second device to the iPad I would have to say genius ... have to wait and see .

$2,000!!!! :shocked: I guess this Drum Machine has soul? That's the same RRP as the MPC2500, but that has no analogue bits, so it's not all that crazy for a drum machine. (Yes I know the 2500 is a lot more than just a drum machine). It's also less than the Prophet 08, and it's got almost as many vo...

Good God ! que slow 70's p**n music . I want it in the worst way .... $2000.00 thou That'a about my whole year's gear budget

Anyone else get a warm memory of VFL displays looking at that O-LED ... and why didn't the daft punk guys have this in Tron ? lol
