No idea about the quality, though. I believe Swissonic is a generic brand from Thomann themselves...

Thanks! I'll look into it.

Looks promising! I'm in the US.

Sorry - confusing on a smart phone (must remember desktop mode!)

Looks promising! I'm in the US. I'm assuming this is in the UK or EU?

Besides the Numa Compact 2X, there's also the cheaper Numa Compact 2. SInce you don't care about the built-in sounds, that would be almost the same, mostly you'd be losing the 9 sliders you can define to send MIDI CCs. (The other differences mostly relate to the built in organ and synth sounds which you wouldn't be using anyway.) Like Kaneda said, you pretty much never get a board that has only exactly everything you want but nothing more, and the Numa isn't so badly priced as a controller even if you don't care about its sounds.

If you're okay with used stuff, you could also look for a used Studiologic VMK-88 or 88+ which are soundless controllers with the same Fatar action. (Actually, I have one I haven't used in forever, that I should probably just sell... any chance you're in the New York/Connecticut area?)

(aside to Biggles... Juno DS doesn't have aftertouch.)

Looking into it - thanks!

It's an international forum but I guess only the admins can tell you where the actual forum 'headquarters' is...

I meant - are the keyboards you posted in the UK or EU?

Anyone can add their actual or approximate location to be displayed below their icon, as per mine which shows I live in the County of Lancashire here in the UK.

"So where the hell was Boggles when you needed him last Saturday. And where are all the sportsmen who always pull you through?" ;-)

Thomann is in Germany...

You need to be more specific.

Bricks vary in density by a huge amount.

In my own case my head is more like Accrington Brick, which is hardest brick there is, so hard it needs a diamond tipped drill to only just scratch it.

So I can get totally rat assed and bounce my head along the wall on the way home and still wake up for a full greasy English breakfast.

Goodness, its 23:15 and I just the mention of food and I am now hungry.

I just spent the last two hours making Chicken Cacciatore served on spaghetti with a side of garlic bread.

Needless to say I ate so much I could plotz

The leftovers go in the freezer for enjoyment another time

Yep - Tull, Genesis (Gabrial era), Yes, King Crimson, ELP, etc. Way over my head musically, but love 'em.
