Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This controller uses the novation Automap software. When using the hardware as intended, no midi messages are sent to your DAW. Midi is sent to the automap virtual server, which then sends automation data to your DAW. You may use the controller as a midi device, but you lose all functionality with automap. In Ableton Live 8 this type of implementation is buggy and has considerable latency. With Ableton 8.2.1 and Automap 3.7 it is not possible to use this controller to record automation unless you MIDI learn your controller parameters to instrument rack functions. This being the case, you might as well save yourself 50 bucks and buy a korg nanokontrol or the lpd8 which do not use automap type technology. Don't let this discourage you if you want it for live performance only or for use with another DAW.
