And you can even assign diffrent velocity curves that serves your needs and playing styles. If you will have a better keyboard to that price, then you must (IMHO) buy an old JX8P or something. The cheapest keyboards are usually not very good. > > Also I'm thinking that what I really want from a control surface isn't a > load of pots - it's one or two rotary encoders with a load of push > > Also I'm thinking that what I really want from a control surface isn't a > load of pots - it's one or two rotary encoders with a load of push > button switches to assign the encoders to different midi controllers, You can use any control knob (several of them lights up) for IE. Ardour (play, stop etc) and the mixing. I have not figured everything yet, bur look forward to it. More that 16 of the control pads can also send Note on (with velocity). I don't like them, but others do. The bottom line: you get what you pay for.
