Its that season again, NAMM has come and gone and left all the gear heads
with a glimpse of what is about to hit the market.
here are our top 3 pics of what looks most interesting from the show.
Korg has released there "Legacy Collection", a bundle of software emulating
the MS-20, Polysix, and Wave Station, with an 84% sized replica MS-20 hardware
controller. It has a tiny little patch panel that aperently you can use
just like a real one. Their new acronymn is CMT. no not country music television,
component modeling technolodgy. they have reportedly digitally modeled
every transistor, capcitor, ect. from the real thing.

The Moog Moogerfooger MuRF
multiple resonance filter array, said to be an entirely new "effect"
its a slew of resonant band pass filters and a pattern generator to
say the least.
It should provide a very promising look into a new direction.
