intuitive keyboard interface for Live - Belkin Nostromo N52

[Blackout International]

I am currently using live 2 on a Powerbook 1.5 GHz (waiting for Live 4 to upgrade) with a Belkin Nostromo N52 Speedpad. It's got an ugly name, but is an amazaing trigger device. It is typically a gaming peripheral, but will work with any app. It is fully programmable via it's host app, the Nostromo Array. PC or Mac. I really like it because I can perfrom most functions with one hand, and can perfrom them quickly. I have found I can turn my quantization way down (shorter increments) allowing better versatility since I no longer need to hunt and peck for trigger keys. Also, I have basically 50 keys when using the "shift" keys on the speedpad. That should be more than enough for most Live sets. I utilize the "D-pad" for Play, Stop, and scrolling. I have a big orange button for recording. It even has a scroll wheel. It is only 30 bucks american...give it a shot. It rocks.
