whats a smaller more compact controller than UC33?

Cache · Post by **Cache** » Wed May 23, 2007 4:04 pm

UC33 is a little bulky for me. i'm getting sick of balancing it on the coffin, or the tables.

anyone got any suggestions for smaller more compact controller?

i know the trade off is buttons/sliders vs space.

Really portable and versatile - but a no go if you have fingers like bratwürstl

JL Cooper CS32

what's up with the CS32? aren't they discontinued and unsupported? do they play nice with Live?

I don't know if the issue was resolved, but I hear that the device would crash (ie: go nuts) if you manipulated more than 1 parameter at once.

That would it make kind of useless, thought. Haven't know about that.

I could certainly be mistaken. Here's one of the threads that made me think so: http://www.ableton.com/forum/viewtopic. ... light=cs32

In any case, they aren't made anymore right?

those faderfoxes look decent. they might be a winner

the JL cooper thingy - great in a nice controller env, but not worth a sh*t in a dark club in a live performance environment.

faderfoxes aren't cheap, but they might do a better job.

no usb though - which prob is more stable, but that means you need a MIDI interface on your laptop (so you're back to more cables/boxes to carry...such as the MOTU midi, or MidiSport boxes)

maybe uc33 is still the simplest?

The faerfox LV1, LV2 & LC2 are the most stable and most ideal midi controllers for Ableton Live. Sturdy, durable, made form good strong components, insanely well thought out.

Better if you buy 2 though.

the same.
