A little background... I'm using Pro Tools 11, as well as Reason 6.5, Cubase 5, and Reaper 4. I've made do with a Keystation 49e, which has performed admirably across several systems for about ten years. I am looking to replace it with a 61-key controller. I have a dedicated pad controller (KORG padKontrol).
But I am underwhelmed with the current selection of MIDI controllers. Faders/sliders are useless to me, since nothing can currently perform auto-pickup (where the software fader does not move until the hardware fader crosses the current value) and many of them have standard pots instead of endless encoders.
The Novation Nocturn 61 is pretty much the most fitting controller that I have found, but they are nearly impossible to find (and Automap 4 doesn't work with PT11, as far as I know) and the Axiom AIR 61 is a close second (but again, the mapping software doesn't work with PR11) So I am in search of a quality controller with nothing but a keybed, pitch/mod controls, and possibly transport and patch change controls. I would prefer semi-weighted keys, but that's not a necessity.
My plan is to build a wooden "coffin" to securely house the keybed and padKontrol, to be rested on a keyboard stand in my home studio.
Too long, didn't read: Can anyone point me in the right direction? High-quality keybed, transport controls, 61 keys, USB and MIDI connections. Does CME still make good stuff? Rotary encoders optional, but I would really only want them if they have an LED ring.
