midi controller

is there a hardware midi controller that has tons of keys,
or better yet buttons. what i mean more precisely is, what
has the most keys or buttons (that can be assigned to
pitches for example) in the smallest space. i need at least
100 keys or buttons, any help appreciated. i know, shouldn't
be using midi etc... but there you go.

if there is one that's actually compact and not too heavy,
that would be cool though... thing is, with 100+ buttons,
you really need an efficient but not too 'crowded' layout.
quite a design problem, wish there was a modular midi
controller platform that you could build up like legos, then
you would have a really superb, custom solution. given that
the platform itself was well done.

ew=article&id=135&Itemid=177 is getting there.. the kinda
thing... just lotsa on/off switches for inputing several
microtonal notes simultaneously (for instance), don't even
need velocity really

there's a scene selector on that one, does that mean it'll
do (64*amount of scenes)? kinda hard to make out from just
the picture.

maybe a handful of novation launchpads, I dunno. i know
they're primarily an ableton thing, but from what I
understand they do midi shizzle as well

a monome. Or alternately, something like Livid DIY kit.
Livid also sells assembled modules that you piece together
and connect to a processor, so you don't need to do any
actual soldering.

Why shouldn't you be using midi?
