microkey is supposed to be compatible with windows xp sp3. unfortunately there is only a 32 bit version of sp3. 64 bit version only goes to sp2. which is what i have. anyway, i was wondering if anyone with xp sp3 has ever been able to get the microkey to work. i am not going to spend 2 weeks ...

have you looked at the novation launchpad yet? You mentioned using ableton...this controller is made specifically for this daw.
check it out, might be something you'd be interested in...

hadnt seen this yet. very cool! thanks for posting.

After having a bit of a look around, the MicroKey looks quite nice. I think a Microkey + Nanopad2 + APC40 combo for me would be ideal, assuming there arent any better versions of these controllers out.

Well I think the touchpad looks like it could be pretty awesome for automating fx (my daw is sonar, btw), and also for punching in samples for stuff like drumbeats that wouldnt ...

If you just want a midi controller why get a kaoss pad or kaossilator at all, rarther than a dedicated midi controller? If you're set on a kaoss product, the kaossuilator is a synth, the kp3 is not. It's an effects unit, for adding effects to external audio sources. It has a few builtin "synth" and ...

I have tried to figure out the difference between the 2 of these and due to the fact I am a synth noob Im a bit lost. Heres what Ill be using it for: 95% of the use will be as a midi controller. Trigger samples on my pc, or controlling effects in realtime, stuff like that. Live use will probably be ...
