Out of the box you have to press really hard to get it to engage.Once you get the setting correct, it is great. You will need to open the board up and turn an adjustment knob to get the correct feel. They are solid, not flimsy like so many other controllers.ģ) The After Touch is solid. They make playing more natural and the velocity doesn't jump huge intervals when playing if you set it correctly.Ģ) The feel of the keys.

My favorite synth action board is the Roland A800 Pro for the following reasons:ġ) The velocity settings on this controller are the best by far of any controller that I have or have tried. I have the following Midi Controller Keyboards: The nektar is vastly superior for that, but wouldn't work for your needs (and doesn't even have aftertouch), so I'm just mentioning it but it's just me being chatty.
Mine still works, but like the last point, I'm 99.9% reason since Jan. NEVER get a novation impulse to use with REASON (just awful!) They didn't have that way back when I bought mine.

But the feel is pretty good, semi-weighted means SEMI weighted (some people seem to think they should be full weighted (nutter) ) Have no clue why but I've heard many people say they same thing. But a little weird in that the black keys do not feel anything like the white keys with aftertouch. For both live and studio one the "automap host" or whatever it's called worked fine. It's too messy and doesn't always work as expected. wrapping your plugs in automap wasn't for me. I used my novation impulse with live 8/9.x and studio one 2.x for a long time and enjoyed it. effects are easy because they have less than 16 parameters normally. That's why I really don't believe any product on the market really cuts it when it comes to "integration" or "good control" of instrumens. The main problem is surfing banks of 8 parameters, to me it's just such a PITA to move back and forth for editing, it's just so much faster with the mouse. But honestly I only use it to control effects, for instruments I only use it for tweaking cutoff, resonance and envelopes. I have push, I can save the mapping with the project or as instrument/effect racks for any plug in I configure. Same stuff with Akai advance since it is also a wrapper, the advantge is that it comes premmaped. What i would really like would be a dedicated controller for each vst.of course thats not going to happen though.Well automap does that but the problem is that being a wrapper if at some point if you stop using it then you won't be able to open old projects, it won't recognize the plug in the same way. It gets a bit time consuming and upsets the work flow. At the moment I seem to be re-assigning evrything with each new project. I don't need templates as such.in fact it is probbably best I do the mapping myself as seom synths must have pages of controls and it would not makes sense maybe to try and map everything onto a keyboard with x8 pads/buttons/rotaries. What I would like is a controller that I can map and for the same mappings to appear for each vst everytime I want to use it. Login, What you say about 'integration' reflects what other people seeem to be saying too.
