UC16 alternative

I'm looking for a cheap midi controller (usb preferably) that is like the UC16...

I only really need something that is small, portable and has plenty of pots. I have had a look around a few places here in the UK but either can't find anyone selling them, or they're going for quite a high price.

I've got an X-session pro already, but want something to use for effect control.

If the UC16 is too expensive for you, you will probably have a hard time finding something cheaper that's not held togther with duct tape..

It was fairly cheap when I was looking for it originally, but the places I've found want over £100 for it - I'd probably go the behringer route for that...

The original X-Session I got was only £50...

Unfortunately, there is really nothing else out there that is of comparable
size and price. I think the kensington controller would be the next best
thing, but the price is outrageous. Another big plus was that the uc16
was bus powerd, don't know why they stopped making them.

I have a UC-17 that I might be willing to sell. Drop me a PM if you're interested.
