Studiologic (Fatar) introduced the NumaPiano and NumaOrgan at the Messe this year. For the first time a keyboard with built-in sound engine. Premium quality sound bank, MIDI section, Effects and Equalizer and 88 weighted hammer action keyboard. All in one light alluminium cabinet for a great musical experience.

The Octatrack is designed to revolutionize the concept of sampling. Recording sounds is a breeze thanks to the intuitive user interface, but the fun really starts once the samples are inside the machine. Loops are now completely elastic. Cut up and rearrange them in real time. They will always stay in sync no matter if they are pitch shifted or if the tempo of the sequencer is changed. Single sounds can be molded into any shape or form. The static nature of samples is finally a thing of the past.

Korg has introduced the PS60 Performance Synthesizer, a new breed of “live-music oriented” keyboard instrument. Designed for gigging and soon-to-be-gigging musicians, the PS60 delivers premium sounds and professional effects in an easy-to-use performance package. Lightweight, stylish and compact, it travels comfortably from home, to rehearsal, to center stage.

Consolidate your songwriting tools into one micro format with the new Korg MicroStation, which features an onboard sequencer, a 61-key Natural Touch mini keyboard, effects, dual arpeggiators, and 16 tracks of MIDI recording power.

Here are some pictures of this new synth (or is it?). According to Roland, the GAIA SH-01 is a high-performance value with old-school charm. You decide…

The Gearjunkies Team first look at the new synth from Radikal Technologies, The Accelerator. It is a polyphonic Synthesizer with eight powerful subtractive voices. Each voice consists of three oscillators, two multimode filters, 6 envelope generators, three voice LFOs and one section LFO.

With its massive sound, hands-on ease, and affordable price, the GAIA SH-01 is a high-performance value with old-school charm. The triple-stacked engine puts potent virtual analog synthesis under your fingertips, yet the control panel is so fun, friendly, and inviting, even first-timers can create great sounds. The signal flow is simple to grasp, with logically arranged knobs, sliders, and buttons. Hands-on control and fat sound make this little powerhouse a joy for music students, songwriters, session players, and live performers of all styles and skill levels.

Who says keyboardists need to hide behind their gear? Liberate yourself and roam free with the Lucina AX-09 Synthesizer. Lucina is compact, lightweight, and loaded with great sounds, all easily selectable with the onboard Category buttons. Plug in a USB stick and add backing tracks to your performances with the Audio Player function, or plug in an MP3/CD player and jam along with your favorite songs. This ultra-light synth is designed to fit all musicians — even kids. It’s super easy to use yet it packs a heavyweight musical punch with its stellar sounds and expressive controls.

Powered by two alkaline AAA batteries, the compact monotron can be held in one hand. Although small
enough to easily carry with you, the amazing monotron is packed with KORGs legendary analog technology,
generating thick and powerful sounds. Concentrating on the most important sound parameters, the controls
have been streamlined as much as possible. The panel contains only five knobs and one switch. With this
level of simplicity, now anyone can easily enjoy the world of analog synthesizers.
