was looking for a real simple one, and asking if anyone had or knew of a good one that they'd recommend (nothing too pricey, <$150). maybe 2x midi i/o with some rca's + 1/4"'s (for later expansion

), but i found out that the microkontrol is a midi interface if you have it hooked up to your comp via usb
so...! that being said... not gonna get a synth for a while (saving for a TI!

), so i can just build on the kontrol (maybe a 49...? i like the fact that it has more keys and actual jog/mod wheels, as opposed to an x/y stick alone) to use w/ the ti desktop once i get goin.
