AlenK Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 So I shot over 2 hours worth of video at NAMM 2014. Narrowed it down to about 20 minutes in this video, which attempts to convery the NAMM "experience".Good overview. Looks like Extra Strength Tylenol and a good set of earplugs were mandatory equipment. Was there any musical instrument that you did NOT see at the show? Flute? Check. Piccolo? Check. Harp? Check. Gu Zheng/Guzheng (Chinese harp)? Check. Guy hitting a wooden box? Somewhere, I'm sure. (Speaking of which, did you see Roland's new V-Box, which all the critics panned because it isn't made of real wood like their classic boxes from 30 years ago?)

AlenK Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Erik James talks about the PX-5S: The "new" PX-5S. Sigh. Obviously, the word has now lost all meaning. And no one can argue here that it's new to the NA market or even to NAMM. And claiming that it's still "new" because it didn't start shipping until last March won't wash either. "New" must now mean whatever you happen to have regardless of when you introduced it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlenK Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 New Casio WK-7600: Lack of sleep must really mess with your head. That guy hallucinated an extra slider on the WK-7600! Did you hear how awesome that steel drum sound was on the WK-6600 at the start of the clip? Reggae artists are wetting their pants. (Do I really need a smiley here, folks?) Le petit fromage!

Brad Saucier Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 What happens to CASIO? Casio did mention Vestax was behind this product. http://www.casio-intl.com/asia-mea/en/emi/djcontroller/xw-j1/ (about midway down the page) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CASIO has created a clone. They are identical, but the XW-J1 supports Windows and better sound quality. You correct me if I'm mistaken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You correct me if I'm mistaken. They did not really create a clone. Have a look-see at the bottom of the J1.. it says "powered by Vestax",,, so it looks to be more of a partnership. Same thing with the headphones...This type of branded distribution deal is nothing new.. In fact, the reverse type of arrangement was done by Casio with Radioshack. Now that I think back, I think my first keyboard may actually have been the "Realistic" SK-1.. I can't remember if I bought it at Radio Shack or the record store.. too long ago.. I can barely remember yesterday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can barely remember yesterday. Casio did the same thing in Germany, with many of their products being re-branded as 'Hohner' and often in a white case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Based on a good suggestion from Brad, I started a new thread for the Casio / Hohner models at:http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/topic/5258-casio-hohner-models/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
