Korg had the new MicroKorgXL in spades, as well as many colors:

And the nano controllers in black:

They also had their DSD 1bit recorders arranged in a new multitrack fashion, for a total of 8-track recording in this format. Neat for archiving those old master tapes that are falling apart.

More Waldorf

Largo, the new software synth, looks to share some, but not all, lineage with the Blofeld. It’s missing the XT wavetable implementation, for instance. $250 in the US.

Look, it’s a Blofeld Keyboard! The pricelist I saw today said the upgrade to the module version I mentioned earlier would be about $150 in the US.
