Denon MC3000

A new trend is sweeping the controller market. After launching a four-channel flagship, Denon presents a handier version. Smaller, lighter and with two haptic channels that can be virtually doubled via controller software. The integrated sound card features two analogue inputs which makes possible to connect even classic DJ and producer hardware. The controller has all the features one would expect from a professional gear and everything is in place. The starting price is 579 Euro, the included controller software is Traktor LE 2 for the European market, this may vary regionally.

Roland R-Mix Tab

Recently Roland made a dream of many producers come true, in form of a software that was originally available for PC and Mac, now also for the iPad. R-Mix isolates single sounds, harmonies, vocals or synths from complete tracks. This is surely a great benefit for all karaoke junkies, but especially for the world of sampling. A technology that used to be hardly imaginable a short while ago now works really fine even on the tablet and is available in the App Store for an appealing price of 7,99 Euro.

QuNeo Multitouch Controller

This promising Open Source MIDI controller comes from Keith McMillen Instruments in Berkeley, CA. The project is based on donations via the the website, as soon as there is sufficient money the controller will go to production. And apparently this will happen very soon! The layout is reminiscent of the MPC and seems to be interesting for both music producers and VJs. Technological highlights of the QuNeo are the multi-colour LEDs, producing a visual feedback, and the sensitive touch pads which are subdivided in several fields. Also, there are multitouch strips, faders and rotaries. The controller has the same dimensions as the iPad and is extremely light and thin. The starting price should be around 200 $, plus shipping.
