if a company is going to release a pricey controller the least they can do is throw on some motorized faders, which it this point in the game shouldn't be considered exotic.
yeah, you too AKAI. there will still be the cheap m-audio controllers for people who don't care about that type feature.
At the very least work with Ableton on getting Automap Universal to handle DAW features?!?? That this isn't an issue in EVERY Novation thread on this board?? Love the concept of Automap, hate the execution with Live.
What blows my mind is that nobody gets all of it right. I could give two fucks about Automap ( I find it buggy on my system, it's at a 20% of the time force quit ratio ), if the controller had a decent keyboard,
large LCDs like the old SL series, and motorized faders like the CME and mackie controllers.
I know what you mean. Sometimes I think all the hardware manufacturers are in a secret cartel where they plan out the features that each of them will have on each product, purposefully leaving out useful things on each one so that they can can all keep us wanting more due to the imperfections of each, and gradually tempt to upgrade to the next fancy thing that has just one more feature that you want, but not the features of the competitors. Fishy.
But I don't know if it's novations fault entirely that ableton has no HUI control in automap universal. All the other hosts do now, so it seems strange that ableton doesn't. Maybe ableton hasn't provided something necessary, who knows.
And about the keyboards, I think they have the best feel out there. That's my favorite thing about them.
They would have had my money if they didn't make the idiotic mistake of removing an lcd display.
You know what I want to see? Kore 3 come in a full keyboard version with 16 encoders and 8 sliders like the SL. Then your setups could be preset specific. That wold kill automap for me.
