Controller devices

Hi,

Just got myself a crackin wee MacBook, i'll be installing Ableton Live fairly soon and I intend to use it for music performaces in 'sample and loop' stylee, the question is what midi controller should I go for to assist me in making sets look less like some twat doing his homework on stage?

Cheers

Kenny

Depends on your budget.

Lemur or Xone3D if you're minted.

Evolution UC33 or M-Audio Trigger finger if you're not.

According to the folks I know who are in the know.

But don't trust anything I say. I'm still trying to get my head round Traktor.

cheers Murray. to be honest the dear ones don't look like what i'm after, i dont like touch screen things and the allen & heath looks a bit too much like a dj mixer for what i fancy doing. i like the big 'hit me' buttons on the m-audio and i like all the rotaries on the other one, i'll try and find a combo thats like that.

first "live" gig 25th september... i'll need to get a move on lol

U might be better with a Trigger Finger or an Akai MPD 24 then RSI ...i got an akai and its been solid ...no problems...had it for over 18 months now....

Or one of these: http://www.faderfox.de/html/lv2_product_page.html

One going for £150 on ECCF the now.

only thing that put me off Faderfox was they are battery powered....and u have to daisy chain them via midi cables....
