By the Lakeview Team
Let’s be honest: NAMM is loud. It’s a beautiful, chaotic symphony of shredding guitars, thumping bass synths, and enough espresso-fueled networking to power a small city. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Last year, Lakeview showed up as the “Catfish” in the pond—the new kids from the broadcast world looking to stir up the music tech scene with some high-performance hardware. We came, we saw, and we clicked. (Literally. Thousands of times.)
After a year of collaborating with some of the most brilliant synth designers and pedal builders in the industry, we’re headed back to Anaheim for NAMM 2026. This time, we’re not just stirring the water; we’re bringing the lightning.
Why Does a Switch Matter? (Ask Your Fingers)
You’ve spent months perfecting your circuit. You’ve found the “holy grail” of tone. But if a musician hits your button and it feels like mush—or worse, it doesn’t trigger at all—the magic is gone.
At Lakeview, we’re obsessed with the “Tactile Soul” of music gear. We believe that the bridge between a creator’s finger and their sound should be crisp, reliable, and—let’s face it—really cool to look at.
The 2026 Lineup: What’s New at the Booth?
We’ve been busy in the lab. Here’s a sneak peek at what we’re bringing to the show floor this year:
- The TL16 Series (The “Disco Ball” of Buttons): Our upgraded R6-style buttons now feature fully addressable WS2812 LEDs. Want your control surface to pulse in time with the BPM? Or change colors based on velocity? These buttons don’t just sit there; they perform.
- The LCD Smart Switch: Say goodbye to masking tape labels on your console. Our latest display switches allow for high-res icons and text right on the button. It’s space-age tech for the modern workflow.
- Encoders Smooth as Butter: Our RGB LED rotary encoders are back and better than ever. Perfect for parameter tweaking where precision is everything and “feeling” the increment is a must.
Let’s Talk Shop and Gear
We aren’t just a factory; we’re your R&D partners. Whether you’re a boutique pedal maker working out of a garage or a massive synth brand looking for 100,000 units of a custom-color cap, we speak your language.
We know that in the music world, “good enough” isn’t an option. It has to be tour-grade, stage-ready, and aesthetically “vibey.”
Come Find Us!
If you’re going to be in Anaheim, come say hi. We’ll have all our latest tech out for you to click, twist, and light up. We promise the tactile feedback will be the most satisfying thing you experience all week (besides that one legendary synth jam you’ll inevitably stumble into).
