Gear - Open Labs NeKo & MiKo

Producers, you may now begin to drool.

This is my dream machine, haven't copped one yet but its next in line on my wish list.

If you haven't heard of this yet, basically its the very first ALL IN ONE beat machine that truly IS all in ONE.

You can run any PC based software with this monster, that means it IS a computer... It doesn't emulate computer power like the MPC4000 with some bullshit operating system. You actually run windows with this bad boy. Not to mention it comes with HUGE sound libraries including tuns of basic hip-hop synths in entirety valued at over $50,000 if the keyboards were purchased individually. Here is a list of the sounds you would start out with(click here it for a sample):
