I've got the Radium 61 key. The knobs and sliders are of great use to me in conjunction with Reason. I use it for soft synths but am considering buying a module like the Proteus or the Vintage Keys to use in live settings.
The action is acceptable and the usb cable proved handy when I lost my midi cables.
I had to grab the updated driver online tho.

Monstertruck,
not sure what you mean? Do you mean this?

As far as the keys, yeah. they feel kinda cheap. No cheaper than the Edirol controller I sampled at GC. At least they're full size. With that said, I'm a hack player anyway so my input on accuracy and feel should be taken with a shaker of salt.

no i was talking about the tascam US-122, the small usb soundcard.
and i just wanted to know if the radium does everything u need it to do and do u think u need the 61 keys or should i say would 49 like in the edirol be to little?
i'll also note that i need a midi controller to for all synths and drum sequences so i was wandering if the radium is a good fit for that .
thanx

Whoa! that makes a lot more sense!
Actually, I have a RME 96/52 card with Apogee converters and a big behri board. When I use the Radium, I just use the USB port and skip all that stuff anyway, tho.
I could have gotten away with the 49 key but I got the bigger one because I wanted real keyboardists to feel comfortable playing in my studio. I like bringing in musicians who can actually play the instrument.
