Members KJI Posted February 11, 2009 Members Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hi, I'm headed to Norway for 2 months on a research trip, and I figure I'll have some time on hand for music. I intend to bring my SonicCell with me (along with a MacBook), and would like a simple MIDI controller to go with it. I could buy myself a controller here in Korea and take it with me, but then again maybe the prices in Norway aren't too bad (at least compared to here, where prices are 1.5 ~ 2 times the prices in US ) So, anyone know how things are in Norway? I'll be staying in a youth hostel in Oslo for the first week of my trip, and I guess there's more chance of finding something there. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brian Ormond Posted February 11, 2009 Members Share Posted February 11, 2009 -Norwegian prices are high for nearly everything relative to the USA. I have no synth-specific information but check pricing before you go to avoid disappointment. One of the many pluses of a Norway stay, however- a person can get decent food at Oslo 7-11 stores for less than restaurant rates, a healthy contrast to the generally grim grub of American mini-marts.

Ah, 7/11's! I'll be sure to check them out. I have a feeling I'll be hanging around there a lot, actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch is right... maybe there's a second hand shop where I can pickup a cheap controller? Then again, I should focus on the work at hand, NOT on spending money on yet another piece of gear :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KJI Posted February 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2009 Why not try a holiday in Sweeden this year? Unfortunately, it's NOT a holiday but a work trip where I SHOULD be spending most of my time learning a new atmospheric dispersion model :poke: But hey, thanks for the invitation. Maybe I can spend a weekend over in Sweden. Are there some cheap MIDI second-hand controllers there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
