Yup ... I recommend a keyboard and knob or slider box of some kind.
They are SO cheap now ... that Oxygen 8 keyboard is only $139 US NEW, and it
has 8 knobs AND a 1 octave keyboard ... You can get used Phat Boys for less
than $100.00 and they work good with FL.
I mostly use my keyboard for auditioning samples at different pitches, (just
select the channel and "play" the note on the keyboard) and banging out
three-note riffs or something .. Latency doesn't even matter, since I can
just tweak it out in the piano roll later ... And my knob box is awesome for
mixing down or finding great tones on the synths ...
If anybody wants to buy a used knob box, I could be convinced to part with
my Doepher Pocket-Control for $100 US . I'm going to buy that Oxygen-8
keyboard as soon as the local music store is restocked.. I'll even throw in
my ancient Quickshot midi-keyboard (it works!) for nothing, if you want it.
Peace!
