can anyone please help me choose the proper midi controller, Its so many out there its hard to choose wich one can work best with module 8 interface???

That's a personal question and you will find as many differing tastes as people got asses


Having in mind modul8's UI, I would say only a combination of at least two controllers would be the perfect solution to controlling modul8 through a hardware interface.

Interface 1 should have a 4x4 launchpad like the media section of modul8 (TriggerFinger, akai 1000, padKontrol. etc.)

Interface 2 should have a whackload of sliders knobs, etc., to tweak as many parameters as possible (BCR2000, UC-33, etc)

Then again, right now i am using an Edirol PCR-30 keyboard with just 8 sliders , 8 knobs and 9 buttons. I am used to it, but I'd change it for one of the combos mentioned above any day. IN this category of "all round controllers", as I'd like to call them, the NOvation Remote25 or the new Novation SL look as the best choices.

Hope that helps.

Just combine 1 and 2 and you have:

Korg MicroKontrol

Akira u the best thanx for your help, and sorry guys that im asking maybe dumb questions, but in the country that im from VJ's dont exist so u got to help me out.
thanx again, and if you have any other useful tips please keep it coming.
cuz i wanna invest in some hardware but so hard to decide which is the right one, and I LOVE MODULE 8 so i want something that works with this amaizing piece of software.

THANX.

the Korg microKontrol is a good allround keyboard, one of the best choices for option 3, yes, I forgot about it

Insane, any more questions you have, feel free to ask in the forums

Now, what do you think?

Nr.1.Trigger Finger
Nr.2.EC2000
Nr.3.Korg Microcontrol

The prices are pretty much the same i can get nr.1 + nr.2. or a can get nr.3?

[Akira]

I couldn't find any EC2000 controller, I suppose you mean the Behringer BCR2000

In any case, I doubt the price of TriggerFinger+BCR2000 equals that of a Korg microKontrol!!

If you are short on budget, get the allround one, which is the microKontrol.

But before buying ANYTHING, try them first. They might not feel comfortable to you.

got a microkontrol.
it's crap.
bugged encoders, approximative sliders. Cheap, overall.
The novation SL would be my top choice.
Otherwise, triggerfinger/BCR or BCF 2000 would be nice. Used them both, nice to use.

If room/ease of use//money is an issue, get yourself an old keyboard and customize it/paint it to mod8 UI, and get a behringer.
