here it is...
i ordered a korg microkontrol from dolphin & basically they f**ked my order so i wont get it for 3 more weeks, at least. They offered though to upgrade me to a korg kontrol 49 instead. They sent me a korg k25 which they said i can use in the mean time.
thing is, the k25 is crap and i have a lot of spare time now so i want a good controller asap.
they did say if there is any other product in stock i could get it. the kontrol 49 is £250 so can someone sudgest something of that price range which is a good, if not better, substitute?
Its obviously the wrong time of the year to be ordering keyboards!
Thomann still havent recieved mine yet, and its gone over the "usually 2-5 days" availability.
Looks like we'll have to knock back a few whiskeys sean, and wait patiently!

did they give you the K25 for free? or do you have to send it back or what?
they sent me the k25 by mistake, but i have to give it back. some other fella has my microkontrol and refuses to give it back
aparently, by law, he doesnt have to. its different tho in my case where ill be exchanging. its not bad keyboard tho but limited functions. only 2 assignable knobs, 2 buttons and 1 slider (which is very sticky). will do me for a while i suppose. think ill just wait for the kontrol49

yeah sean, id issues with dolphin too when i bought my microkontroll. it was in stock but as soon as i clicked confirm order they were magically out of stock and had to wait a month for re-stocking.
the controller is a minx though. im not using mine at the mo if you want to borrow it for a while?
