Martin is so in to these teaser videos. Here's their latest, for the M2GO/M2PC. Here's what I can figure out from the video & Martin website teaser info splash on their website:
M2GO: Compact, self-contained console, inexpensive and targeting mobile LDs who will have a console as carry-on luggage. Alternative to a wing system, probably aimed as direct competition to the upcoming Chamsys MQ60. Looks to be designed for those who would buy a wing, a touchscreen computer, and a few other accessories to make a "console". Combines it all for you at a hopefully awesome price. Given the incredibly low price on the M1 for what it is, I hope that this has a street price of $8K or less (M1 went for a bit over $10K street price up until recently, but prices have/are expected to go up a bit, probably due to the release of these new products.)
M2PC: PC Wing system, USB interface, probably directly aimed at competing with the new MA2 wing. Similar market, probably with a slightly cheaper pricetag for a total system (wing + computer + accessories).
Oh well, more information coming at the end of the month!
I do have to say after sitting down the M1 and the button wing for a few hours so far that I quite like the system as an alternative to just about anything but an MA. the MA will be my favorite desk for a long time, but the Martin M series will probably be the second. There's a learning curve, as with anything, but it's easy to follow. There are a few quirks as with anything, and I will certainly give Martin some feedback after I give the desk a thorough run through. With that said, I look forward to seeing what Martin's new control offerings are going to be. Certainly a far cry from the bugs and error-prone fader belts of the early original Maxxyz that I've heard about. (If anyone in the Philly area wants to check out the M1, send me a PM and I'll see if we can work something out!)
