Zoom

Streetboxx SB246  info http://www.samsontech.com/index.cfm

 

Zoom was showing its new Streetboxx SB246, a drum machine that the hip hop crowd will like.  Patterns are divided into Hip Hop Culture, Old School, Dirty South, East Coast, West Coast, Ethnic and more.  Of course I went straight to the ethnic as that is my thang.  Liked what I heard. 

The Streetboxx reminds me of the old style drum machines of the 80's.  You hit record and tap out a beat. 

Over 500 beats available with no load time
Over 100 patterns pre-recorded
Over 70 kits available
Each kit features three complete beat performance layouts, with classic and modern drum sounds
Over 25 Basses And Synths with super low sub sounds
Unit can be owered by 4 AA batteries or optional AD0006D adapter

 

Zoom had a big display, and I am certain I did not cover every thing they had to show.  That's because I was busy toying with the Zoom MRS 1608 that was on display, a well crafted machine that i keep thinking that I want.

US122L and US-144

With these small interfaces, replacing the US122, Tascam is embracing the USB 2.0 standard. Hooray! That means the days of old clunky USB 1.1 interfaces may finally begin to wane and I can change my soundcard page.  The 144 has s/pdif i/o and the 122L does not.  The 144 also gives you a separate headphone volume control.  Both units have 2 XLR mic preamps with phantom power and 2 line inputs, MIDI, and can record at 24/96.  Both are bus powered and designed for PC or Mac, including laptops.  Lots of promise here.
