Hallo.
Es gibt jetzt die ersten DJs und Liveacts, die Vorserienmodelle testen
dürfen. So geschehen auch auf dem DEMF (Detroid Electronic Music Festival).
Claude Young hat sich den Zero8 auf dem Event vorgeknöpft und
etwas an ihm rumgeschraubt.
Festgehalten wurde das Ganze von jemanden mit einer Kamera, so
dass sich nun dieses schöne Video bei YouTube wiedergefunden hat:
Klick mich.
Hierzu ein entsprechender Post von jemanden, der sich claudeyoung
im Ableton-Forum nennt (es scheint, dass er wirklich Claude Young ist):
A friend of mine is one of the main designers at Korg here in Japan and he actually developed / created the Zero 8 & Zero 4. They gave us one of the prototypes to take to the US for the DEMF. This is the best controller / audio interface ever made!
An all in one solution for your studio and live show needs. Were buying one as soon as production models are ready (very soon, were lucky enough to get first pick as soon as they are ready).
What makes this mixer great is the fact that everything on the surface can be used as a midi controller. the channels can be split - for example on channel 1-8 -Cool all controls can be used as midi control or you can use the absolutely amazing internal EQ and use the second set of knobs (sends) as midi control for your DAW.
For the internal EQs you have a choice of EQ curves / Filters A- K. these can be changes at any time and feature curves to reproduce all the popular mixers (allen and heath, pioneer, etc) + several special curves created by my friend the designer (like filters but you have to try them to understand what they do).
The FX are top notch - insert and master FX all controlled from a touch screen that doubles as the Kaoss pad control.
The faders are nice and smooth (not stiff yeaaa!!!!!) and the cross fader on the Zero 8 is nice. I was told that the Zero 4 is more of a club DJ mixer with many of the same features. I did not use the Zero 4 but we had the Zero 8 for about a month. We just got back from the US and I have to say I hate to have to send it back but as soon as they are ready were going to Korg HQ to get ours.
This machine and live work perfectly together! You connect the firewire to your computer and bang your ready to go!
If you can afford to get the Zero 8 - I would suggest you grab one as soon as it comes out. You will not be disappointed and it has so many functions that you will be able to use it for years to come.

Man erkennt nicht wirklich was neues, aber es sind neue bewegte Bilder,
die den Drang selbiges Gerät zu besitzen weiter festigen.
