I have one, and yess, they are great versatile midi controller. Full configurable, built to last, and the motion sequencer + the midi lfo are some kick ass features. Ah, and Mackie Control Emulation is such a pleasure to work with. Support is also very good. I can def. recommend it !

don't know for what they go, but sounds like a nice deal. The ribbon thing looks sexy.

i think the cme one has a ribbon controller instead of a d-beam thingy as well... but i'll trust the box
