this is also pretty.. humorous imo (more so when you click 'park' and he is rocking out next to a homeless looking fella)

They look like nice portable units to take around.

The MiniKey looks pretty good, a nice upgrade from say an Akai MPK mini

but as for the Launch Control, i can think of 10 better controllers. Just cause they make it look tight with the Launchpad S

dont mean much imo.
