Keep in mind that you can use your compueters QWERTY to trigger clips and turn on/off loops and effects. Maybe get an old Keyboard and stick coloured stickers over the keys for triggering clips and use the rotaries and faders on the SL for filters & Highs, Mids, Lows controlls.
yeah, last night i put in a lot of work to better my layout on the sl, and it is sweet. i set up a bunch of filters in effect racks so i can control the freq and the resonance with one knob for a sweep effect. i also set up a couple send effects which sound sick with the highpass filters. so, overall, i just made my sl much more badass. i've also still got a few knobs left so i can still do a few other things. plus, did anyone know you can use the actual keys as triggers? 'cause that's sick.

oh, and one last thing, whoever sent me that "bananasatlarge" site, now THEY'RE out of stock too. perhaps i will hold off on the other controller.
