That's good to hear, I may pick one of those up. On another note I had to go back about 20 years to find the midi controller I wanted. I got a Roland A-50 w/76keys with great action for synths -mod wheel,pitch wheel,+ extra bender+mod,true polyphonic aftertouch - not sure if there making any like that now'a'days.I got mine almost mint so thats a plus as in 1 year she'll be vintage. I'll probably pick up an 88key as well for pianos, maybe a Studiologic with a decent build..I use a SL remote zero on desk with A-50 for keys, multi-controllers are truly the answer. Currently it seems the best quality is from yesteryear though,but I'm still hoping that Novation will make a 76 or 88 key SL w/automap that would fill a quality and keyrange gap that exists now in the modern controller spec.Novation does need to add some weight to their frames though..

Don't buy the cheap stuff

go back a few years

Btw.. Have a Motif XS as well,but for controlling softsynths it really does suck.
