  2. the Bitstream Midi controller looks nifty and finally a Midi controller that has a Crossfader,
    + X/Y control. :)

    Only thing that keeps me away is the fact, that i have a CME keyboard controller already and the Midi handling is really crab! The editor eg. works as a virtual Mididriver between Keyboard and host. There are still bugs and after half a year of waiting CME finally released a beta of an editor that is far from professional.

    so, unless i have confirmations from other users that this thing is working better, i'll stay away.
    I mean you can't argue about what you get for the money, but there
    is always a difference between "cheap" and "worth the money". After 4 month of having it
    half of the frontpanels printing + paint of the sidepanels has rubbed off.

    The key action is great though and the only reason why i actually keep it. However, i will go for the new 61 key Novation controller
    unless another controller (withoput I/Os!!) will hit the market within the next 3 month.
