Novation ReMote LE 49

Has anyone tried this midi keyboard? I'm in the market for a
new one, looking for one with nice quality action on the
keys and also real-time control (of which this thing appears
to have a decent measure). Would you recommend any midi
controllers other than this one that fit the same specs?
Mainly I'm wondering about the action of the keys on this
one because I can't stand cheap keys with weak response. It
doesn't necessarily need to be weighted, just responsive and
sturdy. Thanks.

i got an emu x keyboard ...not that good really i would
avoid them. i bought the little one for portability.

and an evolution 149 which i rather like cause i can play
the keys really fast for drum sounds. and they are light n
sensitive ..
its really nice to play on..

i got the evo from international stock for like 15 quid 10
years ago. i split a drink in it and one of the key doesn't
work now...so im hoping to buy another or very similar.. it
has no knobs or sliders tho...

probably best to go try the keyboard you want in a shop
before buying on line,.

I heard these are pretty good for midi control and midi
keyboard usage to your pc laptop or mac. Also i pressed the
keys once in a store, they handled pretty good as well. I
think you should just go for it mate, and if it's shit, sell
it again.

yeah that's a good point, I can always just re-sell it. I'm
going down to Sam Ash (the music instrument store in my
area) tomorrow to see if they have any novation keyboards so
I can test out the action, but I might just end up buying it
online anyway if Sam Ash doesn't carry them.

just to add incase you try an x board... and think "hmm
nice"....the pitch wheel on mine is very very awkward to
pull all the way back to get to a full negative or a full
octave down or what ever its set at...y need nails or thin
fingers.
its a bitch ...i need to get a hack saw and cut out some of
the plastic to make it easy use....might be just mine?? also
the knobs randomly send out info all the time....the display
constantly flickers .....the velocity keys are dificult to
play very soft ....you do get velocity preset .thingys so
you can have your prefered response...but i had trouble
....but ..i got mine from ebay as a refurb ....yet...many
others have experienced the same...i love emu ..hardware
samplers and audio interfaces but this keybaord is a bit
knackered. the knobs are not on evenly either.
otherwise the keys have a special quality to them but not as
fast as my evolution.

thanks for the input/advise, man. I'll probably stay away
from the emu boards.
