The most exciting music production gear event of the year has kicked off in Anaheim.

And even though we haven’t been able to travel there to witness all the announcements and new pieces of gear, we reached out to our friends from lists for all, who recently put together a list of the best free music websites, to find out what the most exciting news from the event are.

Here are 6 pieces of gear that got us really excited:

Moog’s New Synth: Subsequent 25

Moog’s new product is a 2-note paraphonic analog synthesizer. As always, this thing looks smooth as butter and has integrates seamlessly with any DAW.

It’s quite compact, has only 25 keys, and is meant to be an upgrade of the Sub Phatty.

We can’t wait to get our hands in one to write a review.

Gibson / Slash collaboration

Another talking point has been slash’s new signature guitar with Gibson.

He took the stage to premiere the collection, which will include an acoustic guitar and two electrical guitar models.

Retailing prices start at 2 999$.

AKAI Launched MPC ONE

Our hip hop heads will love this one: The new AKAI sampler is more compact, comes with 2GB of ram, as well as 2GB of content.

Keeping with tradition, the MPC one can be used as a standalone piece of gear, that can be integrated with various DAWS and splice.

It has yet to hit stores, but once it does, it will retail at 699$.

It also looks pretty cool, in our opinion.

Audiomodern path I and II are 50% off until the end of the month.

These are some high quality kontakt collections that are best suited for electronic music production.

Novation’s New Launchpad Pro MK3: Made for Ableton Live Users

This is a pretty cool little gadget. If you enjoy live sampling performances, novation’s launchpad pro will be right up your alley.

With 64 velocity and pressure sensitive pads, this sampler will retail at around 399$.
