Pro tools and controllers
Can someone suggest a reasonably priced controller? I mean basic stuff like a couple knobs and a few levels. I have notation launchkey mini and I have no idea how to get those knobs to work at all.

Re: Pro tools and controllers
Define "reasonably priced" I'd wait for the S1 to be available. AFAIK, none of the HUI devices work well(or at all) for controlling plugins

Re: Pro tools and controllers
I bought a used Command 8 last year for about $150. Ten year old technology but still works wonderfully on my little PT10 setup. No pre's, no converters, but 8 motorized faders, transport, even plugin control. It acually communicates with PT thru MIDI and doesn't even need a driver, so I don't see why it shouldn't work with any version of PT.

Re: Pro tools and controllers
Under $200 shrinks the list:
Used Command 8(usually costs more but Ben found a deal) Behringer BCF2000 (under $200) Original Presonus Faderport(under $100)(only one fader, but very useful) A different style that MIGHT be able to control plugins is the Behringer BCR2000. AFAIK, nothing 3rd party is going to offer much control of plugins unless the plugin has a Midi-Learn feature. So far, the only plugins I have found that have this feature are VI(Virtual Instrument) plugins. Example, I was able to map controls on a VOCE Midi Drawbar unit to control things in the DB-33 organ plugin. Right click on any function in the plugin(drawbar, knob, switch)>select Midi Learn and adjust the control on the external box you want to assign.

Re: Pro tools and controllers
I shouldn't say this but wait until S1 has been out a month and you might find an old Artist Mix for a reasonable price...It has many professional features you'll never find on any other Controller.
