so, i'm have been making music on my pc for about 1 year now, and i really wanna spend some money on a neat midi interface. i searched the net today for midi controllers, but i couldn't found anything really useful. i don't even know how much a simple controller costs. i would want to have one with about 10 knobs and 5 sliders. that would be okay. i even thought about making one myself, but www.ucapps.com is a bit difficult for me. maybe there are some other sites? so, tell me everything you can about midi controllers. prices, sites, links or e-mails where i can ask for help. thank you very much |

i second his motion; i too would enjoy some info on midi. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
thanks. maybe at making a song, this isn't so important. but i played with ableton live today, and it's nearly impossible to change all options in so short time with a mouse ! |

try the midiman |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
M-Audio Radium 49/61 has 8 knobs and 8 sliders. Edirol PCR30/50 have 8 of each too (I think). |

|
all i want is a midi merging box thats all! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i didn't add an important thing ! midi keyboards can be posted too, but i want a midi knob box like the phat boy !! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Argh! ;) Well in that case I think Doepfer make great gear like Pocket Control (16 knobs) and Pocket Fader (16 faders). try www.doepfer.de |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've never seen a midi knob box that comes equipped with sliders. Do they exist? I second the Midiman Radium. Eight knobs, eight sliders, USB = no pesky power cables. |
||||||||
|

i'm looking at the korg microKORG, and it's a neat little synth, but can be used as a midi controller as well. probably not the same but i thought i'd throw it out |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
link ?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just checked out the doepfer products. pretty cool stuff. hadn't heard of them way out here. |
||||||||
|
|

yeah also the mackie control surfaces are good, with lots of DAW integration. I use the evolution MK249C midi keyboard with about a dozen assignable pots, which was cheap and is also a keyboard! ive been using pcs for a while and i have to that a hardware midi interface is a must. for all the advantages of software, id much rather have real hardware, purely for tweakability and routing possibilities. |

sadist: are the links not coming up on your comp? they work for me |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i wanted a link to midiman |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whoops sorry, didn't see the part that said "followup" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
could anyone post it ?? the link to midiman ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I use a Phatboy. No longer the best budget one, but very robust and I'm happy with it. I'll probably get a controller keyboard with a few knobs on it at some point and use both at once. more10: You have no idea how much I wanted the drehbank :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Theres a french made controller for rack with 8 faders and 24 knobs...I'll see if I can find it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

save yourself the hassle of this and just buy a 16 channel mixer and about 4 soundcards or just get a pci adat card and a digital mixer with adat inputs. 1 fibre optic cable carries 8 audio data streams. pricey though:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indeed pricey |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
get midiman or the new which has addititional built-in audio interface they both have 25 note keys, 8 MIDI assignable knobs and 1 assignable slider, a pitch bend weel and a modilation wheel for more midiman keyboards check out: |

That's all I could find off the top of my head... I know there's a really cool mouse type thing that has 2 programmable jog wheels and a handful of buttons which you could use Making MIDI controllers... rawr... I know there's a company that offers packages to build your own, I'm taking an electronics course next quarter to learn how to do stuff like that, maybe I'll put up a guide or something for Xltronic |
