Been looking at some from Kenton, anyone any advice or recomendations.
Main use for Live mixing of my own tracks.
Faders and lots of assignable knobs required.

We love assignable Knobs !

Help appreciated

thnx for the suggestion - have you used it with a mac or pc.

Forgot to mention that I use Macintosh and I notice on the wesite that it started off pc only.

Cheers

Wave Idea Rocks. I have One (Agent 86 here btw). Shouldn't matter about mac or PC really - its just midi. Progammability would be the only issue but you don't need to programme with live as it "learns".

I rate it 10/10.

I absolutely love my M-Audio Oxygen 8, it has worked beautifully in Mac OS 9 as well as 10.1.5 and now 10.2.2 and on my postproduction PC running win 2k and now XP. The Oxygen has a 25 key keyboard and 8 assignable control knobs. More info here:

These guys also have some pretty intriguing options; I especially like the UC-16:

hey,

the most cheap and flexible solution is to build your own midi controller-
I did it without any previous knowledge, according to the great site www.uCapps.de (don't worry about .de, it's international).
design etc. is all free.

if you don't like soldering very much, it's components can even be ordered pre-fab (link on the site; still cheap). you just have to decide how many faders/pots/buttons you want; up to 64 faders and 40 buttons = no problem - and then connect stuff.

check out the 'midi box hardware platform' and the great forum.

ps. works with mac; the main chip needs to be 'burned' though, for which you should find somebody with a non-mac.
