Korg has just announced 2 new Electribes that are more successors of the ESX and EMX series, Electribe Sampler 2s and Electribe 2 (like Apple: the new Electribe) both are subtitled as  „Music Production Station“ (MPC) – they are digital – they both got MIDI of course and can be battery driven. Sync via mini jacks that fit well with the volcas (analog sync). The MIDI jacks are connected via a cable/adapter – that’s why you can’t find it anywhere.. and they talk about „integration with Ableton Live“ what ever this…

MOTU has just announced the new Thunderbolt Interface Line 1248, 8M and 16A. Including a 16ch Interface (I really enjoy and see more 16ch analog input interfaces coming and hope for 24in/8out interfaces from Motu and RME – still for USB3 and TB).. here we go – looks like the 16A is my favorite one since it is still a more rare fact to get 16 or more analog inputs – I will buy one when the first 24ins come since I am still on MP with no TB interface. but having…
