Advice on Midi Controller

Very happy with the Axciom Pro 61; the Hyper Control makes for seamless mapping to Logic.

As far as the Novation is concerned, Automap is getting better with each update.
All the Logic plugs/instruments are pre mapped, but you may not like the schemes. Remapping is easy though, just takes time.

With Automap up to v3.4 you had to have a continuous C-2 note off message in the transport. Not a big deal but drove some people nuts. With v3.7 that is finally gone, but now the tap tempo is disabled 😟. You can still tap tempo on the keyboard and get the readout, but it does not communicate this back to Logic.

I think the drum pads and the XY control pad thing (not the joystick - the laptop control type of deal) are almost useless on the Novation.

There is a big difference in the feel of the keys between the Axiom and the Novation. If you are a player this could be an issue for you. Novation feels more 'keyboardy'.

Robby -- yes, the hyper control works with all Logic instruments and mixer out of the box. No additional mapping needed.
