best companion midi controller
best companion midi controller Posted on: 13.04.2011 by Nicolle Diller im looking for a controller, midi keyboard, etc to compliment my setup. (i have the S4) i was believeing of an oxygen 8, but i would also like to see perhaps more controls, ie faders, knobs, buttons (not piano-keyboard) but on the other hand, it would like it to have a piano keyboard, say, 25 keys, to use the same controller as a production tool too im faced with a decision i dont know enough about.... what do YOU guys believe? | |

| Phoebe Balon 02.05.2011 | Hey Yep! As you work with S4 and Axiom 49, do you have any idea if exists a mapping for axiom 25 to use it in S4 software? I would appreciate your help Ive looking anywhere but i can't find anything! |
| Gloria Lemmel 13.04.2011 | If you aren't constrained by price, the M-Audio Axiom 25 is a good call. So is the Akai MPK25. If it is, the MPKMini seems good enough. Novation also has the Nocturn 25. All of these are very nice controllers with completely MIDI Mappable features, but the Nocturn 25 has the least mappability being that you need to avoid using the Novation Mapping Software unless you plan on DJing with Ableton. I have an M-Audio Axiom Pro 49 and love it, I've only taken it to one gig, so I can't speak on it's live abilities fully, but as a production tool it's amazing. The only plus that one of these controllers has over the others is the MPK25's 12 pads instead of 8, but that adds bulk, which can change around how you have to carry your gear around. If you're looking for pure portability, the MPKMini is the best, but if you want the most features the MPK25 is the best. I'd say that the M-Audio Axiom 25 is the best mixture between the two. |
| Nicolle Diller 13.04.2011 | okay, what about mpk25 vs mini? any upsides to choosing on over the other? |
| Ciara Cuttill 13.04.2011 | before others start chiming in the same ... akai mpk mini [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Akai-Pro-MPK-mini/dp/B00466HM28"]Amazon.com: Akai Pro MPK mini: Musical Instruments@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31u6fjr0DiL.@@AMEPARAM@@31u6fjr0DiL[/ame] |
