I'm thinking of picking up the Doepfer pocket control, but I'd like to hear from anyone who has one. Are the knobs too stiff or too closely spaced? Should I consider spending the extra money and get the sliders version? |

The "endless" dial sounds interesting I'll admit - and apparently Fruity supports it... |

if you can afford it you should get the levers and pullies version. || O o || //\\, ||// -O-==o O |

Well I got the funky - not ugly, FUNKY! - blue one. It works great. I just plugged it in and started assigning knobs to different controls in Fruity. Being able to control all those granular synth parameters in realtime and get those autechre-y effects is amazing. I also checked out one of the Midiman knob / slider / keyboard combos but it was a cheap piece of crap. The keyboard felt doughy, like trying to play an old woman's ass. Not that I'd know anything about that. |

I used the doepfer one for a bit but I prefer the Native Instruments 4 control, it doesn't need a power supply and when you start to change the knobs it effects the 'virtual' things as if that's where it is...It's hard to explain but if the slider on your computer is at 124, and you little knob is at 5, it'll act as if it's at 124...I know what I mean anyway. |

I think I get what you mean - and it is neat - but the Doepfer model like that was twice the price. And doesn't the NI control have only 4 knobs? |

Yes, but that's one of the reasons I like it. you can do another 'pass' if you want to alter other parameters, with sixteen I find myself playing with everything and not focusing on the main bits. |
