Novation Remote 25

The numbers and different types of touch controller keyboard aftertouch evec

USE

I love the touch I really think is to be the best in its class I served especially for the renter to squenses (short) synthbr /> it is better prvoir another keyboard more cosquent for "real" keyboard player
Gnral the configuration is fairly simple but cinfiguration templates is long too long .... (finally seen the control numbers has affected it's a bit normal)
Book the manual is in English but in tlchargeable franais (62 pages) it is my opinion very interesting ...

NOTICE GLOBAL

A week

+: Multiple controllers and eur numbers
touch
size

- There is a book without cable (or twelve o'clock or usb) either no power supply ...
the templates recordings
a mk149c Evolution but there's no comparison ...
seen good manufacturing quality usb cable but when I hit the same!
experience?
yes I would do this choice!

Master keyboard very well designed. Ergonomics adapted configurations Daw
Transport controls, track, and control VSTI VST effects.
Comprehensive connectivity twelve o'clock.
Daw comprehensive remote control (used with Cubase SX3, Cubase 5)

using the touchpad for controls is definitely a plus ..

UTILIZATION

The touch is very good and the aftertouch is especially essential for effective control or hard synth VSTI

The configuration is very complete Remote intuitive but requires taking the time to set all midi controllers.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 5 years, this keyboard meets the needs of most frequent use of a home studio.
Although the price was high at first, but it proved to be a great creative tool.
The +
Management and control tracks via the faders and control transportation
the touchpad to control midi synths and other VSTI.

Only concern Automap does not work with the remote in win 7 and limit certain controls.

The -
XP is not perfect but under Win7.

PS, I sell it because I do not have time to create or work sequences.

master keyboard mid / usb standalone store up memories for managing my synths / rack / samplers without using a PC / mac

I do not use VST / software sequencers and other softwares to reason. (I work only hard for years and I do not really want to spend) so my opinion reflects HARDWARE use only.

connectivity huge twelve o'clock!
USB MIDI: Noon (3 midi out over USB)
+
PHYSICAL MIDI (real ports pm) 2 out + 1 thru (increasingly rare) and 1 in)

is more than full!
1 button on / off (practice)
2 footswitch inputs (switch + controller)
1 USB port

Excellent little master keyboard, it serves me for everything when I do not need extended range of action (ideal for my bass and rhythmic sequences to type out a few step sequencing) totally essential for playing with my filters racks (what about my ultra EMU, this little remote it actually drooling ...)

UTILIZATION

feel a little soft, not too bounce, but very pleasant to the touch. the keyboard is a bit noisy. (I think this is the same type of keyboard KS4) which frankly was not bad.

[ca however not worth my Cyber ​​6 but this is the top, at least from my point of view]

manual is not bad, but I do not use it because the machine is very intuitive, its sub menus do not abound. Usually in 2-3 keys are assigned a button to anything (CC, NRPN, sysex ...)

selection of MIDI channels is easy, you can assign a channel for all the buttons and then specifically. routing ports noon is very easy and complete

I add that the ranges are flexible (eg 0-127 or -64 +64, ca does nothing but air is extremely important to control live racks.

it is small, exactly what I was looking for in my rather small space. the MMC controls are perfect, buttons, knobs, sliders are solid.

Overall, ca breathes good design and especially it is very readable. No need to think to change a parameter (cutoff, reso, adsr approx., lfo ..)

OVERALL OPINION

After a lot of testing, I wanted to move towards a remote SL 25 first name because I'm not a fan of the new materials used by innovation in recent years. color me out through the eyes.

the remote SL 25 I liked especially for its readability touble lcd giganteste, but readability is average.

Via an ad, I got a proposal for a remote 25 (non SL) and certainemnet is the best choice I could make for less than 90 euros.

Today, he flew through a dispatch noon, several expanders (03RW Korg, Novation KS rack, JV2080, a well stocked MC505 and 3 samplers.

I recall one button via a configuration suitable for each rack / sampler and without intervention from a computer. short, for my use it is simply top

Small keyboard (a few more notes could have fit in the same format ...)
lots of buttons and knob
3 outputs (USB, midi1, midi2)
configurable desire between the outputs, MIDI channels, the types of messages ...

UTILIZATION

Keyboard a bit short ... (2 octaves is better than good but I still have ten fingers)
the rest ... super ok
instructions in French on the website (hopefully because I knew nothing noon)
all buttons and faders can be configured in different types of messages (CC, Chang Prgr, NRP, etc.)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had fifteen but I have some problems with some buttons that do not work as they should according to the manual ... see my post
I saw that some have had problems with then maybe towards SAV (Note that for a!)
I use it to control live and reason (the samplers) to rewire
I use it with an external power supply (not included) to avoid any heating ...
I chose it mainly for its cot while a small (keyboard + faders + knobs) programmable
portable and lightweight (I also have an old Yamaha V50 25 kg)

I add a little flat today's my opinion
the keyboard off again in the box to the seller ...
an encoder knob endless (the data value n6) just let go ...
3 months of use (not even intensive) and has been able to walk! (Yeah I know was coming, but I hope that has come only once) ...
thank you for the guarantee
