NAMM 2026

If anyone is at NAMM today and happens to come across Yamaha, I'm ABSOLUTELY DYING to know what they're gonna release related to e-drums. They're gonna reveal everything tomorrow but if anyone sees anything out in the open today... Please lemme know šŸ˜†
 
Since it's not the next gen and the AM4 and VP4 are recent, it's hard to imagine what to be excited for. I wonder how many folks are in the same situation as I am where there's really not much I actually need or want given the modelers already at my feet?
Fractal Power amp, Fractal FRFR, Fractal plugin, Fractal EV3, Fractal AM1, Fractal Toaster, Fractal TV.. I would get excited with anything fractal really

I live in the area (about 5 miles form the convention center but I'm not going to the show (been going since the mid 1980's and I have no actual business this year). Wouldn't mind catching a meetup if there are any in the area, though. For once I don't have a gig on this weekend.
 
Just for kicks I'm going to roll the dice with a plug-in or software as the surprise. Seems like the lowest bar to cross in that it doesn't require manufacturing. Fractal virtual waffles.
 
Surprise...?

It was really FAS that kidnapped Justin York and they are ready to release him now that he made a shit ton of surprisingly real IRs...? šŸŽ‚
 
Now I know... They will be launching FAScoin and IR-NFTs.
Or maybe they'll announce a licensing deal with IK to put AFX3, FM9 and FM3 into the next AmpliTube? Inception-style...
Also a possibility: The "new" FAS hats will finally be available at G66!

Anyone remember the 100+ page speculation thread before the VP4 launch? I'm ready.
 
I don't know what's coming in the future (for FAS or any other) but since I've got my FM3 I stopped thinking about it - kinda of the same way I used my G-System for 15 years. It sounded good when I bought it and sounded good today. My feeling with the FM3 is the same.

IR-NFT's would be kind of neat from a technical perspective. Storing the IR data on chain and only being able to load IR's that you have in your wallet could potentially solve any copy/paste piracy issues.

It's too bad the crypto space is scammy and lame in general.
