Re: USB MIDI controller

Also the Launch Control series from Novation is quite interesting. I own an XL (which has 24 knobs, 8 faders and 16+8 buttons); while it is not programmable from Linux (yet), I started a project some months ago, which aims to use a program as a sort of "proxy": this means that you connect the Launch Control to my program, and then connect it to your software(s), instruments and so on, also allowing some advanced behavior over MIDI (multiple toggle states, trigger more than one button at a time...) and obviously led programming.
It might not seem very easy in the beginning, but once you've configured your templates, it's very useful, expecially in live.
If you are interested, I wrote a small post here (with some screenshots and explaination on how it works):

yeah, an omission / typo: the icon has _touch sensitive_ motorized faders, the behringer not. i find this to be quite if you are doing something in latch mode and dont want to wiggle the faders all the time to get keyframes recorded.
