| Already said this in another thread but I like my SL. It works 100% perfectly with Reason (now that I've figured out how to control channels 7-14 on the mixer... durhh).
I don't think it's so great with other DAWs. I have not tried it with other virtual instruments (spent 2 minutes trying to control a 3rd party AU within Logic and didn't even have any idea where to start trying to make it work). If I wasn't spending most of my time in Reason it would not have been worth the price tag (37 key version is 500bux).
I always thought the BCR looked and felt a bit cheap. I have never actually used one to control anything, though, so I don't really know. I think I'd have a hard time keeping track of what 32 knobs and 16 buttons in one square foot with no LCD are each controlling when they're not permanently assigned to anything.
Is it just me or does it seem like the middle-knob on the Nocturn is kind of redundant? If you have to move your mouse over the parameter in the first place, you might as well go ahead and click on it instead of letting it hover there and reaching over to a knob and then reaching back over to your mouse when you're done. Maybe mouse editing isn't fun but it's pretty quick and if you have to use your mouse to find what you want to edit anyways... |
