Subject: Re: Preferred control surface ?

From: antret@...

I have the An200 (basically the PLG card in a box) and use one of the novation remote sl's to control the 'hidden' parameters not available from the front panel. ∗IF∗ the plg cards work the same way (where a number of editable parameters are accessed through sysex as opposed to CC #'s) I would suggest the novations since you can program it to send the needed sysex messages. I think the behringer knobby box may be able to do this as well? If I understand correctly, not a lot of the modern day 'controllers' have that sysex functionality.
