Korg MicroKontrol

[Dafydd]

Does anyone have one of / anything against these?

I'm seriously considering getting one, used. I don't have a lot of desk space but I think something like this could be extremely useful. Is there a better alternative in the same price/size range?

What's it do?

[Dafydd]

What it does? Well, it's a keyboard. You plug it into your computer and press some buttons. Voila, a remix is born!

Seriously though - it's got the sliders, the "encoders" (?) and the trigger pads besides the usual stuff. My current keyboard has a lot more octaves and bigger keys but no pitch wheel or any fancy controllers.

That looks nice and compact, I don't like combined Mod/pitch wheels though, not like that anyways.

I agree it would have been cool with separate mod and pitch wheels, but the joystick can be reprogrammed to do other stuff too. Like moving around on a "pad", like a 2D formant filter, or moving the mouse pointer. The kontrol49 has both 2 wheels and a joystick, but it's another $125 or so and much bulkier.
