The street price for the bundled software and sound libraries is $2,967, which includes $487 worth of Open Labs Special Edition plugins, optimized by the software developers for use with the MiKo.

“I’ve made the new Timbaland Special Edition MiKo with Tim’s Touch,” said Timbaland, “It’s got everything I need in a single box and when I use it, we make masterpieces.”

“Timbaland is really on top of the world right now. His music is everywhere,” said President of Open Labs, Victor Wong. “To think that he is using our gear to produce these hits is cool, but the fact that he has put a little bit of himself into the MiKo, making it an even better instrument, is incredible. This is all very exciting for us.”

“We are honored that Timbaland asked us to help create his ultimate instrument,” said E-MU’s Senior Product Manager, Ichi Nagai. “We are excited to put together the exclusive Ensoniq Urban Legends Sound Library for Open Labs that contains many of Timbaland’s favorite sounds that he’s used in his work over the years.”


Special Edition Timbaland MiKo LX starts at $4299.00

It's L-O-V-E at last!

Hey guys...I seriously have no idea what to put in here...but my 'better half' asked me to write anything that comes to my mind..so I've been thinking for quite a while now and thought maybe I should write about the way I feel about him:) tell him how much he really means to me..coz no matter how many times I say it, it never seems to be enough..

Well, to start with, I've had my share of bad experiences on relationships and so has he. What I've come to know from those experiences is that it may have been bad, or horrible to even think about now, however, the lessons we have learned from them are invaluable. It's just that at the time you tend to think that nothing could be more worse, but then time passes by, and you gradually meet new people; of whom some you get more closer to, then you will look back and realize if the past hadn't happened exactly as it was, nothing would ever have been the same..so in the end, like I always tell my guy, everything happens in our lives for a reason, and most of the time that reason is for a good cause (we just don't realize it then).

My life was exactly the same as what I've said above..I've been to the deepest shallows of sadness and misery..there have been time when I've just let life take me because I didn't want to lead on..there have been times when I have questioned the reason for living like this...you know, after the ending of a bad relationship, you tend to think that nothing is more beautiful than being free, living your own life..(well, at least I've felt it)..but that feeling doesn't stay for long..after a nice long break you get lonely..I guess that's because our hearts are always looking for companionship..no matter how much we think that we can be independent, live our own lives, no..we do need someone in the end..that's what we're always looking for..someone to laugh with, to cry with, to fight with (for useless reasons, I'm sure:) just like I do) and most importantly..someone to share everything with..a soul mate..

We come across so many people in our lives that we very often mistake attraction with love. Attraction doesn't stay long..ususally arises with a person's outer-look..It's not very easy to find a person who will love you for who you are..a person who won't try to change u the way they want you to be..I guess after a long wait of trying to meet that person and mistakenly having got involved with another, I've at last found LOVE. It's incredible how the person you are meant to spend the rest of your life with is just around the corner, but you've spent so long searching for that person..when he/she was right infront of you the whole time...and I have found that true love after years of searching and guys, when you do, grab on to that person..never let go..don't do anything you'll regret later..

And that's what I've done..I'm still holding on to him so that he'll never leave me..I'm holding on so tight that sometimes it scares me..what if he does loose that grip and goes away..but then when I look at him and I see the way he loves me in ways I will never be able to do the same, I know in my heart that this is meant to be..I have found my Soul Mate..:) and I can honestly say that I am the luckiest girl in the whole wide world..because no matter how difficult I am to cope with sometime, he will never let me go..and that grip is still very tight...Love is a bond that makes you do amazing things in life..I'm sure most of you have been there, and have your own little story about the way you found your love..don't be ashamed to shout it out to the world..

What I'd really like to say in the end is that.."you can't hurry love..you just have to wait.." (it's a song by the way..:) but it has a nice, clear meaning to it..don't you think?)


-- baba, this is from me to you..thank you for the greatest love you have given me and remember that I'm here for you always and I love you very much!

What Is Love

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... isnt it so interesting topic. do you guys or girls have any idea what is love. when i was schooling i have no idea what was love. i thought love is basically a thing that make girls happy and respectful manner. isnt it so stupid :P. its like this when we schooling we think going out with a girl and showing off it to our friend is a big deal. those days it is a big deal. but we really dont have a direct path and aim of our future. so what we do is we go out with girls and hang out with our friends. i know it is bad but as guys we really don't think . every human being doing the correct thing after the mistake. so even us should do the same thing. dont think this is my life story this is basically a story even i had too. :D

gosh do i talk rubbish here. hmm anyway its my personal blog so i thought of writing these kinda lunatic stuff.. he he. so what is really meaning by love ? when we became adults when we became matured we really understand what is love. love is consist of so many things such as passion , caring , trust , belive in each other , honest , sex , understanding.. if we break one from these the relationship is going to change a lot. these kinda thing effects a lot when you have a long relationship. Yes. believe me i have so much experience on that. Coz my wife also live far away. so i know that feeling. :D. guys a small tip in love. make sure when the girl want to talk you listen. listening is another most important thing in love. Love is not easy. so make sure when you love it should be come from your heart. Dont love a girl or a boy coz they beautiful. love to their heart. dont look how she or he looks and dont think about whether he or she rich or poor. these are the faults that you do in your life. if you think of the girls body and start having a relationship it is the lamest thing you can do in your life...

Friends there are loads of stuff to talk about love. if you read this i prefer some comments as well. so i can have an idea how you think about love and remember im also a human so there will be so many mistakes in here. if you find any don't laugh. help to over come it :D.

Love a girl who loves you more than you do... :D :D like my girl :) :)
