Cybertstep showed a mobile music making device at NAMM, the KDJ-One.
Featuring a sequencer, synth and audio support, this is a Game Boy-style gadget that can be controlled using a combination of multi-touch screen, directional pad, jog dial and buttons. There’s Acidized WAV support, while the synth can be used in your main PC/Mac DAW as a VSTi. What’s more, KDJ-One projects can be exported so that they can be worked on elsewhere.
