Midi Controllers

[Wiggles_Malibu]

I'm sure it's been bought up before but I couldn't find anything when searching...
Do any of you lot recommend a midi controller? I'm taking the step from 1210's to laptop DJing.. I'm about 10years behind I know... A midi life crises... Anyway I understand Traktor is the preferred software of choice.. I'm looking at various controllers, anything between £120 - £250, not a lot I know but just wanna get started with something that's not going to feel too cheap or fall apart too soon...Or do I need to spend more? I have no idea..

Any help appreciated.

I like the Kontrol X1.

X1 is really good...

But it *is* just a controller.

Need to factor in your soundcard as well

Traktor really is the weapon of choice...

Im sure if you buy any NI hardware, you can upgrade the software for a song

Numark Omni is good robust mid range controller

Not a midi controller and maybe should've been posted in the 'things you really want' thread, but I've got to have one of these for the iPad.
Akai's MPC Fly.

Spunk is upped.

Whoosh - nearly half the price of an iPad Be interesting to see if many think an app is worth it...

wow - looks great but that's pricey for an app? I got the Korg iMS20 app for the iPad, which is very impressive but ultimately does feel like its limited by being on an iPad...

[Rocky]

It's not an app. You get the hardware. Its like the controller part of an MPC with a case, and your ipad sits in the upper part of the case. The hardware then plugs into the pad.

It probably is, considering theyre for girls to watch Friends on while you control the mothership!
