> This was my first trip to NAMM. I went with Tim Thompson ( creator of

> was able to get us in.

> After the flight into LAx and a drive to Anahiem, we parked and 
> walked by the huge palm trees that line hourbor street where the NAMM 
> show was being held. After a  quick call to my cousin, he comes out, 
> gives us our badges, and we walk in.
> 
> Having never been to a NAMM show, my first step into the convention 
> was a bit overwhelming.This seemed like a gear heads dream! So much 
> to take in.

> First we went to the EMU booth where my cousin was stationed. I was 
> given a complete demo of thier new Emulator X Sampler package which 
> sounds very intriguing. All the samples from all thier previous 
> products ( including all the proteous and command statuion ROMS) were 
> transported to this new sampler. 50 Z-Plane filters, 60 real time 
> effects , along with an audio card solution whose specs seems very 
> good. They also gave us a nice large shopping bag ( to put NAMM 
> liturature in) Its so big, I can use it as a gig bag  for my MP7 
> after the show!  :-)
