PHil Martins « good for its price »
Published on 04/29/11 at 05:39I had gone to buy the keyboard part only ... and for a few dollars extra, there was this lovely shot of the controller, so I took it.
8 pads, 8 knobs, 25 buttons, 1 arpeggiator
MIDI USB (mini USB keyboard itself)
UTILIZATION
The touch keyboard has enough "spring" which surprised me a little early, we expect something more slack.
The manual? not found in mac .. Utility is installed (very well done) and now ... no help menu in this utility so I'm going through because of this ...
OVERALL OPINION
I've had a week and my goal is to use it for the live-act-oriented DJs.
I use the controller with IPAD as touchosc, but I wanted a small annex controller to add voice and controller some additional effects using real knob
It would have been possible to make additional pages with the IPAD, but I wanted to have some real knobs on hand to add a little more fun and life at my gigs.
Initially I was gone for the X1 from Allen & Heath, but I found it too big and did not need a giant dialjog, I stumbled by chance on this controller and I got:
The pros:
- Size
- Price
- The number of functions: keyboard, pads, knobs
- The quality of manufacturing, despite the fact that here it is all-plastic
- The app configuration
the -:
- The size of the knobs, too broad and certainly not high enough for my taste. The grip is not perfect. I have changed for better control
- No doc OSX
I have a gig next week and I could see how the controller behaves. For now it seems quite reliable and I have set my configuration as I prefer.
Honestly I still can not really say whether I am satisfied with my purchase, the future will tell me
