I'm getting started making some tracks and am looking for a controller. The MicroKontrol looks sweet and seems to have decent reviews - was wondering if anyone on here had experience w/it? Is there a loop or hold function for those 16 pads similiar to what is possible on a MPC?
At the moment, I am only using Garageband, but will be getting Reason 2.5 and an MBox w/ProTools LE shortly. I don't really want to get some rinky-dink controller like the Oxygen which seems like I'd outgrow it rather quickly. thanks in advance - other suggestions for sub-$400 controllers would be welcome! -Peter |

I got a MicroKontrol and was dismayed when i got it - dismayed at myself for not paying enough attention to the desription of the unit before I bought it. As gdoubleyou points out - the keys are not full size. They are not only not full size - they're downright tiny! And, the feel is not good either! The unit is well built, very cool looking, but the key size and feel of the keyboard are so negative that I sent it back and got an Edirol PCR-50. Even if you're not a keyboard player, you will be much better off getting a keyboard with standard-sized keys.
