Cool to see that the guy with the aBility controller (or however it's spelled) has finally got his website and stuff together, but $340 is a bit much for the package. It's very solid, but that's why I like the Logidy UMI3. I had an FCB 1010. Loved it. It worked great. It's also too damn big to take overseas with my other gear, and I never used the expression pedals. The Logidy UMI3 has a standard expression pedal input and is:

1. Only $70!
2. More compact while being very robust than any other controller I know of.
3. Has it's own native software for allowing for sequences of different midi commands to be executed.

I guess I'm biased toward this little guy. It's a godsend while traveling, definitely.

Coming soon! omfg.

Got my SoftStep this past Tuesday (11/2/2010)- Rediculously light weight and portable. I'm still trying to get the software figured out though. Coming from the Behringer FCB1010 where you program everything on the device, setting up the SoftStep is a little different since you set it up using the supplied SoftStep software and you need to set the output of the your midi commands to use the software IAC Driver Bus on your Mac (if using a Mac, not sure what to do on Windows). Anyway still trying to get it figure out but it seems to be quite robust.
