Controller recommendation please...
Hello all, I'm looking for a simple midi controller that I can place on my desktop. Yes, I am stuck way back in time. I've never used one of the small ones because I have been recording mostly live instruments. I have Pro Tools MP 8. Currently, I only use MIDI for recording piano sounds using Synthogy's Ivory II software. I am currently using a mid 80's Roland 88-key stage piano as a controller. I have been using a Alesis drum machine for drum backing tracks, but it has stopped working. I'd like to try creating backing tracks using the plugins that came with pro tools, so I've been looking at the M-Audio Axiom Air mini 32. I read the sticky about getting the Axiom controllers and pro tools and it looks frustrating. Also, I want to be sure that adding a second controller doesn't mess with the functionality of my current midi controller, because it work perfectly. I also like the looks of the Samson Graphite M25. I just need something inexpensive to play around with for now and see if I like it. What's out there that is simple to set up? Thanks for any advice.
