Beginners
I had the knobs in addition to my controlfreak faders, and passing a tough lil keyboard, with a view to carry it live without really screw up. It seemed especially suited it is discoverable for really cheap.
cot no MIDI Through connector, the bare minimum union ... Some controller in the same range are livs with modulation pedals, it's not the case. Power is supplied by USB (2). No more AC adapter (optional). As against it runs on batteries.
Note that MIDI is not super tough behind, and I had a hell of a the file ... problem finishing?
UTILIZATION
The keyboard is enjoyable, the octave shift is indicated by LEDs. I feel more at ease than on my DX11 and my Babasse, the keys have more travel.
The knobs are not notched a race stopped, and also relatively enjoyable enough space, they were well in hand. Y'en 12, adjustable on 3 levels, 36 controls for presets, even the number of them 20.
The config gnrale is relatively simple, especially since with Ableton Live live everything is simple, BUT! I would still push even a rant: We all prtend this controller (like many others) is prconfigur for a variety of software, including Ableton Live. Ok, but how it's done?? I have the rglettes ableton to do well under the knobs, but what is preset on??? Can not find the manual, since this one reference has numros invisible on rglettes ... Not live in the preset table, found in the depths of the unfathomable Alesis site ... A "life" lying around ... would have a?? Bin its not working. Grrr!
Well okay, fortunately live is configured as a heart ... It is a pity because even when I AIM with a default control map that is oprationnel ds light the sequencer ... but hey .. Jme go bump in the crowd cc programming for Vanguard, and is a good. Let us hope that the agreements between dvelloppeurs soft and hardware that are increasingly in place (among other innovation Ableton) will go further than a manual config for always easy for beginners.
I do not get too used to the XY controller that replaces the mod wheel and pitch. A lil joystick not very practical I think.
The manual is clear but Talaga. The installation is instant with XP native drivers.
OVERALL OPINION
I've had a week too early to judge the solidity of the thing. I do not particulirement his mouth (a little gross), but it is prsentable. It is a well finished product, which appears to be relatively resistant, even if it is far from the finish kenton (SpinDoctor the knobs in the family, no keyboard, but more powerful, more robust and the same price ... casiment ...)
Report price more than acceptable quality using as it cost me nine 110 with the port ... At this price it's rpond my expectations, o my overall score.
I think the little extra for the other dmarquer t he would put the controller of his great ERRF XYZ, the photon X25 ... But hey, it's still a good product. Note that Cubase SE is served with, for those a branch.
