Subject: Re: What MIDI Controller for MOTM-650?

From: "peng3002" <megaOhm1@...>
Date: 2005-09-19

I have a M-Audio/Radium 61 key controller with sliders and knobs and it
sucks. No monopreasure and I already had a key go bad after less than a
year of use. There is a Synthesizers.com keyboard on Ebay right now.
You don't even need a MIDI-CV with this one. It can function as a MIDI-
CV for other MIDI devices, too.
