Davo Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 Personally, I use and love the Roland PC 200 mk2 and am thinking of getting another one. I've been thinking of getting a keyboard with lots of knobs, but am uncertain of how good a fit this would make with midibox stuff and rackmount stuff, in particular the Yamaha TX802.

audiocommander Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 I like the KORG microKONTROL (except for it has no motorized faders). It's small, good quality knbos and faders, has a short keyboard and nice big rubber pads, up to 12 setups... and a very clean, easy to use design.Michael ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaicen Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Personally, i'm a KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid!) kind of guy. I really like the old roland sequencers like the MC-202 and TR-606. I think the sequencer on the 505 is pretty damn good as well, especially with the nice LCD Display. I haven't used a 707 but I imagine that's even better! My ideal controller would have a 16-step, 8-track (min) drum sequencer and a 16-step TB/MC style mono bassline sequencer. this would also need to include a few pots/sliders for controlling the mono-synth. I don't think it even needs LCD's, just an encoder to select the drum tracks (with LED Display) and LEDs for each step/button. Ermm, getting back on track, I use a yamaha DX27 as my primary controller because it's the cheapest full size MIDI keyboard I could get!! I don't use the onboard sounds much, but they're nice to have. Only thing it misses is velocity sensing, though it responds to velocity over MIDI. I use a bent 505 for programming drums too, again, because it's the cheapest thing in the world! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrBunsen Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I think the sequencer on the 505 is pretty damn good as well, especially with the nice LCD Display. I haven't used a 707 but I imagine that's even better! Nice as the 707 is for sequencing its own drums or triggering analogues with the seperate outs, it's -useless- for MIDI sequencing as it won't send MIDI notes in pattern write mode... no jamming to MIDI :-( BOO Roland, boo !! I'm looking for a 505 or a 626 for that reason.I like your thoughts on an ideal controller :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
