Bug Description

Hey guys,

I'm definitely what you would call a controllerist, and I'm currently running a 4 deck setup. Not only do I use a LOT of custom scripts bound to keys on my laptop (less than ideal), I'm only able to control playback of my 3rd and 4th decks by toggling from the 1st and 2nd--which gets confusing.

++++++++++++++++

So I'm looking for a really basic midi controller. No knobs. Nothing pressure sensitive, just an array of binary action buttons.

Can anyone recommend something as cheap as possible that's still reliable?

Hi,

Novation Launchpad: The Novation Launchpad is a popular choice among controllerists. It features an 8x8 grid of buttons that can be used for triggering samples, loops, and other functions. It's compact, reliable, and offers good integration with software like Ableton Live.
And
Korg nanoPAD2: The Korg nanoPAD2 is another compact MIDI controller with 16 responsive drum pads. It's lightweight, portable, and offers basic functionality for triggering samples and other actions. It's also reasonably priced.
Livid Instruments Base: Livid Instruments Base is a versatile and customizable MIDI controller that allows you to create your own layout of buttons. While it offers more flexibility and features than a basic array of buttons, you can configure it to suit your specific needs. It's a bit pricier than the other options mentioned, but it offers more customization options. https://www.tellhappystar.org/
