Computer Hardware : Akai MPK 88 - macmusicIt's not official for now but it seems that after the little MPK 25, Akai will soon unveil its big brother : the MPK 88.

As we can see on the picture the MPK 88 will be a fully weighted 88 note keyboard with all the features of the MPK49 plus the full quota of 16 MPC pads, as opposed to the 12 on the MPK 49 & 25.

Music Hardware : Roland VP-770 : Vocal & Ensemble Keyboard - macmusicRoland is pleased to present the VP-770 Vocal & Ensemble Keyboard, featuring newly-developed Vocal Designer effects and high-quality ensemble sounds powered by Roland's exclusive SuperNATURAL technology.

With a solid wood construction and metal chassis, the VP-770 features a newly enhanced interface, plus expressive onboard sounds applicable across a vast array of musical genres. A high-quality headset microphone comes standard and provides the best signal path possible in combination with the VP-770's pristine onboard microphone preamp.

Performers will especially love how inviting and inspiring the VP-770 is to use onstage. It's ideal for musicians who perform alone or in small groups, and for those who need an interactive, real-time backing chorus. Film and TV music composers who are challenged with time and budget can use the VP-770 to generate high-impact choral, string, and brass arrangements on the spot. Churches in need of a choir (or choir enhancer) will love the VP-770 as well.

The VP-770 is also equipped with high-resolution vocoder modeling, which can be used to generate signature vocal effects for the dance music, pop, R&B, and hip-hop genres without the hassle and expense of a separate vocoder or processor.
