Music Hardware : Roland MC-808 Groovebox with Motorized Faders - macmusicFrom the company that made "groovebox" a household name comes an addition to the famous Roland MC family: the MC-808. The sleek, silver powerstation features eight motorized faders on its surface — a groovebox first!

The MC-808 shares two key attributes with the flagship MC-909: The same sampling and sequencing features that made the MC-909 so famous are built into the MC-808, making it a serious tool for sampling, editing, track building, and mixing. Performers are in for an extra treat with the MC-808, however, as is the world's first groovebox with motorized faders. No matter what pattern is called up, the faders will snap to the proper position. As a result, the parameter values and position of the faders always correspond, allowing the performer to see the values instantly and make changes directly. No more unexpected jumps in values when a fader is grabbed in mid-performance. It's always in the right position.

Music Hardware : Akai EWI4000S is going with the wind - macmusicAkai announced its new impersonation of MIDI wind controller the EWI4000S. It's much more than the previous models as it's now an analogue modeled synth (built in), so it sports MIDI in and out ports. But it's not everything, there's some effect processing too: reverb, delay, and chorus, another first in wind controllers. And for the complete image, there's a dedicated software for editing sounds which are stored in the EWI4000S synth.

Now, when will we have the relevant guitar rigg?
