It wouldn't normally be a long time...... but I think the old space continuum is against us. I swear the days are getting longer the closer the fourth gets- If it continues at this rate, I am worried that the fourth may never come at all..... and we will all be almost suspended in time!......... it's dark here, isn't it?.............................. could someone put the kettle on?

Heard from a worker in the synth department at my local music store that when he asked the Korg rep about the Volcas he was told they won't be released in high enough numbers to satisfy the demand so some stores may not get them for a few months after the official release. I've been patiently waiting but there are some pretty tempting alternatives out there.

The MiniBrute and the Waldorf Rocket are looking pretty tempting, but I figure I've waited this long I can wait a little while longer.

Thanks for the heads up Spectromat! I'll have my face flat against my local music shop window at 8:55am tomorrow- ready to whinge at them- 'Where's mine?' :(

ps I didn't care much for my Minibrute so had it punted- I would definitely prefer the Volcas- (Keys and Bass together).

Andertons has/had them, so does/did Gear4Music when I checked. I would have thought that Thomman would have been included for the first consignment :?:
