what controller works best with music maker 17 premium.

My name is Michael. I like a lot of styles of music. Played with different types of bands. But its the music in the soul that I value most. I'm not a great guitar player but I try to create a good sound that would take you on a short ride away. You can come back when you are ready. Thank you for listening. And call me Mike.

Hi mykonmax

I dont think there is any one controller which works best with MMM.

This is very much a personal choice which to use - so my answer is to ask you a question  - which one has the options you want eg:-

mod-wheel and/or pitch-bend wheel

drum pads in addition to the keyboard

should the keyboard be velocity sensitive

full size keyboard or short keyboard

etc, etc

and most importantly - which one has a keyboard action that feels right to you. Unfortunately for this one you have no option but to get your hands on them () and try the keyboard.

I would suggest you pick a small selection of controllers with the options you want and have a USB connection to a computer, then ask again if any users have experience of them
