yeah that's right it's not available anymore, I think not alot of people know about it either but it seems that those that do think quite highly of it I'm just not sure if I should be lookin at it like a unique classic being that no midi controller is quite like it or should I be judging from some other perspective. It doesn't help that I myself buy stuff based on my need and if I have the money, not based on the price necessarily for instance I'm waiting for maschine to hit $200bucks cause I don't need it but if Live cost twice what I paid for it I still wouldn't hesitate to get it if you know what I mean so I'm not good when it comes to putting prices on stuff.

that's why I thought orig price might be fair

so you can honor the fact that it's a collectors item without being a money grubbing whore

They've always intrigued me, though I have never used one. Can you list any pros & cons?

Do you have the software editor?

Thanks

no i don't use the editor but i do have it, people swear by the editor so I guess it's a good thing but I don't dip too much below the surface of midi controllers anyway.
you're right its very small but that is kind of the obnoxious point as you can see in the pic on sonicstate, it's not for replacing your ssL desk :lol:
next to a laptop and a mpc 500 it looks great.


pros would be the size and amount of control
cons would be your friends will try to steal it
