Will do. Despatched yesterday by Thomann. Trouble is, even if it gets to me tomorrow, I am away for most of the weekend.

Well, it turned up today, extremely well packaged.

It is very solid and quite heavy, looks pretty well built.

The downer - the power supply came with a 2 pin plug and I can't find an adapter, so testing it will have to wait until I can get hold of one. :(

Can't wait to try it out though :D

First impressions after 30 minutes is it is quite good. Playing Manyguitar with it is fun.

Have to stop now for Torchwood.

Have you had more time to play with your new toy yet, Goseba? If so, how is it? I might buy one sometime this year, so it would be great to hear about it from other users.

I should have posted earlier. After a week I returned it for a refund. There were 2 reasons: mainly because when I was using it as a midi controller, I had to keep restarting the software it was controlling because it kept losing the MIDI input (Project 5, Reason, Orion P, Reaper and a couple of standalone VST's.
Also I just couldn't get along using it as a melodic conrtoller (rather than sending cc's).

It is a real shame because I so wanted to enjoy having it. :(

I have now bought a padKontrol and have money left for something else.

The midi problem may have been unique to my set up I don't know, and it may have worked with a hardware synth but I didn't try that because I was hoping to using mainly with software.
