Alesis
M1 Active 520 USB Monitors (Pair)

speakers and interface in one

OVERVIEW
Alesis' M1 Active 520 USB's are professional studio monitors with a built-in digital audio interface. The speakers themselves are active (no need for amplifier), bi-amplified, two way reference monitors with full sonic range and with the integrated USB interface, you can connect to your MAC or PC and record/play straight from your computer with professional sound quality all at an attractive price.

FEATURES
The M1 Active 520 USB's are 2-way, active, bi-amplified pair of reference studio-monitor loudspeakers with 30 watts per speaker, 5-inch lightweight polypropylene woofer for smooth responsive low end, 1-inch silk-dome tweeter for super clear highs, and a low resonance cabinet with tuned bass port. The integrated USB interface allows for 16-bit, 44.1/48 kHz recording and playback from your computer with no special drivers or installation - simply plug and play! In addition the speakers feature 2x 1/4" inputs, stereo 1/4" headphone out, bi-color signal/clip indicator, and are magnetically shielded for placement near TV and computer monitors. Switchable power supply ensures worldwide operation.

OUR OPINION
These are a great deal for anyone looking for decent speakers AND an audio interface in one. If you are just starting to set up your production studio or just want to stream line, you really can't beat the features for the price of the M1 Active 520 USBs. The smaller version (M1 Active 320) have been consistent sellers, and now with the 520's you have a louder, more powerful speaker/interface combo. Recommended.

Chill Pill
Chill Pill Mobile Speakers - Blue

smartly designed portable speakers

Now in blue!

Wired's "Best Mobile Gizmo" of 2008. Chill Pill speakers are highly portable, pocket-sized speakers that can be transported in "pill" form (ingeniously held together by magnets). When you want to play music, simply pull apart the pill and untwist the tops to release the mini-subwoofers. In addition, all the needed cords (stereo plug, USB input) are built into the speakers with their own coil system.

For its size, the Chill Pill offers loud and clear sound. I plugged in my iPhone and the sound filled a medium sized room. The manufacturer boasts that the quality of the sound is better than standard desktop computer speakers. The Chill Pill also expands to reveal mini-subwoofers for enhanced bass.

The Chill Pill is powered by a rechargeable battery. You can recharge them either by plugging them into your computer's USB port or the power adaptor (sold separately).

- enclosed in rugged matte black case
- works with all portable devices that have stereo out including iPods, iPhones, etc.

versatile sampling keyboard and sequencer

OVERVIEW
Korg's microSampler delivers multi-mode sampling, resampling, Pattern Sequencing and over-the-top effects all under a fun-to-use intuitive interface. More than your typical sampler, the microSampler is a complete sound design studio for creating loops, phrases, and much more.

FEATURES
The microSAMPLER hosts a solid complement of top-end sampling features to expand your creative potential. This full-fledged instrument offers fourteen-voice polyphony, reverse playback, editing operations such as Normalize and Truncate, and a Time Stretch feature that lets you change the tempo without affecting the pitch. Selectable sample rates of 48 kHz, 24 kHz, 12 kHz, and down to 6 kHz let you sample at rates beyond CD clarity or add in that Lo-Fi vintage vibe. Each bank contains 36 samples (a maximum of approximately 160 seconds of recording time for monaural samples at a 48 kHz sampling rate) and sixteen patterns of sequence data; the microSAMPLER lets you store eight such banks in internal memory. The Keyboard mode takes a single sample and assigns it chromatically across the keys for instant playability. With its recessed controls, bright LEDs and informative display, the microSAMPLER is fun to use and easy to operate for beginners or seasoned pros.

SAMPLING
Five distinct sampling methods allow you to work the way you want, to get the results you need. The microSAMPLER offers traditional One-Shot and Loop sampling, plus a number of creative sampling modes: Loop, Key Gate and Auto-Next. When it comes to sampling, the microSAMPLER is a versatile and unique tool.

- Loop sampling for recording grooves and phrases, drum loops, etc.
- One-Shot sampling for grabbing and triggering single events such as drums, etc
- Gate sampling for playing a sound musically across the keyboard
- Auto-Next sampling for capturing phrases as multiple samples
- Key Gate sampling is best for grabbing multiple samples from the same source

There's a resampling function that lets you play existing layered samples processed by an effect and played by the pattern sequencer and capture it all as a new sample. You can even sample while playing, allowing the sampling process itself to become part of your expressive performance.

PATTERN SEQUENCER
The pattern sequencer uses an overdub operating style that lets you continually layer your performances. You can switch between patterns during playback for seamless performances. Up to sixteen patterns (16,000 notes per pattern, or a maximum 64,000 notes) can be stored in each bank.

KAOSS EFFECTS
Developed for Korg's KAOSS PAD series, the effect engine serves up a great selection of effects so important when editing samples. The twenty-one effects include not only traditional delay and chorus, but also ring modulator and grain shifter, and even a Looper that's derived from the Loop Recording feature of the KAOSSILATOR Dynamic Phrase Synthesizer. The effects can be applied to any sound while resampling, allowing the effects to be used over and over again for more sonic expression.

In addition, the microSampler features USB connectivity with editing via free editor/librarian software as well as importing of WAV/AIFF data. The keyboard runs on a wall adaptor but is also portable and can be powered by 6 AAA batteries.

Akai
LPD8 Laptop Pad Controller

ultra portable USB MIDI controller

OVERVIEW
The LPD8 is an ultra-portable USB-MIDI controller featuring 8 light-up pads and 8 knobs you can assign to virtually any software parameter. With a slim profile weighing less than a pound and measuring less than 13" across, the LPD8 easily fits in your laptop case, backpack, or DJ bag for producing/performing on the go.

FEATURES
The LPD8 has eight orange light-up pads that are velocity sensitive for programming rhythmic or melodic parts. The pads can also send program-change information to software. Additionally, the LPD8 has eight assignable Q-Link knobs you can assign to virtually any parameters in their software for hands-on control and has four memory banks for programming and recalling settings appropriate to different software programs. Also includes a software editor for easy saving and changing of settings through your computer. Works plug and play with Mac or PC (no software driver installation or external power cord necessary).

OUR OPINION
As Akai's answer the Korg's Nano series, the LPD8 holds up very well and actually has a few advantages. While both feature ulra-slim profiles and portability, the LPD8 combines pads AND knobs in one unit (although the knobs are rather short) whereas you would have to buy 2 Nanos (the PAD and KONTROL) to get these features with Korg. It is also slightly shorter than the nanoPAD and features a nice matte finish with rounded corners. Recommended.

Vestax
VCM-600 USB DJ MIDI Controller for Ableton Live

advanced controller with high quality mixer build

OVERVIEW
The VCM-600 is an advanced USB MIDI Controller designed specifically for Ableton Live with genuine Vestax mixer technology to emulate a real multitrack mixing/remixing experience . Includes Ableton Live Lite 7 Vestax Edition so you can start remixing and mixing right out of the box.

FEATURES
The VCM-600 features control of 160 parameters of Ableton Live software and other MIDI compliant DAW software via USB with high quality input faders and pitch faders from the VCI-100 and PMC-580 for advanced operability and performance. Compared to other controllers, the VCM-600 feels extra solid but still light weight with its highly durable aluminum body and genuine Vestax parts. The input faders and crossfader also featuring curve control for the active turntablists and 2 LED panels are placed on each side of the controller to illuminate the top panel for clear view of the controls in dark settings. Includes a special version of Ableton Live Lite designed for seamless operation with the VCM-600. The Vestax Edition of Ableton features 32bit -192kHz audio resolution, 8 tracks of MIDI and audio, 6 scenes, MP3, OGG, FLAC, WAV, AIFF and AAC compatibility, auto warp function, warp multitrack, 24 audio effects, 7 midi effects, 2 software instruments, and more, all in an intuitive interface.

OUR OPINION
If you want a controller that FEELS like a real mixer, you can't beat the VCM-600. While most other controllers may feel too light, plastic-y, or empty, the VCM-600 is solid and performs like a champ with its authentic Vestax parts. While it lacks a large launch button matrix, the traditional mixer layout that matches the Ableton screen will appeal to DJs/Producers looking for a controller that performs great for multitrack mixing. Combined with the included Ableton Live Lite software, the VCM-600 is an excellent all-in-one choice.
