Hey All,
I'm currently thinking about getting a "grid" style controller,
something to control a live performance. Looking at the options I see
the Novation Launchpad
<http://www.novationmusic.com/products/midi_controllers/launchpad>,
Akai APC 20 <http://www.akaipro.com/apc20>, Akai APC
40<http://www.akaipro.com/apc40> .
I'm aware that the launchpad has been "converted" to linux by the
great work of NightMorph (see here
<https://github.com/nightmorph/launchpad>) A bit of googling / forum
reading didn't get me many results on if the APC line works with
Linux / if its a standard MIDI device?
Very instrested in peoples experiences!
Cheers, -Harry
I'm curious, how do you plan to use such a device in a linux audio
environment? What will you map the buttons and faders to?
Also a cheaper alternative, which seems to be plain usb-midi, may be the
midifighter <http://midifighter.com/>
cheers
