Openlabs neko acronis activation11/10/2022 ![]() ![]() ![]() The Neko and Miko have both the advantages and disadvantages of being Windows-based but that's not as bad as being tied to the hip to manufacturers for OS upgrades with any other keyboard now made. Their keyboards are ground-breaking and could usher in the era of true PC instruments (there have been others who have attempted this and failed). I think the responses to this thread show one of the problems Open Labs faces: getting people to understand their products. And talk about a desert-island keyboard, both the Neko and Miko are true complete production workstations. Not only would it offer a huge wealth of sounds but it has VJ controls and software included so it would allow an audio-visual live performance. The Miko has the potential to being the ideal second-tier keyboard to a good 88 note DP or controller, except for it's bulky size. in fact, this is the only keyboard in the world that can run Reason not to mention Logic, Sonar, etc. I see the Neko being the keyboard counterpart to taking a studio on tour, especially if you are a Reason user which the Receptor can't run at all. The number of sound sources is almost unlimited. Unlike the Receptor it doesn't require "receptorized" plugins and the human-interface parts are laid out fairly ergonomically. The Open Labs keyboards turns a potential spaghetti nightmare into an instrument. If you've ever seen a laptop/controller/softsynth setup used live (I have) then you know it's a freakin' mess with cables running everywhere. I was worried they would turn out to be a short-lived flash in the pan but now I think they're here to stay. It's good to see a truely unique American keyboard company making steady progress like Open Labs has. I think the Neko and Miko are great ideas and I've been following their development. ![]()
