Re: [Evolver] A good midi controller to go with the Evolver

2008-02-06 by cmbubbs

I've got both a Kaossilator (can't put the damn thing down) and an old
Kaoss pad with midi.  I hooked up the Kaoss pad to the MEK and it
screwed up alot of my presets.  I think If you take the time to figure
midi control settings on the MEK it could be cool, but I didn't really
enjoy it much.  My controller is an old Roland E-20, and although its
this giant heavy beast it works fine and I don't have to worry about
computers.  

Cheers.
