<moderator - sorry, the moderation system screwed up again :(, original post from amit wadhwa, not from me!> i currently am using this miditech controller, its pretty decent. i think the velocity sensitivity is a bit shotty. i would probably not buy it again, it has an overall cheap feel to it: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/search/detail/base_pid/702340/sourceid=0 0299999396952177939 if i were to buy a new controller i would probably get the oxygen 8. its compact and pretty powerful. it runs on usb but also has midi connections so you can use it for hardware still: http://www.midiman.net/products/midiman/oxygen8.php and i've been droolin over this for a while. im a big mpc fan, so bringin this interface to floops, excuse me - fl studio, would be slammin: http://www.akaipro.com/consumersite/productpage2.asp?id=146§ion= <excess quote snipped>
