There are two free softwares that combined they can make the DAW read any USB joystick as a MIDI controller: MIDIloop and Fergo Joystick. Using that I built my own controller (foostwitch) using Amazon Arcade Buttons and a wood box. Overall project cost less then 30 dollars.

My first midi keyboard was a Roland A-800 Pro, I got it for a hundred bucks like new so I couldn't pass that up. I was going to order an arturia minilab mk2 the next day until I got the Roland. It works great.

Great stuff, guys. Really enjoyed it. One thing I think very much worth people considering and being mentioned is the Seaboard midi that ROLI makes. Very interesting...and you get their equator synth engine. Keep up the goodness! Justin, you’re a square cat. Like, I carved block square, not fiftyish.

Q49 is a good value, but if you play keys at all, you won't be happy with the spungy keys for long. Far better choice by miles is the Roland A49 which has some of the best synth action keys available.

Hey, thanks a lot for the info. I have a question that I can’t seem to find the answer to in any of these videos. I’m looking for a MIDI pad controller, that sends an output to a synth (Roland JP-08) to play it. The trick is I want to program the pads to play multiple notes. Like one pad triggers C and G. Is this possible without hooking it up to a computer? The Roland JP-08 has an MIDI I/O ports. Thanks man!

Nice presentation and lots of good information. Re Maschine MK3, if you wanted MPC work flow you could use MPC Touch/MPC Live ;-) As you said these are great that almost everything can be achieved via the pads/screen on the device, with the laptop/PC tucked out of the way.

@reverb hi, great video, I love that some midi controllers have a ton of capabilities, I wish they made them with bigger pads for drummers, most midi controllers/ samplers/ and percussion pads have limited onboard/realtime functions (effects, slice, echo, pitch bend etc) compared to midi controllers that come with pads for finger drumming, keys, knobs, buttons etc. Would it be possible to create a chain between a computer with ie an akai mpk in the middle to manipulate the sounds and control the functions of say a Roland spd sx?

Hi Justin, great video. I am planning to buy a midi controller & I would need both keys & drum pads. I am thinking of either going with Arturia keylab 61 mk2 or Akai mpk2 61, as both have drum pads. But how about a midi keyboard like M-Audio Oxygen 61 paired up with an akai mpd 218 or above. Please help me with this, which would be a better option & also which one would be better keyboard in both categories. also would love if you could do a comparison on various akai mpd models if possible. I am just starting out though but have been using daw mostly FL studio & recently cubase.

Awesome synth congrats. If you don't mind small keys, get an Arturia KeyStep, it's got cool arpeggiators and proper MIDI DINs. Something bigger, a Roland A49 has great feeling synth action keys and proper MIDI DINs for communicating with your Dreadbox synth. Finally, if you're an Ableton user, the Novation SL Mk3 looks awesome, and it has semi-weighted keys, and all the connections you could ever want. Pricey but nice.

if youre tryna make your own music at least get a few knobs, you can put anything from your daw that is a slider onto a knob and fuck that is way more useful that you could imagine if youre trying to get different automation, imo knobs can be more important than keys at first the way i make my automation

and other midis commonly have 2 wheels on the left hand side which are responsible for bending the pitch of a sound to a different pitch and another wheel responsible for modulation which is an intermediate topic.

MPK 49 pads suck. Get a Korg Pad Kontrol. NIGHT and DAY. Nuakai is not old akai which had amazing pads. electrical tape mod doesn't do it. Don't believe the hype. I've tried, but never been able to use the pads. Ever. Also, my encoders are constantly sending random data when I'm not touching them. The longevity of the Akai MPK49 is maybe 3 years before it starts to transmit garbage data.
