Open Labs Overview of the NeKo Keyboard Workstation
May 11th, 2010
(This is an older model. Please stop by and check out the new GEN5 products on our website.) At Open Labs we believe in our products. We’ve designed the world’s most advanced, powerful and flexible instruments for the music industry. The concept of stable, built for purpose and road-worthy musical instruments powered by a computer was beyond the imagination of many of our competitors. Maybe since virtually everyone at Open Labs is a musician who lives, breathes and sleeps music, we didn’t know better.

1.can I sample in 12 or 16 bit to emulate the sample freqency in the older mpc and sp 1200.
2.I have a analog 2 inch smpte will it be hard to sync the time code?
ok let me start of by saying great machine. the pro tools and windows thing is A1.but hip hop from dre to kanye to dj premire wants loves and lives by these machines the mpc 60 the sp1200 mpc 3000 asr 10 and tr 808. I’m sure that if there was such a virtual machine that cloned these greats it would become a standerd.
me too! is this what Timbaland uses????
i believe if you have the neko you ca use the mimik software to record those sounds to the neko. or even better just download them from the internet to your neko.
i need one of these bad!!! 16 year old producer from memphis myspace dot com/charvezbeats
haha yaaah right.. that power supply could probably bring down a house…
Why can’t the screen be tilted for better access?
Firewire?…where’s the cupholder for Firewater?
for real..lol..thata the only thing its missing. Cupholder/coffee warmer. Some velocity sensitive pads like the MPC would have been nice.
I think he uses a MiKo.
that is unreal
gotta get me one of these ay!
can you use fl studio on it?
yes after you download it into the Neko, it uses any VTZ or audio plug in’s that are installed onto it
You could just sequence it with your MPC
ohh yeah and you can even clone other keyboards .
meaning if you have a friend that has a keyboard you like you can take all the sounds and combi patches everything
wats the price of that beauty?
Yea you can use Fl Studio on it.
Love it want one
around $5,000
nope like $3,000
This is actually an older model, the current models that we have that resemble this one are the NeKo EX5 = $3,399, and the NeKo XXL = $6,899. Check our website for more details.
God damn that thing is so sexy
are u able to still purchase the older modles form OpenLabs, like the TSE ? because i dotn see them on the site anymore, thanks
I plan on purchasing around March 2010. When will the Gen6 come out? I’m not sure how long the series stays in the marketplace. I love the Neko LX5 though, but if something better is coming I could wait on it!,I think!
LOVLy now.. what about the sounds, im looking at getting a keyboard like this. does the newone come with more built in sounds or somthing?
