There are a million other controllers that fulfill the tough, durable, loads of features requirements.
I've been looking for a tiny usb keyboard so I can sit at the coffee table and sketch out stuff for a few minutes when I want without having to drag out my bulky controllers and keyboards.
This is the first range of products that fulfill that need.
I'll definitely be buying at least one of them.

I'd agree with the comments on the keyboard...
looks dreadful.

The controllers on the other hand could be useful

The controller is very flimsy. The nanokeys keyboard takes a bit of getting used to but really works a treat, for what it is. The action on the keys is pretty gank but what do you want. I think it's great. Running it with my advent netbook and Reason 4 and other software. Gnick.

Are you using an external sound card with that? I was thinking of picking up an Axiom but I'd be worried about the quality of the sound.. And is Reason etc not hard to use on the small screen?

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

That reminds me - I must see if they have these out in X-Music.

 

[the departed]

they have them in xmusic and music maker.
FLIMSY.

good stocking filled though.

beats trying to drag my two ton DX27 out to patch up as a midi controller when all I want is a simple synth-y lead line or two

I'm using the onboard sound card most of the time and the rest I'm using an edirol ua-25. Strangely no latency with the onboard sound card.

Reason is fine. But best with a mouse. The touchpad on the advent is way too sensitive. I was surprised at how easy it was to get used to less screen space with Reason.

But there's more wires being added to what is supposed to be a portable solution. Considering the battery life on the Advent is pretty shite at the best of times. Might get one of the 7.5 hour batteries. 100 yankee dollars though. Best used with just headphones and onboard sound on a full battery charge. Otherwise you might was well use the full desktop.

Got the nanokeys from xmusic. Who will be getting most of my bizbiz from now on. If they get more stock in.

Are they marketing these to 13 year olds?
