On Day 3 at NAMM 2026, we have been exploring gear that defines the modern studio & stage. We are noticing that instruments are being reimagined to help creators stay in the flow.

Here are the standout innovations we have seen so far in the recording & instruments category:

Georg Neumann GmbH M 50 V Tube Microphone: A meticulous revival of the 1951 icon that defined orchestral recording, featuring the unique spherical capsule design that remains the gold standard for Decca Tree & immersive setups.

Roland Corporation U.S. TR-1000 Rhythm Creator: Roland’s first drum machine in over 40 years with true analog voices, combining that classic 808 & 909 warmth with modern sampling & a performance-driven interface.

Korg USA Liano Live!: A digital piano built specifically for the livestreaming era, featuring a built-in mixer & a single-cable USB-C connection to make recording high-quality performances effortless.

Fender Musical Instruments Corporation Studio Pro: This DAW is a complete creative solution right out of the box, delivering legendary Fender tones, pro presets, & an extensive library of virtual instruments & effects.

Nord Keyboards Electro 7: The most versatile model in the line to date, adding a dedicated virtual analog & FM synth engine to its world-class organ & piano foundations.

Celemony Software GmbH Tonalic: This hybrid plugin uses Melodyne’s note-manipulation tech to put world-class session players in your DAW, adapting over 7,000 authentic recordings to your track’s specific harmony & groove.

ASM Leviasynth: Available in both keyboard & desktop versions, this 16-voice powerhouse uses eight oscillators per voice & 144 morphable algorithms for incredibly detailed sound design.


The technical maturity on display this year is a massive win for creators. These tools prove that the best designs are the ones that prioritize human expression while pushing the boundaries of what the hardware can actually do.

We are at NAMM 2026 and excited to see all the cool innovations!

Here are the standout guitars we are excited to see today:

Ibanez Alpha Series: Ibanez has officially pulled back the curtain on its 2026 NAMM releases & the radical new Alpha series is undeniably the star of the show. While these ergonomic multi-scale models are grabbing the headlines, the legendary Japanese brand has also given its classic RG series a fresh look with a host of striking new colors.

Squier Sonic Series: Fender Musical Instruments Corporation Squier has expanded its lineup with super-affordable, beginner-friendly versions of classic Fender designs, including new 3/4-sized Stratocasters & Precision Basses.

Silvertone 1446: The iconic "tuxedo" semi-hollow is back after 60 years, meticulously reverse-engineered with era-specific mini-humbuckers & a comfortable modern-taper neck.

Litejam Guitar: A standout in the new Music Innovation Hub, this smart guitar uses an RGB-lit fretboard to display notes, chords, & scales in real time for a more intuitive learning experience.

Vox VTB-1 Treble Booster: This Silicon-based pedal uses hand-selected Silver Can BC108 transistors to authentically capture the "Germanium magic" & harmonic chime of the legendary 1960s British boosters.

It is an incredible start to the show here in Anaheim. These instruments prove that the future of the guitar is about the perfect blend of vintage soul & modern accessibility.

We will be sharing more every day, so stay tuned! If you are here at the convention or want to discuss more, reach out to Gregor Mittersinker to plan a chat!
