Sibob Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 If you do, what exactly do you use it for? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I do, but most of what I record is done using virtual instruments so it controls pretty much everything for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowdown Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I use two. One weighted Keyboard for playing keyboard parts in (VSTI's) - A Yamaha P71 (88). I also have a Nektar Panorama P4, which I use for all my parameter/automation controlling, along with CC#'s etc on Virtual Instruments. The pads are also good for Percussion & Drums etc. All my Orchestral Instrument parts are played in with this as well. It's semi weighted, but I prefer it for the Single line Instruments.

WinterMute Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) I’ve got a Nord Electro for a keyboard, it’s on an underslung shelf as I don;t do a lot of keyboard work, I have an Avid S3 as my controller for protools, plus the Avid Control app running on an old iPad as an auto locator. The S3 is very smart, puts a lot of the functionality of protools under hardware control, it’s a brilliant piece of work.

Crawford13 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) Yeah I use an Alesis V49. I use it for virtual instruments, as it has keys and pads. It’s not the greatest MIDI keyboard out there but it’s reasonably priced and does the job. Edited November 25, 2018 by Crawford13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John T Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I use a little analogue Arturia 32 mainly for writing and accessing virtuals in Logic X. Brilliant controller for my purposes even if i sometimes don't use it on every track/idea.....Depends how i conceived the spark and what is the easiest to get an idea flowing, the Arturia, a bass or guitar even......

Dood Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I have the amazing Novation Launch Key. I bought it because it will run direct on my iPad making a really compact synth or controller. In my studio Of course like others it is for playing Virtual Instruments including of course drums. I also love the wide range of other controllers on board too so I can start my DAW recording, I can adjust the mix and I can assign pads to do different jobs. I do use Logic Remote a lot and I find that in conjunction with my Novation, I have a really slick environment that helps me get things done.

songofthewind Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Axiom Air 49 here. Good quality. Works pretty good with Logic. Has transport controls which are useful. Logic occasionally deletes its .bundle in the MIDI devices folder, which is odd. It still works, but I lose the HyperControl functionality, and have to drag a copy of the .bundle back to the folder.

Bleat Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Roland A-800 Pro .. I use it for all music composition, playing my software instruments in Cubase 8. Works well, feels great. I have tried a fair few midi controllers, but this in my opinion has nicest quality "synth action" keybed of the lot , and overall looks very sleek and understated. It has the usual extras eg transport controls, sliders ,knobs, pads etc... most of which I do not use. I am very "old school" and still do everything with a mouse. Far too many controllers these days are just too "bling" and full of flashing lights and other "cool" features .. sadly I don't have a hipster beard so would not look right using one of those anyway. I also still have my little Alesis Q49 over there in the corner > . It's cheap and cheerful and has been like a comfy pair of musical slippers for me. I will not part with it as most of my (good?) ideas have been created using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigwan Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I don't, but I suspect I will in future having just bought Solemn Tones Odin 2 and Loki... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SH73 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I will be once I get a studio room. For the time being, everything is in and out of a box when recording/playing. It's painstaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
