Alternatives to Pocket Control

alland · Post by **alland** » Mon Jul 09, 2007 7:40 pm

I'm looking to have a separate midi controller juts for FX during a live set. As it stands i'm looking at the Doepfer Pocket Control Midi Controller, it's cheap and just about perfect for what i want. Is there something out there that's comparable, but maybe USB? i already have a uc-33e for the mixing and eq, but want something smaller just for the fx controls

thanks in advance

The only Behringer thing I'd get:

Bcr2000

Quite cheap($) and very flexible.

thanks,saw the djfeedbacks, guess we're labelmates now

my friend has the cheap kenton controller (spin doctor?) and says its great and very robust. and another friend who has the behringer and says its well worth the money, not as robust though. and you wanted something smaller so i guess that's out of the question. the faderfox'es is a bit more expensive too..

Unfortunately, you can't get a new pocket control anymore. Doeopfer stopped manufacturing these.

They also made some other controllers that aren't on the page anymore... Monolake took these apart to build his own midi interface, monodeck I. Genius!
