Mmmmm, been eyeing up one of those Novation controllers or the new Korg one.
Does it really make that much difference ? I must admit, despite having bought several softsynths I use my hardware much more as I find it easier to tweak, even with SX's less easy MIDI controller editing than the VSTi editing.
Maybe this type of thing could get me using them more (that and ABL
)

i must say, its a relief programing sounds by ear and hand again, and not by staring at the screen and tiny readouts all the time.
i'm happy so far... and now for that uQ preset

due to a small tip found on m-audio's website i found out its very easy to make presets for controling all of logic's native fx, eq's and such. i wasnt even thinking i was gonna use this for mxing, but as you know sweeping eq's by hand cant be passed up on

As for RAT, I've been banging on to you to try it out for some time (even offered to loan you my Freaks if you were interested mate) - seeing as I never heard back from you I guess you weren't interested.. then I stumble up on this here post and well... I suppose my offer wasn't good enough eh?
On a serious note, the main things I find are worth looking for on control surfaces for VSTIs are:
1) Programmability/ease of programability (sounds like you've got that one down Milan!)
2) Profile memories.. the main thing that makes surfaces better than just assigning midi controls on your keyboard etc... memories means you don't have to "learn" the midi assignments each time! Just switch the thing on, dial up the profile of choice and you're away!
3) Profile support; no sense in having one if profile support is limited or non existant - kenton are fairly good (I should know I did them a load of profiles not too long ago!!
), but I've heard others are notoriously bad for offering updates and the soft synth manufacturers don't always provide as much midi implimentation details as their hardware counterparts do, so its not as easy to make profile maps!And forget some VSTIs having Midi learn.. while this is generally a moderately good feature, it makes it awkward for those setting up profiles and spreading them because controls could be assigned to any midi CC, and the idea is to get the surface to TRANSMIT the correct CC not have the synth receive any old CC...

2) 33 memories, all overwriteable
3) profiles? takes ten minutes to make you own innit
not a bad value for 200euros i think. normaly you get 16 knobs/faders for almost as much.
