OT: Midi-board recommendations

2012-10-14 by Sean

Hi all. Burned out my midiboard I've been using. It was an older Oxygen49 from Maudio. Not bad but couldn't take the beating of being treated like a 400lb Hammond. Shorted out entirely.

Was just at guitar center and was disappointed by what I found available there.

Looking for recommendations.

Must be durable and sturdy!!!
Must have 9 programmable drawbars
Must have at least 5 programmable knobs
Must have at least 3 programmable buttons
Must have a programmable footswitch input
Shying away from a weighted keyboard. Not doing piano work, just triggering the Hammond-sim and the Mellotron-samples.

So far I've gotten a recommendation towards the Axiom line of products. I'll price out later. Thanks all.

-Sean, who hath been away from the list for several months.
