kontrol49 vs. microkontrol

[k-sweise]

Hey guys,

I am currently setting up Ableton 8 and am looking to buy a midi controller to use along with it. I have trusted korg and it seems that the kontrol49 and the microkontrol have had mixed reviews from my research. I do not have a problem with key size, but I am looking for something easy to use, won't give me a bunch of errors while using Ableton, and gives me the capability to grab and tweek the best sounds. If anyone could give me any advice it would be a huge help.

Thanks,

Kyle

Both are pretty much the same
I still have my Old Kontrol49 here
I had Problems that are Related to the Kontrol49, Cubase & The Intel Core 2 Quad (This Causes Cubase To Crash when shutting down)

However I Have to say that I did Not have any Problems with Ableton Live

The Only difference between the 2 is that the Kontrol49 is full size and has a few little extra buttons to work with

Thanks for the info. I've found a Kontrol49 for $200 so I think the decision is being made for me.
