Korg 05R/W
The 05R/W is a half-rack synth-module with a built-in PC and Macintosh
compatible interface which was designed for multi media. Features are
6 megabytes of PCM sounds, 228 programs (100 RAM, 128 ROM), eight drum
kits, 100 combinations, and two effect processors. Polyphony is 32
voices. It also offers 16-channel multi-timbrality and General MIDI
compatibility.
Kawai RV4 and GMega
The new Kawai RV4 stereo effect processor comes as an 1U rack-module.
It has four processors as well as four inputs and outputs which can be
used seperately or in different combinations. Features are 18-bit
DAC, a 48 kHz sampling rate, extensive MIDI control, 19 effect types,
50 user and 50 preset programs. It even offers digital optical
AES/EBU stereo ins and outs.
Kawai showed their new GMega General MIDI synth module on the
Frankfurter Messe in Germany. It comes with a built-in serial device
for use with a computer. The GMega features 32-note polyphony, 6
megabytes of PCM samples, editing features (sweepable filters,
comprehensive envelopes and 55 tuning temperaments), an effect section
and two MIDI inputs.
GEM S2/S3 Turbokit, S4 and S2/R
The new Turbokit for the S2/S3 is a plug-in option and features 500
ROM sounds and 32-voice polyphony. Besides it offers new sound edit
options, e.g. pictorial waveform editing, multi-function sound
creation capabilities and new sequencer functions, among other ones
also a new pattern sequencer. The Turbokit also allows to load
samples directly from disks of Akai sample libraries, and it includes
an optional memory expansion for future upgrades.
The GEM S4 features the tone generation of the S2/S3 combined with 88
weighted keys. Nothing amazing, but worth to take a look at it
anyway.
The rack-version of the GEM S2 is now available and is called GEM
S2/R.
Mackie 1604 Mixer Automation OTTO-1604
Mackie have finally realeased the MIDI controlled automation for their
excellent 1604 Mixer. They have also designed a special software tool
called "OTTOmix" for the Apple Macintosh (booooo!) which is compatible
with MIDI Manager and Opcode's MIDI System. It allows the comfortable
control of faders, aux sends and mutes as well as snapshots.
Tascam Porta 07
The Porta 07 is a multitrack-recorder and was derived from the Porta
One and Two. It contains a 4-track-recorder with dbx-dolby and a
4-channel mixer with 2 mic inputs, 2-band EQ and effect sends for each
channel as well as stereo effect returns and stereo sub inputs.

percussion sounds and various sound effects. Each CD will contain
16-bit samples. The sounds are grouped by bank size for compatibility
with various memory configurations.
