The summer version of the NAMM (National Association of Music Makers) tradeshow is this weekend in Indianapolis. Peter Kirn at create digital music is going to be covering new product announcements and writing five-word capsule reviews of them, which should be entertaining. Maybe I’ll write a five-word review of his coverage when he’s finished.

One announcement I’m aware of so far: Native Instruments introduced Akoustik Piano, which looks like a great sample-based piano module in software, coming this September.
