Default Keyboard Controller Suggestion

My old m-audio keystation 61 gave up the ghost.

Been out of the loop for a while.

Need a solid controller 61 keys or less maybe some pads also.

Any suggestion on what is working well with PT 12 and VI's these days?

Thank you

Why do you have duplicate threads on this subject? Not cool.

Maybe the moderators can merge the two (there's one over in the general discussion forum) somewheres.

And while he's at it maybe he can delete your insignificant addition to this thread.

But in all fairness I love me some Barney Fyfe also.

Keep up the good work check point chickie.

Whatever dude, whatever.

Just trying to keep you from running into a problem with disregarding the TOS which most people are aware of. Duplicate threads confuse people which is why they're a no-no.

The biggest problem you're going to have is mapping the controllers to PT. Anything that uses Automap has a bad rep. Try looking at one of the Arturia controllers or even one of the NI ones.

Look at Nektar controllers...got a 61 key for $110 from Sweetwater. YMMVA in terms of features and requirements needed but I just use it to trigger VIs.

Native drivers in Win 7 Pro work perfect.
