Just chiming in, since you asked! Good luck!ДЄbout AUTOMAP software, (I've been working with for 2 years) it is true that the duplication of plugins due to the way it works can become a real problem. Again, my 2 cents - and take all of that with a grain of salt. I've not put my hands on the new one, but I'm not gonna lie, it looks sexy as hell and I want one.

Now with the Keylab it's obvious that they are not abandoning the development and improvement of the software - and the controller and the same metal/wood build but a bit sleeker and lower profile as well as drum pads. I'm a bit of a preset jockey - so I don't mind that at all (the limitations, that is) Also it seemed the accompanying Lab synth plugin/software was a bit unstable, not to mention limited.

While the Analog factory controllers were built VERY well some complained about the springy/spongy-ness of the keys. Overall the Automap is invasive to your system and workflow and counterproductive. It's a super hassle, instead of just plugging it in and getting going - and having your DAW handling all the knob assignments, which most of all of them do with a 'learn' feature.

Plus it sucks to have to have another app floating/running in the backround while working in your DAW. Effectively doubling your plugin widows and making navigation a pain. You have to have it scan your plugins and create a separate 'wrapped' automap version of the plugin. One thing I do know, with their previous line of controllers, if you want to use it with a DAW you have to utilize their AUTOMAP software - which is powerful, but not practical. I've no idea what the deal is with the new 'In Control' protocol. Novation Launchkey is supposed to be awesome. But for an iPad musician, those are big deals.

No proper mod wheel or even an easily accessible button alternative. You have to use a powered hub or one of those tricky little hubs on ebay.Дў. Sometimes it will powerup and connect, but then disconnect because it draws too much. The mini Is not iPad compliant with regards to power. The MPKmini seemed like a perfect companion for my iPad as it slips into my backpack fine, had drum pads and proper (but small) keys (unlike the 'button' styled keys of the korg controllers) - but two shortcomings.ДЎ. I'd have to hit the key hard to get it to fire out a midi note)ДЄkai support was less than helpful so I got frustrated and just unloaded it with 'as-is' on the issues. the action felt normal, but the midi it spit out was intermittent. The replacement I got came out of the box with a bad (did not respond) top-left drum pad and the middle G key had a faulty sensor.

The first MPK25 I had died with a firmware update (FROM the akai support site, mind you) but they don't support that stuff directly as it was not developed by them. They are almost perfect - the only problem, as cool as they seem, is build quality.

Withe the larger MPK's I was initially excited about the MPC-styled pads on them as well as their versatility. I've had an Akai MPK49, and (2) MPK25's, the MPKMini, and the LPK25.

(Overall, I'd say get the Arturia minilab or hold out for the Keylab Series, which is what I'm doing) Here's my thoughts on that: I've gone through a few of the controllers from both Akai and Novation and here are my thoughts. Do not start your DAW without it.Yes the Akai is class compliant and can work with the iPad - but not without additional power. They are equipped with RGB LEDs in full-color colours, so they match exactly the color of your clips, and their speed sensitivity means you can package your beats with expression. Start your clips, check your effects, play beats and more with Launchkey's 16 pads. Simply connect it to your computer's USB port and the keys, faders, buttons and RGB pads that are sensitive to speed give you complete hands-on control over Ableton's session display, instruments, effects and mixer. But even if you use a different DAW, you will appreciate the ergonomic layout of the Launchkey and the right sense of justice. The Novation Launchkey 61 is your fast and simple solution for producing and performing electronic music with Ableton Live.
