I use computers now for VA stuff.
Several of us blind guys owned Alesis Ions. Lots of hardware control, but still
some menus. Novation has some VAs with lots of hardware controls. The X-Station
had a fair amount of controls, but their A-Station, and others, didn't.
The cheap VAs will have fair sound, but will use few controls and lots of
menus. If you get lots of hardware controls, then the price goes up. If you get
a multitembral unit, and/or with effects, then the price goes up again.
Damon Fibraio has owned several of these, including a few recent ones from Nord
that didn't work out. Perhaps he'll comment.
You should be prepared to spend $800 or more, unless you want a toy.
