New MIDI controllers by CME
Music thing writes about the new controllers by CME (I have never heard of them). The VX keyboard line looks nice, lots of knobs to turn, motor faders, trigger pads, a ribbon controller etc. Actually, I don’t know who would be the target audience for this thing, as it has cheesy Alleinunterhalter-features as 2 mic/line-in channels and then all this controllers designed for today’s rather electro-biased laptop musicians. And it’s red. Somehow all that makes me the target audience.
They also have a nice controller box called the Bitstream 3X with like 35 knobs and 8 sliders, a crossfader and everything you need to control live audio today. If I was doing the music I’m always planning to do, I’d need this. Especially as it has a Roland Sync24 interface to connect old drum sequencers like my 606.
