Today I sat on a panel discussion at the national MENC conference in D.C. on the topic of whether or not we should develop national standards for music technology. I had my own feelings and ideas about the idea, and I let my voice be heard, but several of my colleagues also had very interesting points of view on the matter. Don't worry, from what I saw and heard there will not likely be any national music technology standards in the near future, but the discussion was interesting and I have to say enlightening in many ways.

I am not the greatest keyboard player in the world, but seeing the YouTube demo of the Roland VP-770 keyboard makes me wish I was. The guy doing the demo is Ed Diaz, a regular presenter at the Roland booth at the conventions I have attended. He's a lot of fun to watch no matter what equipment he is working on, but seeing him play with the vocalization features of this new device is really cool. Check it out on YouTube and find out more about the VP-770 on Roland's web site. |
