Was there a musikmess 08?

Apart from the mipa awards, I can't find any coverage. Did the manufacturers all decide to give it a rest this year? Perhaps they are all fixing OS bugs...

I spent today at the Messe in Frankfurt and had a great day!

Highlight of the day was grabbing a front seat in a 1 hr live set from Howard Jones himself .... I expected a couple of tracks and some talk about the Fantom..... however ... he played almost a whole hour of his earlier works and some latest tracks too!

The Fantom G8 was front stage of course !

Sounds lovely and in a live set was great .... inc some great retro sounds!

Having a play with the G7 out front ..... the screen is lovely and clear .... I mean crystal ..... display is large ...easy to navigate and a joy to see ... even under the show lights which were v strong and hot! hard to take pics too!

The Fantom is a heavy board .... the G6 I am told was 12kg

Keybed has a lovely feel ..... couldnt get near the G8 sorry!

hard to tell quickly how easy it would be in the studio ... menu seemed easy enough to navigate round.

ARX boards sounded good .... editing functions were ... well lets say it will keep you busy for a while!

Build quality seems solid and substantial ... I think the G8 will be a monster if your gigging ... it was huge and a weighty!

So fire away with any questions ..... Ill see if I can answer!


btw ... Access also dropped a suggestion that the new 2.7 OS is almost ready and that we should see this in the next couple weeks!

The Snow was a lovely little box ..... like a mini Virus TI .. in the style of the Polar too!

Atomiser was insane! .... if thats your fix! ... not really mine thing.

Plenty of things to see ..... and play with!


OK enjoy the pics!
