Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] VFX-SD1 as a controller

2000-11-12 by keith cummings

> Hi Micheal, the best bang for the buck and still one
of the finest contollers after all these years is the
Akai MX-73. Yup, you guessed it, 73 keys, synth touch,
with more useful realtime control options than you can
shake a joystick at. Basically outputs on 4 selectable
channels simultaneously, and 4 selectable progchanges
in 100 patchesque groupings, has eight CC controller
switch/slider either/or pedal controls, loads of
layering/splitting, and quite a few extra goodies. My
Kurzweil trembles in its presence...oh ya, built like
a  tank, all metal construction,  and is lighter than
a SD-1. And now the good news, they can be had in the
$200+ dept. This is my stage machine, and works
wonders in the studio with four mods hooked up to it.
Oh ya, it is a dedicated controller that goes well
with anything that bleeps and chirps. Cheers all,
Keith
