Interesting Stuff at NAMM 2013

So, I thought I'll start this. I keep monitoring stuff from NAMM, and Jeesus
I saw a stuff, I want. Numart Orbit.

This is awsome for Dubstep and DnB Dj-s and for $99 it is an awsome kit.

I'm not sure about the whole wireless idea... plus even being a controllerist this is useless for me.
The only use i can think of is crowd surfing and triggering effects at the same time and it's really not my type.

If you have a nice system, Wireless doesn't add that much latency. And using Quantize, it's not that relevant...
PLUS: You can learn how to overcome latency, by practice.

Looks like a kids toy IMO.

[BennyB]

Yep... but won't be in pro hands.

Handy for when you're waiting at the bar!

Now THAT WAS an INSPIRATION ladies and gentlemen (and everyone between)

Bloody good idea though

[KevMaverick]

It WAS meant as a joke!

It is an interesting gadget, but I couldn't ever imagine using one myself.

That Numark Orbit looks interesting, not sure about the accelerometer controls though. As DJ technology advances, shouldn't tasks become easier? Having to hold something with both hands as opposed to pushing a button/twiddling a knob/sliding a fader seems a bit abitrary. Still interesting though.

I saw video on the Reloop TAPE recorder - a piece of hardware that can be used to record mixes straight onto a USB flash drive, or converting analogue vinyls to a digital format.
