NAMM 2014 Rumours

Well it is only just over 2 months away, and after perhaps some of the things that happened this year, I think that there will be a lot of expectation from NAMM 2014. I know personally I have a few things I was hoping to see come out this year, and am really really hoping to see next year. I would be very interested to hear what you are waiting for/hoping for. 2013 was the year of Logic X, although I have to say I am yet to upgrade, I have used it a couple of times, but feel more drawn to Logic 9 at the moment, time will tell. I guess after 4 and a bit years it was a bit of an understatement. But, otherwise here are my NAMM 2014 wishes1) (This is the big one!) A new Nova System from TC Electronic. Well to be honest, I love the Nova System, I have been gigging mine for over two years now, but there are a few omissions and small things that would make it totally perfect. These are, a filter section (Autowah, envelope filter perhaps, I would have these over the pitch if I had to), and improved tuner (insert a polytune please!!!) and perhaps another way to access patch v presets. I would also love for it to be Toneprintable, how incredible would it be to be able to download Toneprints to the Nova System. Oh okay maybe one more, to make it the most perfect object of all time, perhaps adding in a few basic amp models (Fender, Marshall, Vox perhaps?), so that it could be used direct into a PA or as a basic modeller. That would make it perfection!!2)Love to see an update to the Ibanez RG Prestige range, perhaps a natural finish guitar??3)Spectrasonics?? Where are you....maybe some new libraries for Stylus RMX? Omnisphere is pretty perfect, but maybe open it up to import samples? and how about the next generation of awesome software that we know you are capable of!!4)Logic 10.1?5) Suhr enhancing the Riot pedal (with an boost function like the Koko Boost)Otherwise, so of the things which it might be interesting to see will be what Gibson do with Sonar!So what is on your list?PeaceNeil
