Open Labs Neko XXL

[lilmissmusic2012]

If Open Labs made a weighted 88 with all of the Neko XXL capabilities, I'd be in heaven!!

[SuperMe4lyfe]

This device looks cool. But I could still make beats on my Fl Studio and Cubase on a $300 budget so better luck next time Open Labs

[ClaudioSL619]

Quad Core 2.8 GHz! fuck this piece of shit is faster then my laptop O.O

[alphasxsignal]

When is going to be Mac based too.

[alphasxsignal]

I guess they are still selling these system. I sure don't read about them in the news

or at NAMM 2011 where all the other compaines go. Hmmmmmmmm

[MrAaron7974]

Woooooooooooooow. /drool

[xiaoxindiar]

Sorry, but the new Neko is like 7,000 dollars? That is just too much while the studioblade from music computing is around 3,000 dollars maxed out. Plus the studioblade has more power and more controls.

[Jakker27]

@xiaoxindiar

The studioblade is something I looked at BUT I think these things are all hype. It's very pretty but if you sit and look at it for what it is, I'd get a good pc with 8/16 gigs ram - a fast motherboard which won't break the bank and a good soundcard. You can beat these systems quite easy. I know what people say, but i'm shaking my head here

[510spirit]

i will have u soon baby...... 4 months too go damn! damn! damn!

Open Lan Neko? it'sjust a Computer, midi keyboard, audio interface, and softwares, and tthe price WTF? if you buy all this seperate it will be much cheaper.

[starameez]

you can do just about the same on a korg nano series...

[paranaque1700]

can you hook this on fl studio?

[marcooni03]

@paranaque1700 yes ,,,you can install it inside the neko

[enyeny7077]

a musician is as good as his instruments..

[xxsurfergurl420]

i'm saving up for this!! =]

[MsGrandHustler]

I think OPEN LABS AND MAC PRO IS THE BEST workstation... but if you don't have skills and tallent this hardwere is bullshit peace of shit....

[omnipotentRB]

fuck this shit, its like i have to sell drugs to afford this bad boy............

[DustyDogger]

Vid is too short!

[kekenalii]

i loaded gigastudio 4 on my neko xxl, works perfect with my mpc 4000. really sick. comes with 4 TB of hard drive space. I have 400 gb of gigastudio files on one hard drive.....the 4 hard drives is really useful.

[t3ki91]

chi me la regala per natale????

[SkooterBush]

Qualcuno te l'ha dato per Natale?! Damn siete fortunati!

[mysticradio]

i mean c'mon.. does this machine look like a wet dream or what.... but where will it end. are we always gonna be obsolete, slave to the next NEKO... AND THE NEXT AND THE NEXT? How much more than STELLAR can you get?

[ricemilk]

NEKO (Extreme) GEN 6 Ver1 will include Fader Automation Protools HD compatibility Windows 7 or Apple Mac Ver.?LOL, or maybe this isn't too far from the truth?

[SamyBeatz]

dear openlabs members,

is cubase included?

[defton24]

i guess this things where made for artists that are allredy made up and rich not for poor broke ass user of youtube

hee hee .......

its like cars...theres is honda for broke ass niggaz and bmw for rich fuckers so if u want diz shit get rich bitch!!!

[SkooterBush]

if u sell some dope, u can go from broke ass nigga to rich fucker in less than an hour.

[GucciManeSoiCey]

OPEN LABS SPONSER ME

[afimearts]

Me TOO!!! PLEASE

[Pieperson277]

WOW....

My dream...

Beside an m3 or a motif at least.

Or fantom... :/

someday...

[chiefie11]

Tbh if i had the money i wouldnt mind one, they do look good, and the all in one aspect reminds me of the fairlight CMI. (yes i know they were not an "all in one" box but the principle is more or less the same)

[chiefie11]

well regardless how good/bad/ugly/pretty it is. it's still uber expensive. £6,899.00 to be exact...

[csantos1964]

For the people who are comparing the Neko/Miko to laptops/desktops can only say that ignorance is a very powerful weapon!

[sclogse1]

I want drums that turn me on...like real jazz grooves

[pitolove71]

Love this board!! Check my 2009 Remix: pitolove71

[Microsloth]

Nice vid......way too short though.

[JovonJenks]

hey guys u are great, if u get a chance then check out my music and let me know if u would like to work with me or something... Preciate ur time.

[lavakava]

basically an overpriced computer...for this price, i can get a korg/roland/yamaha (all 3) plus and imac, alesis master control for 24 bit, 192 khz with 114db and motorized faders (alesis master control is better than the presonus card)...

this is a gimmic 'all-in-one'..i d rather have individual instruments, record them to the Mac and take just the mac book and one keyboard to a concert...

[gamzspot]

obviously you have never played one of these...... I have over 17 synths mimik'ed on mine !!!

[defton24]

people still can make a hit in a lap top.....

it;s not about money and quantity ..... its all about skills...

[enyeny7077]

@defton24 you really havnt worked on a neko trust me its mind blowing.

[CastilloBeats]

@defton24 yeah, your right but you need good sounds and presets :)

[2010beatboxer]

@defton24 thats why i do for now

[d3p3ch3mod3]

i think you're right.... i've never heard of any famous DJ or producer or anything using one of these. aphex twin, nin, oakenfold, tiesto, daft punk, wtfever you like i bet a hundred dollars they don't mess with these things lol

[NovemberRain1107]

Timbaland, Shiela E, Lil John, Prince, Jonathan Davis

[d3p3ch3mod3]

isn't that mostly pop? you could probably make a lil john song on a laptop if you wanted

[d3p3ch3mod3]

couldn't do a prince song but most of his work would just be recording the guitar and uploading it

[cannon5kid]

mysto and pizzi, polow da don, sinista just look at the open labs site and youll see the ppl that use it

[defton24]

ur right..... i guess the only ones who use this mikos nekos are

cow bell producers .......

[darkshiney]

not eveyone has the room to put all 4 keyboards in lavakava, plus an mpc. this will save tons of room in my tiny studio :)

[lavakava]

i know what you mean...but i just don't like to use solely the open labs since its windows based and all sounds will sound like vst.

i prefer using an imac over windows...and to save space, well get sound modules and just 1 keyboard (eg: roland fantom g along with korg m3m module, yamaha rack xs).

if the price was 2000, i would buy it. but no way i would pay 4500 for a PC with built in keys

[djlobb]

These Mikos and Nekos have been known to perform very well and are really reliable, they are built solid, its also a modded shell of Windows specially tuned to the hardware in the machine, so yeah, and what's wrong with VSTs? I'm pretty sure VSTs and RTAS are used far more than the newer APPLE alternative.

[makkin16]

MPCs are gay, i repeat, MPCs are gay!!!!!!!!!

[darkshiney]

er....thats the format that has been used for over 20 years....MPC is not gay its you son!

[Pieperson277]

Ur just a dumbass.

[defton24]

most hop hip was made mostly in mpc what the fuck stupid kid?

[djlobb]

iMacs are the gimmicks my friend, their a family computer essentially, the 2009 Macintosh box. Did you know an iMac has mostly laptop parts? it uses intels mobile Core 2's and their mainboards etc, the only things that arn't from a notebook is the RAM and 7200RPM HDD. The Neko has full desktop speed parts! It's truly a high speed machine.

[smackdee]

Thats not fair,the The niko/meko should be compared to a macpro which would just kill that thing!!!!!!! And that thing is like 6 grand....U can get a Macpro with a better interface, logic and all that software for about 4500!!!!!!

[djlobb]

The Mac Pro is a workstation with Xeons, not built from mainstream desktop parts, the hardware on the inside of the Neko's is high-end but affordable, the large price comes from the 1000s of professional VSTs and all the included software which works extremely well with the hardware interfaces.That's litterally what your paying for mostly. Don't be stupid, a decent MacPro would almost cost 3000!! How much is Logic Studio? 500?

[djlobb]

CONT... then buy some interfaces etc. then you still only have Logic, afew interfaces,, and your fancy MacPro without keyboard, monitor and mouse. Don't forget the Miko/Neko is a portable all-in-one too. Your just so Pro-Apple that you'll criticise any attempt for anyone to make anything that competes against Apple. I could personally put OSX on my Miko with OSX86 BUT!, Don't need to! I still havn't gone through all the samples and plugins.

[Pimporly]

simply the best.......

[maltcus]

looks good

[bluecafe69]

Is this a VST plugin or something?

[jmistry123]

not at all, this my friend, is a actual keyboard

[DjFreshmatic]

basically it's a pc with a build in midikeyboard and a shit load of vsti's and plugins and it can mimic any other keyboard n I bet you can do alot more with it but that's just the things I know about it lol

[MakeItFunkyProds]

Power, stability, dependablility and workflow are the reasons I bought mine.

Hey, to each his own. ;)

~Vince

[mdotmusic]

Agree to all is own, but the idea that you got for Power, stability and dependability is far fetched,, why ? is not the most powerful; it runs windows xp home(nuff said) and its dependable as any DELL desktop. I won one of these and sold it because at best it wasnt better than my pc and couldnt stop people from wanting to pay me 4000 for it.....when openlabs builds their own OS, exclusive SOUNDS(not just easily available VST's) then dropping 5k or more is a tough sell

[EssJayBeatz]

man, it runs windows XP, but thats not what makes this thng so good, its the specs of the system, your OP has little effect on how your PC runs, its the tech specs on the system, E.G Quad Core Q8800 2.4Ghz . . . . even on Windows XP, u still gunna have no trouble running anything on that. And bruh, this thing has been tested to 300 plugins, and the thing did not crash.

[djlobb]

What the hell? comparing a DELL Desktop to this?? WTF? This is of much higher quality than those walmart Dell machines, They havn't yet had troubles with their modification of Windows they've used for it, also they include thousands of sounds, and really nice handy pieces of software. They seem to be selling fine without any issues so. Also, I think you have the idea that all machines running XP are the same, crash the same and do the same thing. That's farr from the truth my friend!

[mdotmusic]

whatever dude.. if you feel its cool then get it, wasting money is everyone own individual right..

[KuriPango]

overpriced workstation imo

If they made them any cheaper the music hittin our airwaves would be even more generic than it is...

shit is bad enough with the current motif users...

[djbigz187]

im a fan of open labs just for the sheer fact of their customer service but im still having a hard time understanding why one would but a 7000 dollar machine over buying a standalone computer like an apple buying logic or some other daw with a audio interface a few vst's and still being under 7k i cant see the point no disrespect to open labs or anyone who owns one but i would like someone to answer this question for me

[BUCKLIFEENT]

i gotta have it!!

[BestKEpt578]

owning a neko is like my dream. i've been saving up since late last year. but, i'm not even close...

[dopemcee]

by the time you're ready to buy it.. they probably have a much more better system thats way higher price wise than what u saved for....

they just keep pushing the envelope higher and higher and prices higher and higher....''

ridiculous.

[SXMusicTV]

me too man, but then i thought.... I don't really NEED one..... I would rather get one when i know i can afford it.

[BestKEpt578]

what's better the Neko XXL or the Neko TSE?

[csantos1964]

Neko XXL anytime. it's a mean machine

[MDirtyInc]

Yeah, what about a little give away contest?! :p

[FloydCrystal]

Its my birthday today!!!!!!

can you send my this thing as a present?

I appreciate!!! hahahahaha

I like this keyboard!!!!!

I sell my whole studio for this one;)!!!!!!
