I like the black WAY better, definitely something I'd consider for writing while travelling. But yeah, you gotta be realistic about the quality at that price.

C'mon! You can buy ALL THREE for a little over £100.

(Although - I think they are pushing their luck a bit with the NanoKey. That looks fucking awful. But - as a clip launch/navigation/transport controller it might be worth the £35 (!) they're asking for it...)

I'd happily buy 2 NanoPads for £85, though. 24 pads and 2 x/ys for £85? Shiyit...

OK, I was a little harsh with my last post but C'mon?! You can't reallt expect 1980's Korg quality with 2008 price points.

I'm all over that silly little DS-10 video game version of the MS-20 though. From what I have heard, it's pretty much the same conversion that Korg put into the Legacy Collection for the MS-20 project.

Y'know, if it really sounds like shit I'm not going to complain either. It cost $39.99!!

I'm going to buy a DS just for that Korg cart! It sounds really, really good... shame there's no MIDI sync on the DS!

And as for the new controllers; 24 pads and two X/Ys for £85? Yes. Please. As long as they work independantly of each other, and the pad response isn't too shoite, you'll be larfing.

Where's that thread about doing a custom build on a nice wooden frame...?

Well for $39,99, (plus the cost of the DS) there is no reason not to buy it. For a video game, it sounds great. It's not going top sound as good as a Nord Lead or a Virus but ffor the money I'll take a Korg DS-10 over a sidstation... (which in my opinion is a crime if people buy these things for over $1,000...)

Fuck. The black looks waaaaaay better. Oh well. Nanokey is already in the post to me.

Hmmm didn't the white nanopad have the light up pads like the PK?

I have yet to see one of these nano series so I am reserving judgement but seems like they could be handy where space is limited.

I have the DS-10, been using it on the train of the way to work, makes time just fly by... the sounds are pretty good for such a small machine. My only complaint is they haven't made much use of the nintendo's buttons.

Various online stores have been accepting pre-orders for about 5 months now, but don't know if any have actually shipped. First it was end of october, then beginning of november, now mid november.

the weight (stand) is ultralight, the keys are feeling like a laptop keyboard and
stuck sometimes, also the overall feel is ultracheap. He's expected some more
quality and sent it back to Thomann. I only can see usage for playing some simple
basslines sometimes or to trigger some simple midi events.

apparently that's not stopping some people from rocking out with it:
