Korg has just announced another cool studio keyboard station called the microARRANGER. This new keyboard does a lot more than play sounds. Producers and beat-makers can use the microARRANGER to create full musical masterpieces using the unit as the centerpiece workstation. It comes bundled with over 650 sounds, 89 effects, and an internal step or real-time recorder to get you started. The whole setup is compact and portable with 61 sensitive mini-keys and a built-in stereo speaker system.

The Korg Wavedrum is a pretty slick drum pad that can simulate the feel and sound of a real drum-head. The Wavedrum is perfect for producers who want a full sized drum pad to accurately get their sounds into the software capture program of choice. It can be used with fingers, hands, sticks, mallets, and brushes for the perfect sound characteristics that beat makers are looking for. The Wavedrum comes in either Black or Silver and there are hundreds of sounds and loops bundled with the hardware right out of the box. Check the Demo video and press release inside.

Korg is still on a hot streak for the last few months as they release even more software goodies to go along with their controller hardware. The Korg Microsampler is an easy to use production sampler with five sample modes and 37 natural touch mini-keys to function as a keyboard or production/creation tool. The Free Bonus Sample pack download for all microsampler users contains a host of sounds and patterns that's sure to get aspiring producers well on their way.

Korg is now shipping the new Wavedrum Mini which is basically a small version of the popular Wavedrum series drum pads that can simulate the feel and sound of almost any authentic percussion instrument. The Wavedrum Mini has a drum pad, a speaker, sounds, effects, patterns, and a loop recorder all built right into this tiny package. It comes bundled with 100 sounds and 100 rhythm patters, but the user will be able to add any other sounds that they wish for beat-making. More details and press release inside.

Production

Novation Ultranova software allows artists to use Nocturn Keyboards with Automap to act as a data hub for an entire production rig. That's what Dino Soldo uses as he plays numerous instruments live for big starts such as Lionel Richie and Beyonce...So if its good enough for these artists, then it's gotta be good enough for everyone. For those of you who thought Novation only made Dicer or DJ products, you are mistaken as Novation makes excellent software and great keyboards as well. Check inside for more details.
