The Kaossilator doesn t have MIDI, so it can t control the Evolver. The Mini KP, on the other hand, might be really fun with the Evolver. Not as a controller

I have an E-MU Xboard 25 that i like. But any of those controllers will work. It s all up to your personal preference.

When you write click do you mean detents? Encoders with detents click with each value. Without detents a knob is smooth when you turn it. -- Iain
2008-02-05 by Christian Brun
No! The MEK doesn t click! You can however see the current value by twisting the knob only slightly, sort of like on the MED but without the actual click.
