We’ve been receiving so much equipment since the winter NAMM show that today we’re going to focus on some of the stuff we’ve been receiving just to try to catch up on the list.
EMU Systems had a lot of success with the contemporary sounding Orbit and Dance Planet modules. Now they’ve followed up with the XL1. What can we say? It just sounds fantastic. In fact, here’s a quote we saw from a customer.
“I got mine a few days ago and it is a BLAST. EMU has done a great job. Beats, synths, pads, edge, hits, bass, vocals, kits are Superb. Fantastic features, i.e. arpeggiator, controller keys trigger, filters, and assignable knobs. I knew EMU would not let me down!”
New in stock at Sweetwater: One of the least expensive USB MIDI interfaces we’ve seen. The Midiman MIDISport 1 x 1 is your basic no-frills interface, but the price is right at only $65. And it is Midiman so you know the quality is there.
New in stock at Sweetwater: We’ve received three excellent acoustic guitars from Gibson. Gibson is most known for their popular electric models, but they’ve always had some of the finest acoustic guitars in the business. The new models in stock include an SJ200 reissue (model # SJ20ANGH1), a J-45 (model # RS45VSNH1), and a Hummingbird (model # SSHBHSNH1).
New in stock at Sweetwater: The price of good guitar processing just went down…again. The Zoom RFX-1000 is in stock. It sports 33 different effects algorithms that all sound great, and it only costs $279 retail.
The Kurzweil PC-2X has been in stock for a while and we’re selling every one we can get. Now we’re happy to report the PC-2 (76 key version) has arrived. It’s exactly the same as the X version in every way except the keyboard has 76 semi-weighted keys compared to the 88 fully weighted keys of the X model. The sounds are fantastic and the controller features will satisfy even the most demanding professional.
