Looks nice. It is called "Midi studio controler". I hope it is sutrdy enough for the stage applications. I like those large buttons. I would really find some use for them.

 

Does anybody knows what would be the price?

It's Korg-if M-Audio's and Evolutions can survive a gigs,this Korg would go on stage for years.How much Microkontrol costs?On my calculations(I calculated japanese yens to $ or EUR)this Kontrol 49 will be about 400$/EUR(in Europe) -100$/EUR more then MicrKontrol.Check out the preset map list of supported software-almost the all best VST's are supported.

Only thing I'm curious about is why they didn't release the Kontrol 61-almost every company when release 49key version-they also release a 61 key version

Thank Milos.

 

About that 61 controler: Original Microcontrol was very small for my needs, 49 key Micro could me enough. I think Korg follows some new trendes recently introduced into the market, dictated by the electronic musicinas. 61 key Micro would be great, but probably it would be to expensive for my pocket. I really like those touch sensitive pads and numerous sliders. It could double for control surface probably.

 

I was also looking forward to Novation controlers, but still no sign of 49 and 61 versions.
