Genetic Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 i just like the joystick and the mini kaoss pad i know it'll have ro probably be set up but i'm gonna be using ableton anyway so it'll be an easy setup Quote
Tomy Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 kaoss pad? its just a touch x, y, control or is it a korg? Quote
Genetic Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 it's a touch xy but it does have it's own name Xpression touchpad but all you'd need is the right synth program i'd love thishttp://www.novationmusic.com/products/sl_mkii?option=1but that probably won't be for a while Quote
ChevChelios Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 i've been loking at getting the novation 25I have a novation ReMOTE SL25, definately best product for its price, it has extremely nice feel and automap is a fairly useful tool.Axioms have nowhere near as many features and the sample pads are useless and just take up room.Chev.

Genetic Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 awesome someone who actually has one, how have you got the xy pad setup-what program are you using your controller with Quote
ChevChelios Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 awesome someone who actually has one, how have you got the xy pad setup-what program are you using your controller withI use it with ableton live 8, I have the pad assigned usually to a filter but you can use it with any effect reaaly and go crazy, you can also assign it to be pitch/modulation it you don't like the joystick.Chev.

Genetic Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 have you seen the new mk2? that's what i want to have set up ableton, in combination with decks, are you set up for live performance? if so,what sort of mixer are you using? Quote
ChevChelios Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Nah i don't do anything live, sorry.But yes the mkII look absolutely amazing and because its novation it'll be the best purchase of your life.Chev. Quote
Tomy Posted July 10, 2009 Author Posted July 10, 2009 i might have to have a closer look at novation now... price sort of turned me away. The Akia looked good any one used this? Quote
Paxx Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 I have the axiom 61 for sale in the gear section if your interested Quote
Paxx Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 good piece of equipment never had any problems i've used it with reason , live8 , guru, kontakt and battery and worked exactly how it should have Quote
mo-c Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 i think ill be getting the 25 key from apple...$250 Quote
CBG Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 you found an axiom 25 for $250?!I think I'll be getting one of these. Priced at $379 @ StoreDJ, but I reckon I can get one cheaper. Quote
mo-c Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 yeah go on to the apple website....they have the 25 key for $250.i was originally going to get one, but a mate of mine who does some production says 25 key is kinda useless and suggested i look at the novation keyboards instead.....anyone got any thoughts?

Tomy Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 yeh 25 keys is a little bit limiting. i'd go for 49key min. The novations are really good and have some good features but it comes at a price. Comes down to personal preferance in the end, you dont need to have what every one else has to create music. Limitation forces creativity. Quote
mo-c Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Limitation forces creativity.i like this. thank you Quote
Tomy Posted September 30, 2009 Author Posted September 30, 2009 no worries. bit deep but its true as. working with what you've got is always a good start Quote
ChevChelios Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 yeh 25 keys is a little bit limiting.True that. I wish I forked out for a 49 or 64 key. Quote
mo-c Posted October 3, 2009 Posted October 3, 2009 well i think i now know what im saving extra for lol Quote
NTO Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Have a gander at the article I just posted on this piece of kit, it's quite long winded and it was from a while ago so any specific questions I haven't answered I may have more light on now. http://www.ausdjforums.com/modules.php? ... pic&t=1503 Quote
