Hi Lee. Yes, I think I’m headed in that direction. The Novation keyboard itself has a nice comfortable synth feel to it. That’s why I use it so much. The selection of controls are nice and if you wanted to assign some discrete item to a control, that works. But, to have full, hands-on, feel for operating your DAW, I think CMCs or a Mackie would be much more versatile and give you that more intuitive studio-like interaction with the DAW. You went with the Transport and QC controllers. If you were to invest in another, which one(s) would it be?
Thanks! Ed
