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 |

Despite the posts listed above, I was still interested in
the Microkontrol, so I went on down to a local Sam Ash and a Guitar Center (they are right next to each other). While I am sure it is a decent midi controller, the keyboard is f*cking crap! If you don't believe me go check it out yourself. The keys are super tiny, I knew they were small, but these are too small and the feel is kind of spongy meaning the response sucks. I was totally disappointed as the unit looks so cool, but just wouldn't be worth the cash. Now I am back to square one on a finding a midi controller that will compliment my Yamaha DX-11. I am thinking just a straight controller, no keyboard right now. Something like the: Behringer BCF2000 $219 or M-Audio UC-33e $329 Anyone, have any other suggestions? -------------------- Ableton Live 4.1
