NAMM 2013: OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - Avid to be Bundled With Akai and M-Audio

inMusic, the umbrella of Numark, Akai, Alto, Alesis, and most recently M-Audio has broken the boundary that often seemed to separate Akai from Avid Pro Tools. They have recently announced that an abridged version of the popular software, to be called Avid Pro Tools Express, will come bundled with certain Akai Professional and M-Audio Products. It's the first time that the software has ever been included with hardware from an outside manufacturer.

M-Audio was acquired by inMusic in July of 2012, allowing the 5 sister brands to create collaborations that have made them all an integral part of the DJ and music production industries.

Starting this year, a handful of M-Audio keyboards and Akai Professional products will come with the Pro Tools Express, which is a lesser powerful version of Avid Pro Tools 10. We're almost positive we'll know at least a handful of the products when we walk into the NAMM 2013 show.
