Korg offers lots of useful peripherial devices for mobile music production.
In an train, bus or airplane, where space is limited, it’s very difficult to work with these devices.
Would it not be more comfortable to have everything integrated into one portable device?
AKAI is a strong player in the market for mobile music production devices.
All their devices have to be connected to a PC or a Laptop.
Although they are very useful, it’s very difficult to work with these “on tour”.
Roland is also a strong player in the market for (mobile) music production devices.
However, they have no mini controllers, keyboards are bulkier, and the devices have to be connected to a PC or a Laptop.
Again although very useful, it’s very difficult to work with these “on tour”; impossible to work in a bus, train or airplane.
Roland quasi-portable
Electronic markets like Mediamarkt are very active in music device sales.
Why is Mediamarkt promoting music devices in newspapers and not in specialized magazines?
An increasing number of Consumer Electronics stores promote and sell music production devices for a broad CE Market
On Apples iPad, a plethora of software solutions are offered for music production.
But whilst being nice toys, they not really usable.Why not?
- No tactile feedback of the flat keyboard
- No velocity-sensitive interface- Impossible to play without looking
at the screen- Not enough computing power and
storage- Accessory connectivity limited- Limited screen space and therefore
no user-friendly workflow possible
JackMachine not only offers a touchscreen surface to interact with the music production software, but at the same time a usable hardware interface (tactile keyboard) and enough computing power.
Composers and Producers mostly find their inspiration away from the studios.
They would like to be able to work independently, away from any fixed location.
The Piano Keyboard and the Computer are the main tools for most modern day composers.
With JackMachine they can spontaneously play with new melodies, harmonies, arrangements; wherever, however, and whenever they are inspired.
This mobility and freedom will be new for them.
It will definitely affect their work in a positive way.
With JackMachine they can arrange their sets and experiment with sound effects whilst travelling.
Once they arrive, they just plug JackMachine to the music system and start their live performance.
With the revolutionary 2-way audio output,they can send their music to the ampswhile preparing the next song usingheadphones
DJs spend a lot of time travelling.
Their main tool is a laptop.
At the same time, they are excellent ambassadors for the JackMachine.
Your company already has strong relationships with musicians. Why not give a few JackMachines exclusively to some of these bands before the launch of the product?
The buzz on Facebook, Twitter and other sites, forums & blogs is guaranteed!
