Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi there - I'm looking to get a midi keyboard for my MnM, can anyone
recommend a good one. I'm thinking of the microControl, but I haven't
had a chance to try it due to my location.

Does anyone have one? If so what's it like?

Thanks in advance.

J.

I just got the korg kontrol 49 which is a pretty awesome controller for the MnM.  It has a 
vector joystick which the microkontrol does not and the keys are full sized and there are 
more of them.  I hate mini keys (even though the size overall of the board is cool) so for 
this alone it was not even an option.  There are also a few other added features which 
make it a good overall value and it is not too large.  I highly recommend this for the level 
of control you have over the elektron.

Via the mod wheel if you program it that way but not via keyboard.  Downside, but all the 
other features kick serious ass.  This is the first midi controller I have ever been happy 
with.

I recently did a good amount of research into (smaller) midi
controller keyboards before ultimately settling (although certainly
not settling) on a microKontrol. The only smaller keyboard out there
that transmits aftertouch (to my knowledge) are from Novation (i.e.
the remote 25, which retails at 250-300 US). Personally, I don't mind
the small keys of the microKontrol--thought I would when I tried it
out some time ago in a shop--but they work very well. There really
isn't another keyboard out there of this size that offers sliders,
rotary encoders, and velocidy sensitive pads.

just my $ .02
