It isn’t easy! Attending such a big event as the MusikMesse. Talking to hundreds of people, making and maintaining contacts with manufacturers, developers, “mad scientists”, etc. Our two “roving” reporters are doing a good job in collecting the latest news for you. Next to the offical news they heart some rumours on the Messe “through the grapevine”.
First off. We found out that there are some rumours of Alesis buying AKAI! So we think Akai Professional been taken over by Alesis!? This would be some major news. We will definately follow this story.
Our reporters walked the floors of the Messe for two whole (exhausting) days. They took a lot of pictures for our archives. We can’t show them all, but we give you a selection of them here.

It’s time for the Gearjunkies Messe 2005 Roundup! We are back, gave all the gear a place, and ready for our take on what is going on in the Gear industry at this time and day! After some tossing, we came up with, what we thought, was the most cool and innovative new products at the 2005 show.
We announced sometime ago the Vestax Groovecaster.
A turntable/guitar. We did not take this seriously, but its a fact now. On the Frankfurt Messe Vestax showed us the STC-V1.
We did not get any information about this mixer, and we found it hidden in a rack.
The R1 premium II look nice old skool with the VU meters and is a 5 channel rack mixer.
Unfortunately we do not know any prices, but we will keep you up to date about this product
