Midi Controllers
September 04, 2009, 02:49:11 pm
Im quite new to this world of electronic music production. I am wondering if anybody has any advice for a basic midi controller (on a budget). At the moment the Korg Nano looks most apealing. and body got any knowlege of this, or other sub fifty quid keyboards?

Can't go wrong with the Novation Nocturn

http://us.novationmusic.com/products/midi_controller/nocturn

Automaps to Ableton which is nice. Circa 60-70 rips. Plenty of info on web about it.

Probably not what you're after, but for DJing with Traktor the best thing to get would appear to the modified Vestax VCI-100 that DJ Tech Tools sell, the VCI-100SE. I'm going to get one in the autumn for doing rainy day mixes.

Avoid keys.  Seek a Behringer BCR2000. 



There's a billion knobs for you to assign here.  You can pick these up 2nd hand for 50 or 60 quid.  Much more bang for the buck than trash like the M Audio X session, which is all I have the now :(
