I have mainly used a M-audio Oxygen 61 for controlling the synths in my MacBook Pro Intel DuoCore, OSX 10.6.7, blah, blah. I don't ever have any problems with it being recognized in Garageband, or Reason 4. I also run Parallels and Win XP for Cubase 5. Again, very few probs! I bought this handy dandy little Akai LPK25 so I could throw it in my backpack for note-padding musical ideas 3 months ago and I have YET to be able to utilize it! To pour salt in my wound, I took it back into Guitar Center yesterday cause I was just frustrated enough and the Mac guy behind the counter hooked it up, opened up Garageband and it worked INSTANTLY!! I have a ghost in my house preventing it's use within these walls, apparently. He agreed that there was some probs with Reason and Cubase recognizing it, tho. Sooooo, here's my question.
I am definitely putting this little demon on e-bay and might even include a bottle of Advil to the lucky auction winner because I think they're gonna need it. But, what are some other good laptop sized midi controllers that are cheap??? I don't want to spend more that $100 when all is said and done AND I want it to work!!!
Thanks in advance!
