Hi,
I'm looking for a lower-end MIDI DAW controller that I can use in Logic and Reaper. I know these things run from about £50 - £000's, and so I'm very much looking at the lower end of the spectrum.
I generally do smaller projects (up to around a dozen tracks, although some are larger) and have a Kurzweil SP4-8 as my main MIDI input. I use Logic mainly, and make use of its inbuilt vsts and plugins.
What I am looking for in a controller is the ability to control the individual tracks volume, panning, etc, with buttons for solo/mute/arm recording, as well as general transport controls.
I have seen, at the very low end, the Korg Nanokontroller 2, which seems to fit what I want very much, but is a little flimsy, and slightly higher up, the Novation ZeRo SL MkII, which also seems like a good choice, but at this stage may be a little too much for what I need?
Can anyone advise and give me their thoughts? I wouldn't mind spending a little more on something like the Novation, as long as I knew that I had the ability to have individual buttons for Solo/Mute etc, like on the Korg - I don't want to jump in too deep at this stage without really knowing what I'm doing..
Thanks for any help,
Robert
