yes creepz i think it will go well. i got mine a year or so ago and have been very pleased with it.
make sure you get all that software with it though. i got mine expecting all that, got the box home and never had it. had no luck with customer services either.
anyway it's a good box

I have the microKONTROL and it is falling to bits. About 3 of the knobs don't work and I am a careful user not heavy handed. The small keys although fine are just not as good full size keys.

You can get a 49 key fullsize M-Audio midi keyboard and either the M-Audio UC33 or the Behringer BCR2000 for less money. More controls, bigger keys, seperate devices can be sold on easier and if one part breaks your haven't lost everything. I have the BCR2000 and so far so good. It's easy to use and set-up.

right fellas i been lookin thru all my options and what u said about fullsize board i was interested in to start with
basically my needs are primerially a keyboard and software i can do my drumming and evrything from there and my pc

i thought i could see myself getting confused with too manny controlls on keyboard so keep things minimal like dubstep its self


i found this info on korgs uk site about there k 49 midi board

The best-selling synth is now free!
Quite a claim, to be sure. But it's true. The new K-Series controllers come with a free M1 Le software synthesizer.
The M1 Le contains all of the preset sounds and all of the PCM waveforms of the original, and a new browser/search function makes it easy to find that “perfect sound.” In addition to stand-alone versions for both Mac and Windows, the M1 Le can be used as an RTAS, VST or AudioUnits plug-in instrument.

Want more? A special upgrade offer allows M1 Le owners to purchase the entire Korg Legacy Collection – DIGITAL EDITION at a very special price. Even more? We've included powerful demo versions* of software from Applied Acoustic Systems (Lounge Lizard EP-3, Ultra Analog VA-1, and String Studio VS-1), Ableton Live5 , Korg Legacy Collection and Propellerhead Reason 3.0 to give you even more to enjoy right out of the box!



i have emailed there sales team as it looks like i can get full upgrade for £69 which is cool i play about with the legacy cell pack alot and like there stuff

not sure on what gd thoose demo softwares are ? any sugestions welcome

What's wrong with the knobs? Sometimes if you don't use a knob enough it gets screwy, something to do with oxidization. If you turn the knob back and forth for like five minutes it might do the trick. If you haven't already you might give it a try.

the korg microcontrol has everything you need and more, it has default setups for live reason and logic, that being said reason always seems to be the most technical to setup the board in, so that software might come in real handy.
