that'd be sooooooo frustrating but i usually turn the velocity off n do that via the piano roll

i hate swithing octaves aswell on small keyboards buy a decent sized one ;0)
Well I had to buy that to replace my old one as I'm in debt so I'm skint at the moment, but once I've payed off I'm definetly looking in to more hardware

goto a boot sale and look for a keyboard .... i see lots of oldskool keyboards @ boot sales and they're never usually more than £5 the midi lead to connect it will probably cost you more

Yeah man I looked into a Nanokontrol and they are pretty shitty, buttons get stuck sometimes too. But for what they cost it's not too bad for a cheapy interface to use while you save up some cash.

Yeah I've heard the buttons get stuck too, but I've not had that problem yet, but the nanokey is well flimsy.

I had watched this review before I tried one out, and almost the first thing I tried to do was recreate the button sticking he points out to see how easy it was to do.. maybe I started doing it subconciously after that heh.

Axiom 49 here. I never even use it. I am so used to using a mouse I never reach for it. I should reinstall the drivers, it has only been like 6 months since I reformatted my computer :lol:
