Anybody using a dedicated controller for macros?
Anybody with a dedicated controller ( Novation Launchpad, Korg Nanopad, a midi keyboard with pads etc... ) to launch macros programmed with Quickeys ( is that the only option for creating macros? )?
Could one somehow use another normal computer keyboard? I was very impressed about the macro keys and possibilities on the Euphonics MC5 pro controller...so looking for something similar in simpler and cheaper form. Thanks.

I've used the XKeys professional pad for years. Superb piece of kit, massively speeds up workflow.
Map your Quickeys shortcuts to the pad, get a dymo label printer and name your shortcuts. The tops of the keys are removable so you can label them. XKeys make their own shortcut software too, but I didn't find it as good as QK's, it may have improved though. You can map shortcuts to your own keyboard too with Quickeys. The setup is a bit of a learning curve, Quickeys is a bit idiosyncratic and you have to program all the key combinations you want to use into the XKeys pad, but it pays off. Happy Macro-ing. |
