Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I have several 88's here that I use with the PEK and SE P'08 ...
the ones I use are weighted type too
(Korg Extreme and Alesis Fusion)
When I let my wife midi into the DSI synths, she uses a Yamaha S-80 or P-60.

Yea, I know they are not midi controllers but just pointing out, 88's are
good and I often use
those in conjunction with the output or feed their input into the DSI
synths.

Also, just for fyi, if you got a guitar, try out the roland gr type pickups
and feed that into the DSI synths ... ;-)
Les Paul here config to do this.

> I'm looking for opinions of those who use 49 or 61 key controllers.

> I'm searching for a controller with aftertouch and playability that will
last more than a year, posessing durability and doesn't feel like a CME-UF
series(had one, sold it, completly un-impressed with it, not going to get
into it) but not expensive like a new Studiologic controller, asking much I
know.
> Durability of the keys are more than my main concern, followed by
funcitonality as I'll be using it live and only mainly using it for playing,
not knob turning.

> I'm considering:
> - Edirol PCR800 (bad online reviews about durability)
> - Akai MPK49
> - Novation Remote SL Compact (49 or 61)
> - M-Audio Axiom 61
> - Yamaha KX61 (can't find any good reviews)
> - or a used Kurzweil 2000 / Studiologic (since I own a K2500 and its been
rock solid for over 10 years).
