apc20/40 vs POS keyboard and korg nano

Post by werlin »

recently my axiom49 passed away...

so i started to listen for a new control setup

evidently the akai's apc20 and apc40 stand out, especially the apc20 since is the most sensible aproach on price\controls ratio

but has been pointed out through the web that feedback with resolume is non existent unless you have Ableton open during the gig, and for me personally is a big handicap since in my experience there's a problem telling if rubber buttons and pads were or not clicked

edit: also there's some rumors about the apc20 dificulty with control mapping

so about a year ago i wanted to try and convert a qwerty keyboard to midi to get around the pad problem, and now in search for an alternative to the apc20, i "discovered" this http://www.cherrycorp.com/english/keybo ... R_C_r1.pdf and other posKeyboards used normally for restaurants and alike.
and i thought if a posKeyboard and 1 or 2 korg nano kontrollers wouldn't do the trick...

i mean, for about the same price or less, i get more controls and get around the feedback problem...

has anyone ever tried to use a posKeyboard and some faders for a setup?

what do you think?
