Of course this is from my personal perspective. Although I often work on my laptop without any external synths I still lust after external gear. I appreciate the sonic differences and performability of a musical instrument that is freed from the limitations of buffer\/processor size latency and screen two dimensional touch-ability restrictions  and use them when I am in my studio or, travel budget permitting, on stage.<br \/>\nHere&#8217;s my list:<br \/>\n1.Elektron Analog Four- Super sounding!<br \/>\n2.Schmidt Synthesizer- not available yet but sooo amazing..Quite expensive&#8230;.quite<br \/>\n3.The Moog booth- that special Moog sound- Meeting Bernie Warrell<br \/>\n4. Sledge Synthesizer- look it up-sounds great-wish I was messing with one right now..<br \/>\n5.The lack of some of the bigger software companies was noticeable. I think that&#8217;s a mistake as there are many musicians who attend the show.. but&#8230;understandable if monetary profit is your perspective&#8230;.i guess&#8230;<br \/>\n6. &#8220;Mariachi Divas&#8221; live stage show- I loved the singers, orchestra and orchestrations&#8230;.and the fact that they exist and perform. Thank you!<br \/>\n7. Playing a Fazioli piano<br \/>\n8.interesting software-Izotope Iris, Air Vacuum Pro and Loom,SoniVox plugins-looking forward to trying the demos<br \/>\n9.Radikal Accelerator Synth-Wow<br \/>\n10. Cool Controllers- Novation,Keith McmMillen QuNeo and QuNexus, Livid<br \/>\n11.Apogee Thunderbridge-a symphony card in a box-connects your laptop (with thunderbolt port) to apogee interfaces. Yea!!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure I missed seeing great things or didn&#8217;t take proper note of others&#8230;or was just talking to friends when I should have been paying attention but anyway there&#8217;s my list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After seeing some other reviews of what was big at the NAMM show this year I thought I might make a list of some of the gear that I thought was worth mentioning.
