I wanted to buy the Korg NanoKontrol 2 for my Hammond plugin, and I ordered it 2 months ago, but I had to cancel today because it is no more available in Italy
The vendor says that “Korg is one of the many companies whose production chain does not receive components”
Quite a mess IMHO, and I’ll have to buy something else, likely more expensive
Italian stores don’t have it, or they say they have, but when you go to the Cart you find they will deliver it 1-2 months after, maybe
From the UE or US, I bought something in the past, but shipping fees were often high, the possible return a nightmare and expensive, not mentioning the warranty that is often not valid
At the end I bought the AKAY Midimix from an Italian store (discopiù)
I almost never tried to bing hardware buttons to any DAW or plugin, but I hope it works above all with the Hammond because pushing bars without the mouse is faster and easier
@ClaudioPorcellana If your main intent with the controller is making organ bars interaction more haptic, you could use any controller with faders. One that works well for me and doesn’t cost a whole lot more than the Korg nano series is the Novation LaunchControl XL. The faders are really smooth, and you get 24 poti knobs with it too! I love it…
Interesting you go the Akai Minimix. When I was in the market for this type of controller, I watched some comparisons, and the Akai came across as too flimsy, moving around the table while moving multiple faders at once, and the faders reach were not as wide, and felt flimsy to the reviewers. I think the price point might be lower for the Akai vs the Launchcontrol XL. And I guess in your case it was a supply chain constrained decision. I hope it works for you. Let’s hear some rock coming out of your efforts!
Let us know how you go @ClaudioPorcellana, I agree with Bernd that the Launch range are very good. I have done music for them in the past and they have given me some gear which I have always been super impressed with, actually we also know the owners of Akai and they are a great mob too so can’t go wrong.
The shortage of components is very tough for all of us at the moment, there are many bits our studios are waiting for. Fortunately our new Neve desk arrived and it’s incredible - I look forward to showing it off in the next Scaler video I will make very soon.
I might have an extra one for you… I have four of them and do no use them all now… i can sell it yo you and buy it in the future… Send me whatsapp at +34.619561011
thanks, but unfortunately I bought another controller, the AKAI MIdimix, thinking it was workable, but it wasn’t, at least for the VB3
I want just have fun with music, and any tech difficulty gives me the willies
