MIDI controller

Post by pld »

Hi all,


I am new here, looking for a good midi controller to use with resolume, money is not an issue.

Thanks

There is a lot out there and it's really a matter of personal preference but it seems like the Akai APC40 or APC40 MK2 work very well with Resolume.

As i started with resolume i bought an APC40 becouse i had a good chance and a cheap offer. But then i steped back and took a Korg Nano and run most of the Shows with it so far.
It took me allmost 2 years to reach the Limit of the Korg Nano and had the wish to have more Faders & Knobs ;)

So dont get to big and dont waste to much money inside a Controller you may never need becouse its to big ;)


For the Start is the Korg Nano 2 perfect.
- few Faders : Layer
-few knobs : effects
- few bottons : either effect parameters and bpm tab and stuff...

I agree that going all out on a first controller is not a good idea. You need to find out what your working method is first.

Akai APC mini is nice too- http://www.akaipro.com/product/apc-mini

64 buttons (8x8) and 9 sliders for about $100

Set a row of buttons to switch decks, maybe set a slider to AB fading or whatever.

I use one slider for each layers fade, and another for each layers transport control to scratch. Goes a long way.

I thinkI will go for the APC40, it is not me who is paying the bill:-)

Thanks all for the info!

Machine will be a Z170X with I7-6700 3.4, 2x GTX960 4GB, Samsung SSD950PRO, 16GB RAM and a BlackMagic MiniRecorder.
