If you are into softsynths, the Korg MS20ic is a rare limited edition.

I recently won a Korg MS20ic Controller. It works beautifully though Ableton 8.2 without any problems as there has been a recent update to the downloadable driver. A bit smaller than I expected, this controller is quite the looker in the studio and it's size is generous enough to conveniently place on a small desk or shelf without taking up too much space or weighing too much. Housed with a Microkorg keybed, the keys are funtional enough to play simple melodic lines or chords or even just for pressing a key while programming. Otherwise, I prefer my usual controller which didn't have any driver problems using along side the MS20ic. Overall this controller has enabled me to use the software in conventional ways I probably wouldn't have attempted with a mouse. IMO, the software is not groudbreaking, but an overall decent model of the real deal. Again, I woldn't put this up against some of the heaving hitting softsynths out there, but it's definitly useable and polyphonic to boot. I am looking forward to using this as a VST effect as well. One of the reasons I wanted the controller version was to use with my iMS20 app on the iPad. A USB powed hub is needed to power the controller which then connects to your camera connection kit. I was a bit dissapointed to discover this, but it works flawlessly. If you are into softsynths, the MS20ic is a rare discontinued limited edition to any in the box set-up.Read full review
