Cheezy Marketing .. but cheap cheerful midi controller

So definetly THE cheeziest marketing video I think I've ever seen .. (especially the kiddie playing it!)

but in fairness a really cheap midi controller will decent size AND touch sensitive jog wheels ... and all for $99 (or less than $80 on amazon)

It gets good reviews from skratchworx .. but not a huge amount of dials though. Linky

The jogs are ment to be superb

I'm gonna get one to modify (might put the guts in a decent casing).

Lighten up .. its what .. 50 - 60 euros, big touch sensitive jogs .. + 22 midi control buttons and mouse thingy.

I wouldn't use it as a primary controller or anything, but it does have enough rotary's to use as a handy additional effects control surface.

Dj Hero .. Totally ! Just wish they'd midi up the Dj Dao beatmania arcade controller hehehe ..

For that price you can get loads of better quality MIDI controllers, MIDI keyboards, the Korg Nano series, a load of small AKAI ones, and they'd all have better response and build quality.

It'd be as much use scratching on that thing as trying to scratch on one of the faders on the NanoKontrol.
