Introducing SynthStation25 Bag
The SynthStation25 keyboard controller is the first ever keyboard controller for iPhone and iPod Touch and now we have the bag to protect it when you take it on the road. Not only does the bag hold your new controller, it can tote your iPod or iPhone, USB cable, RCA cables and more. See it up close here.
Gearwire's David Weiss called MINIAK a "Monster in a (Compact) Box" and went on to say, "This little synth is a steal." He isn't alone in his praise, as MINIAK has been incredibly popular with musicians and critics alike. See what else Gearwire's review says about MINIAK here.
APC20 Receives 4.5 out of 5 Stars
MacDirectory reviewed the APC20 and gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars. It seems the press just can't get enough of this game-changing, compact controller for Ableton Live. Read the full review here on page 56 of the interactive magazine.
APC20 continues to catch the interest of Ableton users around the globe. Audiofanzine took a look at the APC20 this month and praised its attractive price, quality and faders. See why here.
