Playing off the beautiful mini midi m-audio controller on our main page,
What Midi Controller do you use?
What are your likes/dislikes?
and
What would you recommend others use?
I use the korg k49. Its a very simple midi controller and although i have a few machines with midi controlling capabilities, its the one i use most often. The main thing i like about it is its simplicity. Its very user friendly with not much to learn. On the down side, its functions dont always work as well or even at all as they should. I would definitely recommend this controller as a first time buy for its ease of use, and relative inexpensive price tag.
korg nanokey...it works for my purposes.
velocity is shit, but if you need an ultraportable with pitch and mod action, check it out.
....oh yeah, works out of the box with vista 64 and sonar.
